A company produces fruity drinks that contain a percentage of real fruit juice. Drink A contains 20% real fruit juice and Drink

Setler [38]

Answer:

There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = the amount of Drink A and b = the amount of Drink B

Multiplying a number by 0.2 is the same as calculating 20% of it and same goes with 15% and 0.15. This makes our equation for the amount of fruit juice:

0.2a + 0.15b = 100.5

We know what the difference between a and b will be 30 liters so:

a - b = 30

Now we have our system of equations

To cancel out a, we can multiply the first equation by -5 so we will now have:

-a - 0.75b = -502.5

a - b = 30

Adding these two equations together, we get:

-1.75b = -472.5

Both sides are negative, so we can take the negative signs away.

1.75b = 472.5

Now divide both sides by 1.75

b = 270

Plugging 270 into b, we have:

a - b = 30

a - 270 = 30

Add 270 to both sides

a = 300

There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B

Please help me! Find the number x such that f(x) =1

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the piecewise function:

$f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\ x & \quad x > -2 \end{array} \right.$

And we want to find x such that f(x)=1.

So, let's substitute 1 for f(x):

$1 = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\ x & \quad x > -2 \end{array} \right.$

This has two equations. So, we can separate them into two separate cases. Namely:

$1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1\text{ or } 1=x$

Let's solve for x in each case.

Case I:

We have:

$1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1$

Add 1 to both sides:

$2=-\frac{1}{2}x$

Let's cancel out the fraction by multiplying both sides by -2. So:

$2(-2)=(-2)\frac{-1}{2}x$

The right side cancels:

$-4=x\\$

Flip:

$x=-4$

So, x is -4.

Case II:

We have:

$1=x$

Flip:

$x=1$

This is the solution for our second case.

So, we have:

$x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1$

Now, can check to see if we have to to remove solution(s) that don't work.

Note that x=-4 is the solution to our first equation.

The first equation is defined only if x is less than -2.

-4 is less than -2. So, x=-4 is indeed a solution.

x=1 is the solution to our second equation.

The second equation is defined only if x is greater than or equal to -2.

1 is greater than or equal to -2. So, x=1 is also a solution.

Therefore, our two solutions are:

$x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1$

Out of our answer choices, we can pick D.

And we're done!

A farmer harvested some of his pecan crops on Friday and Saturday.what fraction of the pecan crop was harvested in two days

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Hence the 3.28 %or 2/61 of total work will be done .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The pecan crops are harvested for friday and saturday (2days)

To find :

What fraction these 2 days corresponds to the harvesting days?

Solution;

The pecan crops are growing in America in state of Georgia

and consider that in months of October and November pecan crop becomes mature .

Hence the harvesting period is of 2 months considerably .

The month of October and November days are 31 and 30 .

Hence the Total days of harvesting are 61 days.

In these days total Pecan crops will be harvested.(100% work in 61 days)

Now the farmer harvest for 2 days only .

Required fraction=2/61

=0.0327869

=3.28%

Depending upon the crop field and planting answer will vary

But 3.28 % of total work will be done in 2 days on harvesting
