Answer:

He can buy 160 crates of apples and 40 crates of pears. (160, 40).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

25x+25y=5000 (1)

6x+5.50y=1180 (2), where:

x is the number of crates of apples

y is the number of crates of pears

First, you can solve for x in (1):

25x=5000-25y

x=(5000/25)-(25y/25)

x=200-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

6(200-y)+5.50y=1180

1200-6y+5.50y=1180

1200-1180=6y-5.50y

20=0.5y

y=20/0.5

y=40

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find the value of x:

x=200-y

x=200-40

x=160

According to this, the answer is that he can buy 160 crates of apples and 40 crates of pears. (160, 40).

45 miles per hour into feet per second please show work I am hopless :(
Pavel [41]
There are 5280 feet in a mile
45 * 5280 = 237600
there are 3600 seconds in an hour (60 minutes time 60 seconds)
so we have 237600 feet in 3600 seconds
237600 / 3600 = 66 feet per second.
