Answer:
The boys club sold 52 bags of hardwood mulch and 84 bags of pine bark mulch
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of bags of hardwood mulch sold
y ----> the number of bags of pine bark mulch sold
we know that
A local boys club sold 136 bags of mulch and made a total of $400
so
----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
Using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (52,84)
see the attached figure
therefore
The boys club sold 52 bags of hardwood mulch and 84 bags of pine bark mulch
Total number of pastries = 54 + 31 + 10 = 95
Number of croissants = 10
Probability of picking a croissant = 10/95
On simplifying, we get, <u>2/19</u>
Add the two and you should get 2 and 7/16
Answer:
Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats
Step-by-step explanation:
* The diamond ring weighed 5/8 carats
- To know who is right lets change the fraction 5/8 to a decimal number
∵ 5/8 means 5 ÷ 8
- 5 is smaller than 8 so we will multiply it by 10 and
insert decimal point in the quotient (answer of division)
∴ It will be 50 ÷ 8 = 6 and remainder 2/8 ⇒ 1/4
∴ The quotient = 0.6 and remainder 1/4
- 1 is smaller than 4 so we will multiply it by 10
∴ It will be 10 ÷ 4 = 2 and remainder 2/4 ⇒ 1/2
∴ The quotient = 0.62 and remainder 1/2
- 1 is smaller than 2 so we will multiply it by 10
∴ It will be 10 ÷ 2 = 5 without remainder
∴ The quotient = 0.625
* Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats
