2,356 students would say corn is their favorite because if 62 out of 100 loved corn and there are 3,800 students you can multiply 62 by 38 and get your answer.
1/3 times 6/8
1/3 times 3/4
So, the answer is 3/12
Simplify: 1/4
Answer:
50 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Dan and june mix two kind of feed for pedigreed dogs
Feed A worth is $0.26 per pound
Feed B worth is $0.40 per pound
Let x represent the cheaper amount of feed and y the costlier type of feed
x+y= 70..........equation 1
0.26x + 0.40y= 0.30×70
0.26x + 0.40y= 21.........equation 2
From equation 1
x + y= 70
x= 70-y
Substitutes 70-y for x in equation 2
0.26(70-y) + 0.40y= 21
18.2-0.26y+0.40y= 21
18.2+0.14y= 21
0.14y= 21-18.2
0.14y= 2.8
Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 0.14
0.14y/0.14= 2.8/0.14
y= 20
Substitute 20 for y in equation 1
x + y= 70
x + 20= 70
x= 70-20
x = 50
Hence Dan and june should use 50 pounds of the cheaper kind in the mix
