First, let's make 1/2 and 3/7 have the same denominator to make it easier to see. We know that there Least Common Multiple (LCM) is 14.

1/2=7/14

3/7=6/14

Wait a second... 3/7 is less than 1/2. This means that Winnie's statement is false because it is impossible that after adding more flour, she actually has less flour than what she started with.

Hope this helps! :)

Heather has divided ​$5900 between two​ investments, one paying 9%, the other paying 4​%. if the return on her investment is ​$3
Leni [432]

Heather invested $2,200 at 9% and invested $3,700 at 4%

What represents the amount invested in each asset?

The amount invested at 9% can be represented as x whereas the balance invested at 4% is (5900-x), as a result, the interest earned on each is computed thus:

Interest 9%=x*9%

interest at 9%=0.09x

Interest at 4%=(5900-x)*4%

interest at 4%=236-0.04x

Total interest=0.09x+236-0.04x

total interest=0.05x+236

Total interest earned=346

346=0.05x+236

346-236=0.05x

110=0.05x

x=110/0.05

x=$2,200(invested at 9%)

amount invested at 4%=5900-2200

amount invested at 4%=$3,700
