The length of side of garden are 76 feet and 49 feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram
Measure of one side = 76 feet
250 ft of fencing is needed to enclose the garden
Therefore, perimeter = 250
<em><u>The perimeter of parallelogram is given by:</u></em>
Perimeter = 2(a + b)
Where, a and b are the length of sides
Here, a = 76
b = ?
<em><u>Substituting in formula, we get</u></em>
250 = 2(76 + b)
250 = 152 + b
2b = 250 - 152
2b = 98
b = 49
Thus the length of side of garden is 49 feet
Hailey's mixing two different coffee blends. Represent them by x and y (in pounds). Then x + y = 5 lb, and x = 5 - y.How much puree Sum. beans are we talking about here?
0.20x +0.80y = 0.60(5 lb) Mult all 3 terms by 100 to get rid of factions:
20x + 80 y = 300. Substitute 5-y for x:
20(5-y) + 80y = 300 => 100-20y + 80y = 300 => 60y = 200, so y = 20/6 or 10/3 lb den x = 5-10/3, or x =5/3 lb
Use 5/3 lb of the first blend and 10/3 lb of the second blend to come up with 5 lb of a 60% blend.
