Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ounces of

A = x

B = y

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 40% salt and Solution B is 55% salt. She wants to obtain 90 ounces of a mixture that is 45% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

Our system of equations is given as

x + y = 90.... Equation 1

x = 90 - y

40% × x + 55% × y = 45% × 90 ounces

0.4x + 0.55y = 40.5....Equation 2

We substitute 90 - y for x in Equation 2

Mr.V's trail mix uses 1/2cup of peanuts, 2 1/4 cups raisins, and he uses 2 times more sunflower seeds than raisins.How many tota
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The total number of cups is 9 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the total cups of trail mix that Mr V can make.

From the question, we are told that he used 1/2 cups of peanuts, 2 1/4 cups of raisins and 2 times more sunflower seeds than raisins.

So basically, we need to find the number of cups of sunflower seeds used.

The information we have here is that he used 2 times more of raisins;

Thus, the number of cups of sunflower would be 2 * 2 1/4 = 2 * 9/4 = 9/2. But practically is 9/2 , two times more than 2 1/4? NO!

What we should do here is to add 9/2 to 2 1/4. In that case, the difference between the two will be 2 times the cups of raisins;

So 9/2 + 9/4 = (18 + 9)/4 = 27/4

So the total number of cups of trail mix that can be made will be;

1/2 + 27/4 + 9/4 = (2 + 27 + 9)/4 = 38/4 = 19/2 = 9 1/2 cups

two pages that are back to back in a text have 201as the sum of their page numbers what are the page numbers.​
REY [17]

Answer:

Pages 100 and 101

Step-by-step explanation:

Round 201 to 200 (to make it easier).

Divide 200 by 2, because it is 2 pages.

You are left with 100.

100 is one of the pages, but because you rounded down 1 number, the other number must be 101, because the pages are back to back.

I hope this made sense, this is just how I figured it out. :)
