The statement which identifies Melissa’s error and the correct answer is; Melissa added incorrectly. The correct answer is 4.5°F
<h3>Temperature</h3>
- Initial temperature = -20.5°F
- Change in temperature per hour = 5°F
- Number of hours = 5
New temperature = Initial temperature + (Change in temperature per × Number of hours)
= -20.5°F + (5°F × 5)
= -20.5°F + (25°F)
= 4.5°F

The 10 tons should have 37.9% cement.
Let the 25% mixture be x tons
Then the 68% mixture will be (10 -x) tons.
Using formula for mixtures:
Let p for percentage and w for weight in tons.
p₁w₁ + p₂w₂ = pw
25*x + 68*(10-x) = 37.9*10
25x + 680 - 68x = 379
680 - 43x = 379
680 - 379 = 43x
301 = 43x
43x = 301
x = 301/43
x = 7
Recall that x, was for the 25% mixture, 7 tons.
a) For the 68% mixture, = 10 - x = 10 -7 = 3 tons.
b) For the 25% mixture = x = 7 tons.
Hello! For this question, we are looking for the unit rate. To find the unit rate, all you have to do is divide the cost by the number of cupcakes bought. In this case that's 6/4. 6/4 is 1.5. There. Each cupcake costs $1.50.
