The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A grocer has 18 kg of black tea worth $3.5 per kg. She wants to mix it with green tea worth $2.6 per kg to sell the mixture at $2.9 per kg. How much of green tea should she use?

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of the green tea used be x kg.

From the question:

We have:

18 kg of black tea at $ 3.5 per kg. Thus total cost of black tea is 18 x 3.5 = $ 63

Cost of green tea is $2.6 per kg. Total cost of green tea is 2.6 * x = $2.6x

Total weight of the mixture is 18 + x kg.

Total cost of the mixture is = $2.9 (18 + x)

Thus,

Total cost of black tea + total cost of green tea = Total cost of the mixture

$63 + $2.6 x = $2.9 (18 + x)

$63 + $2.6x = $52.2 + $2.9x

63 – 52.2 = 0.3 x

10.8 = 0.3 x

x = 10.8/0.3

x = 36

36 kg of green tea is needed

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

x + 20 and 45 are vertically opposite angles and are congruent, so

x + 20 = 45 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

x = 25

Similarly 5y and 135 are vertically opposite angles and are congruent

5y = 135 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 27

(2)

x + 30 and 70 are vertically opposite angles and are congruent, then

x + 30 = 70 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

x = 40

Similarly y + 50 and 110 are vertically opposite and congruent , so

x + 50 = 110 ( subtract 50 from both sides )

x = 60

Conner and Jana are multiplying (3568)(39610). Conner's Work Jana's Work (3568)(39610) = 35 + 968 + 10 = 314618 (3568)(39610) =
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Neither of them has partitioned the values correctly. The answer to the sum 3568 × 39610 =141 328 480.

They tried the partition method but did not partitioned it correctly.

3568 = 3000+500+60+8

39610 = 30000+9000+600+10

Now multiply each value of 3568 with the values of 39610. Like:

3000 * 30000

3000 * 9000

3000 * 600

3000 * 8

and so on....

You have 0.54 meters of string to use for a homework project. You need to cut it into pieces that are 0.08 meters each. How many

you can get 6 whole pieces because .54 divided by .08 equals 6.75, but you have to have whole pieces, so 6. hope you get a good grade!
