Answer:
22 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
c+s=52, c = 52-s
3c+5s=200
3(52-s) +5s = 200
156 - 3s +5s = 200
5s-3s = 200-156
2s = 44
Shrimp = 44/2 = 22 pounds
The number 2852.1 is already rounded to the tenth since the tenth place is one place to the right of the decimal
Hello There!
<u><em>n - d = 0</em></u>
<u><em>5n+10d = 90</em></u>
<u><em>----------------------</em></u>
<u><em>n-d = 0</em></u>
<u><em>n+2d = 18</em></u>
<u><em>-------------------</em></u>
<u><em>Subtract and solve for "d":</em></u>
<u><em>3d = 18</em></u>
<u><em>d = 6 (# of dimes)</em></u>
<u><em>n = d = 6 (# of nickels)</em></u>
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
