Answer:

60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pounds of grass seeds A

The number of pounds of grass seed B = 140 pounds

Total pounds of the resulting mixture = (140 + x) pounds

Rye grass A = 60% = 0.6

Rye grass B = 80% = 0.8

Total percent of mixture formed = 74% = 0.74

Hence, we have the equation:

0.6x + 0.8 × 140 = 0.74 ( 140 + x)

0.6x + 112 = 103.6 + 0.74x

Collect like terms

112 - 103.6 = 0.74x - 0.6x

8.4 = 0.14x

x = 60 pounds

Therefore, the quantity of the 60% mixture used is 60 pounds.

Initially, the ratio of Ed’s toy cars to Pete’s toy cars was 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal numb
Burka [1]
So here is the answer. Initially, Ed's toy cars compared to Pete's toy cars was 5:2. So for every 5 cars that Ed has, Pete has 2. Now that Ed gave 30 cars to Pete. So here it goes. The total number of ratio units is 5+2=7, so each will have an equal number if they both have 3.5 ratio units. That is, if Ed transfers to Pete 1.5 ratio units, their car counts will be equal. Thus 1.5 ratio units = 30 cars, or 1 ratio unit = 20 cars. Therefore, this makes <span> 7*20 cars = 140 cars.
