Answer:

  • 3 lbs of $6 coffee
  • 2 lbs of $4.50 coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of $6 coffee. Then the total cost of the mix is ...

  6x + 4.50(5 -x) = 27

  1.5x +22.50 = 27.00 . . . . . . simplify

  1.5x = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 22.50

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5; pounds of $6 coffee

  5 -x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . pounds of $4.50 coffee

3 pounds of $6 coffee and 2 pounds of $4.50 coffee were used in the mix.

Tell whether each scale reduces enlarges or preserves the size of an actual object
mr_godi [17]

Given:

1 m : 25 cm

8 in : 1 ft

12 in : 1 ft

 

First, we convert each variable given on the right:

 

1 m : 0.25 m (this means that 1 meter is made to represent 25 cm)

8 in : 12 feet (this means that 8 in is made to represent 1 feet)

12 in : 12 in (this means that 12 in is made to represent 1 feet)

 

<span>After converting the variables, we can now know if the ratios are enlargement, reduction or preservation. Therefore:

1 m : 25 cm = Enlarge</span>

<span>8 in : 12 feet = Reduce
12 in = 1 ft = Preserve</span>
