Systems of Linear Equations with Infinitely Many Solutions
The exact form will be 3/2 (if you reduce, how many times will one go into three? three times, two will go into 4 twice so that is one way to get the answer.) Decimal form is 1.5 and the mixed number form will be one and one half (or 1 1/2)
Answer:
<em>The new mixture is 49% peanuts.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The first batch of 9 lb of mixed nuts contains 55% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:
9*55/100=4.95 lb
The second batch of 6 lb of mixed nuts contains 40% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:
6*40/100=2.4 lb
The total quantity of peanut in the mix is
4.95 lb + 2.4 lb =7.35 lb
There are 9 lb + 6 lb = 15 lb of mix. Thus, the percent of peanut in the mix is:
7.35 / 15 * 100 = 49%
The new mixture is 49% peanuts.
Percentage = ( number used / total number) x 100
32/90 = 0.3555
0.3555 x 100 = 35.56%
Rounded to nearest tenth = 35.6%
