Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.

20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)

(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)

(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)

(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)

20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6 

So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds

At a self-service gas station, 40% of customers pump regular gas, 35% pump midgrade, and 25% pump premium gas. Of those who pump
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

0.150,0.595

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at a self-service gas station, 40% of customers pump regular gas, 35% pump midgrade, and 25% pump premium gas. Of those who pump regular, 30% pay at least $30. Of those who pump midgrade, 50% pay at least $30. And of those who pump premium, 60% pay at least $30.

               Regular gas          Midgrade         Premium gas      Total

Percent      40                            35                     25                   100

atleast 30   30%                         50%                 60%

a) The   probability that the next customer pumps premium gas and pays at least $30

=0.25*0.60\\=0.150

b)        the probability that the next customer pays at least $30

= P(regular and pays atleast 30%)+P(premium and pays atleast 30%)+P(midgrade and       pays atleast 30%)

=0.40*0.30+0.35*0.50+0.25*0.60\\=0.12+0.175+0.30\\=0.595

Solve for x: 1/8-2/×=5<br><br>someone pls help me ASAP
cricket20 [7]
Begin by subtracting 1/8 from both sides to get - \frac{2}{x} =5- \frac{1}{8} and get a common denominator of 8 on the right:- \frac{2}{x} = \frac{40}{8} - \frac{1}{8}.  Now simplify and cross-multiply: 39x = -16 andx = -16/39
