Let the weight of soymeal be s, and let the weight of cornmeal be c.
You need a total of 280 lb, so that gives us one equation.
s + c = 280
Now we use the protein to write another equation.
The protein in s lb of soymeal is 0.14s.
The protein in c lb of cornmeal is 0.07c.
The protein in 280 lb of 0.09% protein mix is 0.09(280).
This gives us a second equation.
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Now we solve the two equations as a system of equations.
s + c = 280
0.14s + 0.07c = 0.09(280)
Solve the first equation for s and plug in tot eh second equation.
s = 280 - c
0.14(280 - c) + 0.07c = 25.2
39.2 - 0.14c + 0.07c = 25.2
-0.07c = -14
c = 200
Now we substitute c = 200 in the first equation to find s.
s + 200 = 280
s = 80
Answer: 200 lb of soymeal and 80 lb of cornmeal
So you can do 1/2 and then divide it by 1/8.
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.
So;
1/2 / 1/8 = 1/2•8/1
1/2• 8 = 8/2
8/2= 4
So he can fill 4 mugs!!!

12 girls out of 19, how many out of 76
12 - x
19 - 76
Cross product:
19x= 1152
/19. /19
x= ~61
There are (around) 61 girls
Answer: X=13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply Both sides by 12
8x-10=5x+3
2. Collect the like terms, calculate the sum
8x-5x=3+10
3.Divide both sides by 3
3x=13
Answer X=13/3
Alternative Form,
X= 4 1/3, X=4.3
