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

Ines has saved $5. She doubles the amount she saves each week. Does the function have a constant difference or a constant ratio?
salantis [7]

Answer:

The function have a constant ratio

No, it does not represent an exponential function.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Ines has saved $5. She doubles the amount she saves each week.

⇒ In first week she saved = $5

   In second week she saved = 2×$5 = $10

   In third week she saved = 2×$10 = 20

  In fourth week she saved = 2×$20 = 40

and so on..

∴ we get the series

5, 10, 20, 40 ,.......

If the series is given as a, b, c, d, ..... , then

The common difference is defined as d = b-a = c-b

The common ration is defined as r = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{c}{b}

Here, in the given question

The series is - 5, 10, 20, 40

This has no common difference , d =   10 - 5 (= 5 )≠ 20 - 10 (= 10)

As 5 ≠ 10

So the function does not define common difference .

Now,

This has common ratio , r =  \frac{10}{5} (=2) = \frac{20}{10}(=2)

As 2 = 2

So, the function represent common ratio

Now,

The function does not represent an exponential function because it is increased by common ratio.

What does $1.99 $1.99; × 10 =
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

I'm going to assume that the question was $1.99 × 10 because $1.99 $1.99; × 10 is not possible, so if that was the question, the answer would simply be false. The answer I got for $1.99 × 10 was 19.9

Answer: 19.9
