Answer:

Option A is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is:

The profit on the sandwiches is $2 for chicken salad and $3 for roast beef.

The amount of bread available is enough for 30 sandwiches.

If chicken salad sandwiches take 3 minutes to prepare and roast beef sandwiches take 5 minutes.

Let x represent the roast beef sandwiches.

Let y represent the chicken salad sandwiches.

The system of equations becomes:

x+y=30 or x=30-y   ..... (1)

5x+3y=120     ....(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

5(30-y)+3y=120

150-5y+3y=120

150-2y=120

150-120=2y

2y=30

y = 15

As x=30-y so, x=30-15

x = 15

Now we will see the profit;

P = (3\times15)+ (2\times15)=45+30=75 dollars

Therefore, 15 roast beef sandwiches and 15 chicken salad sandwiches should be prepared to maximize the profit.

 Hence, the answer is option A.

there are 30 flowers in a vase 2.5 of flowers are roses. 1/6 of the flowers are daisies. the rest of the flowers are carnations.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

13 carnations

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant 2/5 because 2.5 would mean there are more roses in the vase than there are flowers in the vase, heres how to solve this.

Understanding

Each fraction is referring to "flowers" not "remaining flowers" and as such each time we will be comparing to the total.

2/5 of the total flowers are roses. This is written in words as for every 5 flowers two are roses, which means we will multiply 2 by how many sets of five we have in 30 flowers.

(30/5) x 2 =

(6) x 2 = 12 roses

Though with fractions its written as 30/1*2/5 which is the same as (30 x 2)/5

60/5 = 12 roses

Following this logic for every 6 flowers one is a daisy.

30/1 * 1/6 = (30 x 1)/6 = 30/6 = 5 daisies

Because the rest are carnations we want to subtract the amount of daisies and roses from the total amount of flowers to find the remaining flowers.

30 - 5 - 12 = 13 carnations

Hope this helps,

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!
frutty [35]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a way to turn this into a simple equation, but I will not go through that.


So the conditions are saying the first term is 40 and for every term after that you multiply the last by .5.  So to get the fifth you would multiply the fourth by .5.


We want the third, so we need to multiply the second by .5.  To get the second we multiply the first by .5.  since the first is 40, 40*.5=20.  Then just repeat.
