Answer:

187.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of sand = 2/5

Fraction of clay = 2/5

Fraction of peat = 1/5

Pounds of sand = 75

The total pounds of soil required to make Correct mixture : let that be x

Hence,

Using the sand Fraction and pounds which we know :

2/5 of x = 75

2x / 5 = 75

Cross multiply :

2x = 75 * 5

2x = 375

x = 375 / 2

x = 187.5

Required pond of sand =187.5 pounds

What is the value of a in the equation 3a + b = 54, when b = 9?
nasty-shy [4]
In order to do this you have to substitute b with 9 and get 3a+9=54, now subtract 9 from both sides to leave a by itself and get 3a=45, now divide 3 in both sides to leave a by itself and get a=15

Hope this helps
