We let x as the cost of one ounce of Sumatra and y as the cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi. For mixture 1, we have 12x + 4y = 32 and for mixture b, we have 4x + 12y = 40
First, Multiply eq. 1 by 4
4(12x + 4y = 32)4 ⇒ 36x + 12y = 96
We now have
(36x + 12y = 96) – (4x + 12y = 40)
<span>X = 1.75 ⇒ cost of one ounce of Sumatra
</span>
Substitute x to either equation to get the value of y
12(1.75) + 4y = 324
y = 32-21
4y = 11
Y = 2.75 ⇒ cost of one ounce of Celebes Kalossi
Answer:
2950 [Starting from 2,000 bacteria.]
Step-by-step explanation:
400/8 = 50
Bacteria grown/time = bacteria per hour
19x50 = 950
time x bacteria per hour = bacteria grown
2000 + 950
bacteria started + bacteria grown
The answer to your question is 0.6875
Answer:
