S=weight of soybean protein, C=weight of cornmeal protein.
Total weight of each protein is 0.18S+0.19C=0.17×360=61.2 lb.
Total weight of meal is S+C=360 lb. So S=360-C.
Therefore 0.18(360-C)+0.19C=61.2, 64.8-0.18C+0.19C=61.2, 0.01C=-3.6.
Clearly we would get a negative value for C. When you look at the question you will realise that there is a larger percentage of protein in the ingredients than there is in the mixture. The expected amount of protein in the mixture should be between 18% and 19%. Please check your figures.
Answer:
* Lucy spent £289.2 on tiles *
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the tiles are present in a 13 to 2 ratio ( 13 : 2 ) so if there are 16 blue tiles that she buys, the number of red tiles bought should be represented the following -
= 
... now this is only assuming that the 13 : 2 ratio is meant by white : blue tiles. Let's solve through cross - multiplication,
13 
16 = 2
,
208 = 2,
= 104 white tiles
So if there are 104 white tiles, and 16 blue tiles, we can determine the total amount Lucy spent on tiles by associating the cost to the type of tile,
£2.80 16 = £44.8,
£2.35 104 = £244.4,
Total Amount Lucy Spent on Tiles = £44.8 + £244.4 = £289.2
Answer: 1,612 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex has a total of 806 dinosaurs. He also has twice as many eggs as he does dinosaurs.
The number of eggs is therefore:
= Number of dinosaurs * 2
= 806 * 2
= 1,612 eggs
