Answer:

<u>The distribution of each one of the 14 planters is:</u>

<u>4 pansies </u>

<u>3 tulips </u>

<u>2 marigolds </u>

<u>All of the flowers were used by Ramona.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find the number of planters and how many of each flower type will be in each planter, using the Hamilton method

Number of planters = 14

We calculate this using Greatest Common Divisor between 56, 42 and 28.

Total number of flowers = 126 ( 56 pansies, 42 tulips, and 28 marigolds)

Standard divisor = 14 (Number of planters)

Now, we can apportion the flowers in in Standard quotas, this way:

56 pansies = 56/14 = 4

42 tulips = 42/14 = 3

28 marigolds = 28/14 = 2

Like there are not decimals, we can use this quotas as the number of flowers distributed in each planter.

<u>The distribution of each one of the 14 planters is:</u>

<u>4 pansies </u>

<u>3 tulips </u>

<u>2 marigolds </u>

<u>All of the flowers were used by Ramona.</u>

X+2y=8<br>2x-y=1<br>mathe question​
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

x = 2 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

x+2y = 8 -----equation (i)

2x-y = 1 -----equation (ii)

Now,

x+2y = 8

or, x = 8-2y ------equation (iii)

Again,

2x-y = 1

or, 2x = 1+y

or, 2x-1 = y

Putting the value of 'x' from equation (iii)

or, 2(8-2y)-1 = y

or, 16-4y-1 = y

or, 16-1 = y+4y

or, 15 = 5y

or, y = 15/5

or, y = 3

Putting the value of 'y' in equation (iii)

x = 8-2y

or, x = 8-(2×3)

or, x = 8-6

or, x = 2

Therefore, x = 2 and y = 3.
