Short Answer: Tony 40 Cleo 30
Givens
T = Tony
C = Cleo
Equations
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30 (1)
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31 (2)
Adjustments
Multiply (1) by 3
Multiply (2) by 2
New Equations
3/2 T + C = 90 (1a)
<u>4/5 T + C = 62</u> (2a) Subtract (2a) from (1a)
(3/2 - 4/5)T = 28 the common multiple of 2 and 5 = 10.
(15/10 - 8/10)T = 28
7/10 T = 28 Multiply by 10
7T = 28*10
7T = 280 Divide by 7
T = 280/7 = 40
Put T = 40 into (1)
1/2 T + 1/3 C = 30
1/2 (40) + 1/3 C = 30
20 + 1/3 C = 30 Subtract 20 from both sides.
1/3 C = 30 - 20
1/3 C = 10 Multiply through by 3
C = 10 * 3
C = 30
Answer:
Cleo has 30 books.
Tony has 40 books.
Check
<em>Use Equation 2</em>
2/5 T + 1/2 C = 31
2/5*40 + 1/2 * 30 = ? 31
16 + 15 =?3`
31 = 31 They are equal.
Answer:
tan B = 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
tan theta = opp side/ adj side
tan B = 5/12
You get it by cross multiplication
10×9÷3=30 and if you want to check
30 over 9 =3.333
10 over 3 = 3.333
Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
9/10 and 2/3 can cross cancel
3 goes into 9, 3 times
2 goes into 10, 5 times
they both go into themselves once
our new fractions are 3/5 and 1/1 which equals 3/5
Answer:
250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.
Step-by-step explanation:
-1
If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function
P = 2a + 1.5b
subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.
Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.
You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.
