Sarah would like to make a 6 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of a mixture that is 80%

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

a. The system of equations that models the situation is....

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40$

b. The solution to the system: x = 2 and y = 4

The amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the amount of 80/20 mixture is $x$ pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is $y$ pounds.

So, the amount of peanuts in 80/20 mixture $= 0.80x$ pound and the amount of almonds in 80/20 mixture $=0.20x$ pound.

And the amount of peanuts in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound and the amount of almonds in 50/50 mixture $=0.50y$ pound.

Now, Sarah would like to make a 6 pounds nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

So, the amount of peanuts in that mixture $=(6\times 0.60)=3.60$ pounds

and the amount of almonds in that mixture $=(6 \times 0.40)= 2.40$ pounds.

So, the system of equations will be.........

$0.80x+0.50y=3.60 ...................(1)\\\\ 0.20x+0.50y=2.40...................(2)$

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we will get.....

$(0.80x+0.50y)-(0.20x+0.50y)=3.60-2.40\\ \\ 0.60x=1.20\\ \\ x= \frac{1.20}{0.60}=2$

Now, plugging this $x=2$ into equation (1), we will get......

$0.80(2)+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 1.60+0.50y=3.60\\ \\ 0.50y=3.60-1.60=2\\ \\ y=\frac{2}{0.50}=4$

So, the amount of 80/20 mixture is 2 pounds and the amount of 50/50 mixture is 4 pounds.

Sample space

jasenka [17]

Considering it's concept, it is found that the number of outcomes in the sample space is of 9.

<h3>What is the sample space of an experiment?</h3>

The sample space is the set that contains all possible outcomes for an experiment.

In this problem, there are 2 trials, each with 3 possible outcomes(red, blue or green), hence the number of possible outcomes is given by:

N = 3² = 9.

Find the co-ordinates of the point of trisection of the line joining the points A(1,8) and B(4,2).

Licemer1 [7]

coordinates of the point are (2,6) and (3,4)

Answer:

Solution given:

let the given point be A(1,8) and B(4,2).

P and Q are the two points on AB such that

AP=PQ=QB=k

now

comparing AP and PB

AP=k

PB=2k

ratio of AP and PB = $\frac{1k}{2k}$ = ratio 1:2

now

finding p

for this

$(m_1,m_2)=(1,2)$

For AB

$(x_1,y_1)=(1,8)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(4,2)$

now by using division formula

$(x,y)=(\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m2},\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m2})$

$=(\frac{1*4+2*1}{1+2},\frac{1*2+2*8}{1+2})=(2,6)$

similarly

Q divides AB

Ratio of AQ and QB = $\frac{2k}{1k}$ = ratio 2:1

$(x_1,y_1)=(1,8)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(4,2)$

$(m_1,m_2)=(2,1)$

by using division formula

$(a,b)=(\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m2},\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m2})$

$=(\frac{2*4+1*1}{2+1},\frac{2*2+1*8}{2+1})=(3,4)$
