jacob wants to buy packets of fruit juice. on tuesday, he buys 8 packets of orange and 6 packets of Apple the packets make a tot

ioda

Answer:

Each packet of orange can make 2 cups of juice and each packets of Apple can make 3 cups of juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of cups of juice in each packet of orange be 'x'.

Let number of cups of juice in each pack of apples be 'y'.

Given:

On Tuesday;

Number of packets of oranges = 8

Number of packets of apples = 6 packets.

Amount of fruit juice = 34 cups

So we can say that;

Amount of fruit juice is equal to sum of Number of packets of oranges multiplied by number of cups of juice in each packet of orange and Number of packets of apples multiplied by number of cups of juice in each pack of apples.

framing in equation form we get;

$8x+6y=34 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1$

On Wednesday;

Number of packets of oranges = 14

Number of packets of apples = 6

Amount of fruit juice = 46 cups

So we can say that;

Amount of fruit juice is equal to sum of Number of packets of oranges multiplied by number of cups of juice in each packet of orange and Number of packets of apples multiplied by number of cups of juice in each pack of apples.

framing in equation form we get;

$14x+6y=46 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2$

Now Subtracting equation 1 from equation we get;

$14x+6y-(8x+6y)=46-34\\\\14x+6y-8x-6y=12\\\\6x=12$

Now dividing both side by 6 we get;

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{12}{6}\\\\x=2\ cups$

Now we will substitute the value of 'x' in equation 1 we get;

$8x+6y=34\\\\8\times2+6y=34\\\\16+6y=34$

Subtracting both side by 16 we get;

$16+6y-16=34-16\\\\6y= 18$

Now dividing both side by 6 we get;

$\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{18}{6}\\\\y=3$

Hence Each packet of orange can make 2 cups of juice and each packets of Apple can make 3 cups of juice.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

141, meaning that there will be two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic is $b^2-4ac$ , which in this case is:

$9^2-4(5)(-3)=81+60=141$

Since the discriminant is positive and not zero, there will be two real solutions to this equation. This is because when the discriminant is negative, and you take the square root of it, you get a negative number. If you take the square root of 0, you get 0, which means that there will only be one solution to the equation.

Hope this helps!

A. Every month Population will increase by a factor of 0.84%.

B. Every 3 months Population will increase by a factor of 2.5%.

C. Increase in population in every 20 months is 10% + 6.72% = 16.72%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have number of employees in a company has been growing exponentially by 10% each year. So , If we have population as x in year 2019 , an increase of 10% in population in 2020 as $x + \frac{x}{100}\times10$ which is equivalent to $\frac{11x}{10}$ .

A.

For each month: We have 12 months in a year and so, distributing 10% in 12 months would be like $\frac{10}{12} = 0.84$ . ∴ Every month Population will increase by a factor of 0.84%.

B.

In every 3 months: We have , 12 months in a year , in order to check for every 3 months $\frac{12}{3} = 4$ and Now, Population increase in every 3 months is $\frac{10}{4} = 2.5$ . ∴ Every 3 months Population will increase by a factor of 2.5%.

C.

In every 20 months: We have , 12 months in a year in which increase in population is 10% . Left number of moths for which we have to calculate factor of increase in population is 20-12 = 8. For 1 month , there is 0.84% increase in population ∴ For 8 months , 8 × 0.84 = 6.72 %.

So , increase in population in every 20 months is 10% + 6.72% = 16.72%.
