Answer:
<em>He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call
x = pounds of trail mix 5% raisins
y = pounds of trail mix 20% raisins
The distributor wants to make 1,000 pounds of trail mix, thus:
x + y = 1,000 [1]
The mix must be 8% raisings as a combination of x and y, thus:
5x + 20y = 8*1,000 = 8,000
Dividing by 5:
x + 4y = 1,600 [2]
Subtracting [2] and [1]:
4y - y = 1,600 - 1,000
Operating:
3y = 600
y = 200
From [1]
x = 1,000 - y = 1,000 - 200
x = 800
He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins
Answer: 6(x)-2/8
Step-by-step explanation:
6 parentheses to represent multiplying,and unknown number inside you would use a variable, and then subtract 2 and use the slash sign ( / ) to represent the fraction bar and write 8 next to it
.
Rounding is important, because you could have endless quotients.
For example, 10 / 3.3 = 3.3333333333333333333333333333333333333.
It is recommended that you stop at the hundreths place and round.
