Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You mix the Gazebo blen

d with the Mexican Shade Grown blend, but always in the same proportion. Yesterday, you mixed 90 pounds of the Gazebo blend with 27 pounds of the Mexican Shade Grown blend. Today, there is 60 pounds of the Gazebo coffee left in stock. How many pounds of the Mexican Shade Grown coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend?

Answer:

18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a ratio problem and we are given three values and one variable x (pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee needed) we can use the Rule of Three to solve this problem. In this rule we simply multiply the diagonal available values and divide by the third value to get the value of the variable, like so...

90lbs Gazebo  <=====>   27lbs Mexican Blend

60lbs Gazebo  <=====>   x lbs Mexican Blend

(60 * 27) / 90 = x

1620 / 90 = x

18 lbs = x

We need 18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee blend to mix with the 60lbs of Gazebo blend

Classify the object with the given side lengths as acute, obtuse, right, or not a triangle.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

We have to first see that the given lengths makes a triangle or not by using a+b > c in which a,b and c are

length of sides of a triangle lets check out

16 + 21 = 37 > 28

21 + 28 = 49 > 16

16+ 28 = 44 > 21

As because the statement fits correct in the lengths given so its a triangle

So we can say that the triangle is scalene by means of measurements

but cant be a right angle as by taking the pythagorean triplet

= a^2 + b ^ 2 = c^2

lets see if a=16, b = 21 and c = 28

So a^2 + b^2

= 256 + 441

= 697

but c^2

= 28^2 = 784

As 441 =/= 784

So The triangle lengths cant be a right angled triangle

So 1/2 of possibility is the traingle acute and 1/2 of the possibilty that the triangle is obtuse

Now you can find the correct triangle on the basis of acute or obtuse angle by drawing with given length of sides of triangle

Hope it helps

Answer:

  51

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule gives the sequence ...

  75, 69, 63, 57, 51, 45, ...

The 5th number in the sequence is 51.

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The equation for the general term of an arithmetic sequence is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1) . . . . . for first term a1 and common difference d

Your sequence has first term 75 and common difference -6, so the equation is ...

  an = 75 -6(n -1)

Then for n=5, the term is ...

  a5 = 75 -6(5 -4) = 75 -24 = 51

The 5th term is 51.
