I think the answer could be 10 or even 12
Let
x = number of apples.
y = number of oranges.
we have to write the following equation to represent the problem:
4x + 6y = 15
To satisfy the equation, Jon must have used
x = 2.25
y = 1
Substituting
4 (2.25) +6 (1) = 15
9 + 6 = 15
answer
Jhon used 2.25kg of apple and 1kg of orange to make the salad.
Note: Since the problem does not have any other restrictions, there may be several apple and orange combinations that cost $ 15 per salad.
Answer: evaluate it is 52
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
The answer is 240.5 hope you get the question
