Answer:
12 Pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion of the secret blend is 90/27. When there is only 40 pounds of gazebo, your proportion looks like this: 40/X. X being pounds of Kona. When you are to simplify 90/27 you're left with 10/3. Cross multiply 10/3 and 40/X to and simply to get 10x = 120, leaving you with 12 as your final answer. Hope this explanation helps.
-0.24 should be the answer. idk i might be wrong. im not to great at math just i just used a calculator
Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
X = number of singles matches
y = number of doubles mnathes
so we have the equation x + y = 13.......(1)
also
2x + 4y = 38 ...........(2)
(1) and (2) are the required equations
b) Find how many maches are in progress by solivng the above equations:-
x + y = 13 multiply this by -2:-
-2x - 2y = -26
2x + 4y = 38 Adding to removes the terms in x:-
2y = 12
y = 6
so x = 13-6 = 7
So the answer is 6 double matches and 7 singles are in progress.
