Answer:
150.833... or 150 and 5/6 crates
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create an equation to solve this.
Let x represent the number of 120 kilogram crates that can be loaded into the chipping container.
120x (weight of the crates) + 5900 (weight already in the container) = 24000 (max weight in the container)
We'll start by subtracting 5900 from both sides to try to isolate x, the number of containers we still need to meet 24000 kilograms.
120x = 18100
Now we just have to isolate x by dividing by 120.
x = 150.83333333333333333333333333333
If you want to use a mixed fraction form for this solution since the 3's keep repeating, it would be 150 and 5/6 crates.
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is the second choice because since it is raining then, the conditional statement was false.
Hailey's mixing two different coffee blends. Represent them by x and y (in pounds). Then x + y = 5 lb, and x = 5 - y.How much puree Sum. beans are we talking about here?
0.20x +0.80y = 0.60(5 lb) Mult all 3 terms by 100 to get rid of factions:
20x + 80 y = 300. Substitute 5-y for x:
20(5-y) + 80y = 300 => 100-20y + 80y = 300 => 60y = 200, so y = 20/6 or 10/3 lb den x = 5-10/3, or x =5/3 lb
Use 5/3 lb of the first blend and 10/3 lb of the second blend to come up with 5 lb of a 60% blend.
