Step-by-step explanation:

If x = the amount of 12% and y = the amount of 20%, then x + y = 80

Since we need 80 grams of 15%, 80(.15) = 12.

We are given that .12x + .20y = 12.

We can solve the first equation for x or y. Let's do x.

x = 80 - y

.12(80 - y) + .20y = 12

9.6 - .12y + .20y = 12

.08y = 2.4

y = 30

x = 80 - 30 = 50

alex is running in a clockwise direction around a circular track with radius 60 yards. he runs for 20 minutes at a speed of 4 ya
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

  100.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

One circuit of the track is a distance of ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(60 yd) = 120π yd.

At Alex's running rate, the distance covered in 20 minutes is ...

  (4 yd/s)(20 min)(60 s/min) = 4800 yd

The number of circuits will be ...

  (4800 yd)/(120π yd/circuit) = 40/π circuits ≈ 12.7324 circuits

The last of Alex's laps is more than half-completed, so the shortest distance to his starting point is 13 -12.7324 = 0.2676 circuits,

That distance is (0.2676 circuits)×(120π yd/circuit) ≈ 100.88 yd

The shortest distance along the track to Alex's starting point is about 100.9 yards.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The exact distance is 120(13π-40) yards. The distance will vary according to your approximation for pi. If you use 3.14, this is about 98.4 yards.
