Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions. The multiple choice questions x are worth 5 points and the

hram777 [196]

x + y = 15 and 5x + 10y = 100 are the system of equations that represent this situation

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of multiple choice questions

Let "y" be the number of short answer questions

Worth of 1 multiple choice questions = 5 points

Worth of 1 short answer question = 10 points

Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions

Therefore,

number of multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions = 15

x + y = 15 -------- eqn 1

The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of multiple choice questions x Worth of 1 multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions x Worth of 1 short answer question = 100

$x \times 5 + y \times 10=100$

5x + 10y = 100 ------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 are the system of equations that represent this situation

A farmer ordered 3/4 ton of soil. He wants to divide it evenly into 8 flower beds. How much will he have for each bed?

nasty-shy [4]

We know that
Total soil--------> 3/4 ton
divide it by 8
(3/4)/8----> 3/(4*8)----> 3/32 ton----> 0.09375 ton----> multiply by 1000---> 93.75 kg

the answer is
93.75 kg for each bed

Rob needs to mix 4.5 liters of liquid fruit punch concentrate with 0.5

Dmitriy789 [7]

4.5 litres of fruit punch with 0.5 litres of water.
13.5 /4.5 = 3. Multiply 0.5 by 3 to get 1.5 litres of water. Therefore, 13.5 litres of fruit punch concentrate needs 1.5 litres of water. 13.5 + 1.5 = 15 litres of fruit punch in total.

nekit [7.7K]

There are 14 positions. There are 266 choices for the first juror, 265 for the second, 264 for the third, etc. 266*265*264*...*252=5.93893009829e+33, or about 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 complete juries. Hope this helps!
