Answer:

50 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Dan and june mix two kind of feed for pedigreed dogs

Feed A worth is $0.26 per pound

Feed B worth is $0.40 per pound

Let x represent the cheaper amount of feed and y the costlier type of feed

x+y= 70..........equation 1

0.26x + 0.40y= 0.30×70

0.26x + 0.40y= 21.........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y= 70

x= 70-y

Substitutes 70-y for x in equation 2

0.26(70-y) + 0.40y= 21

18.2-0.26y+0.40y= 21

18.2+0.14y= 21

0.14y= 21-18.2

0.14y= 2.8

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 0.14

0.14y/0.14= 2.8/0.14

y= 20

Substitute 20 for y in equation 1

x + y= 70

x + 20= 70

x= 70-20

x = 50

Hence Dan and june should use 50 pounds of the cheaper kind in the mix

△QRS is rotated about point P to △Q′R′S′ .
swat32

A rotation is a transformation that preserves figure shape, figure sizes, angles and lengths.

Therefore,

  • option A is false, because rotation preserves sizes;
  • option B is false, because rotation doesn't change the figure size;
  • option C is true, because rotation preserves figure angles;
  • option D is true, because rotation preserves lenghts of segments.

Answer: option C and D.

Maria and Katy have string Maria's is 6 cm longer that Katy's. When they put both of the strings together the total is 84 How lo
butalik [34]

Answer:

Maria's string is 45 cm long and Katy's string is 39 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the size of Maria's string X, and the size of Katy's string Y.

So, using the information from the problem, we can formulate a system of equations:

If Maria's string is 6 cm longer than Katy's, so:

X = Y + 6

If the strings together have 84 cm, so:

X + Y = 84

The first equation can be rewritten as X - Y = 6

Summing up both equation, we have that:

2X = 90

X = 45

Using X value in the first equation, we have that:

45 = Y + 6

Y = 39

So, Maria's string is 45 cm long and Katy's string is 39 cm long
