Answer:</h3>
System
Solution
- p = m = 5 — 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
(a) Generally, the equations of interest are one that models the total amount of mixture, and one that models the amount of one of the constituents (or the ratio of constituents). Here, there are two constituents and we are given the desired ratio, so three different equations are possible describing the constituents of the mix.
For the total amount of mix:
... p + m = 10
For the quantity of peanuts in the mix:
... p + 0.2m = 0.6·10
For the quantity of almonds in the mix:
... 0.8m = 0.4·10
For the ratio of peanuts to almonds:
... (p +0.2m)/(0.8m) = 0.60/0.40
Any two (2) of these four (4) equations will serve as a system of equations that can be used to solve for the desired quantities. I like the third one because it is a "one-step" equation.
So, your system of equations could be ...
___
(b) Dividing the second equation by 0.8 gives
... m = 5
Using the first equation to find p, we have ...
... p + 5 = 10
... p = 5
5 lb of peanuts and 5 lb of mixture are required.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Part a .............> x = 11
Part b .............> k = 57.2
Part c .............> y = 9.2
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The three problems deal with inverse variation between two variables
An inverse variation relation between two variables means that when one of the variables increases, the other will decrease (and vice versa)
<u>Mathematically, an inverse variation relation is represented as follows:</u>

where x and y are the two variables and k is the constant of variation
<u><em>Now, let's check the givens:</em></u>
<u>Part a:</u>
We are given that y = 3 and k = 33
<u>Substitute in the original relation and solve for x as follows:</u>

<u>Part b:</u>
We are given that y = 11 and x = 5.2
<u>Substitute in the original relation and solve for k as follows:</u>

<u>Part c:</u>
We are given that x=7.8 and k=72
<u>Substitute in the original relation and solve for y as follows:</u>
to the nearest tenth

.0375 times 100= 37.5
Answer:
x = number of nickels = 127
y = number of dimes = 156
z = number of quarters = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of nickels
y = number of dimes
z = number of quarters
Total worth of the coins = $41.45
Total number of coins = 361
x + y + z = 361 (1)
dime = $0.1,
nickel = $0.05
quarter = $0.25
0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 41.45 (2)
twice as many dimes as quarters.
y = 2z
Substitute y = 2z into (1) and (2)
x + 2z + z = 361
0.05x + 0.1(2z) + 0.25z = 41.45
x + 3z = 361
0.05x + 0.2z + 0.25z = 41.45
x + 3z = 361 (3)
0.05x + 0.45z = 41.45 (4)
Multiply (4) by 20
x + 3z = 361 (3)
x + 9z = 829 (5)
Subtract (3) from (5)
9z - 3z = 829 - 361
6z = 468
Divide both sides by 6
z = 468 / 6
= 78
z= 78
Recall,
y = 2z
= 2(78)
= 156
y = 156
Substitute the value of y and z into
x + y + z = 361
x + 156 + 78 = 361
x + 234 = 361
x = 361 - 234
= 127
x= 127
x = number of nickels = 127
y = number of dimes = 156
z = number of quarters = 78
