Answer:
The amount of nuts is 16 kg and cereal mixture is 44 kg to obtain 60 kg of a mix that will sell for $1.40 per kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x=nuts at $2.50 per kg
y=cereal at $1 per kg
x+y=60 kg (1)
2.50x+y=1.40(60) (2)
From (1)
x=60-y
Substitute x=60-y into (2)
2.50x+y=1.40(60)
2.50(60-y)+y=84
150-2.5y+y=84
-1.5y=84-150
-1.5y=-66
Divide both sides by -1.5
y=44 kg
Substitute y=44 into (1)
x+y=60
x+44=60
x=60-44
=16
x=16 kg
Answer:
b = 10
Explanation:
Lets start by combining like terms (b):
3/2b + 1/5b
to combine these fractions you must get them to both have the same denominator:
3/2 · 5/5 = 15/10 multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator
1/5 · 2/2 = 2/10 multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator
15/10 + 2/10 = 17/10
17/10b = 17
Now we want to get the b to be by itself, so lets first multiply both sides by 10:
17b = 170
Now lets divide both sides by 17:
b = 10
