Answer:

134 children and 120 adult plates were served

Step-by-step explanation:

let the children mean be x

Let the adult meal be y

If fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue, then;

y = x - 14 .... 1

IF Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2.00 each with a total of 441 in amount then;

1.5x + 2y = 441 .... 2

Substitute 1 into 2;

1.5x + 2(x-14) = 441

1.5x+2x-28 = 441

3.5x = 441+28

3.5x = 469

x = 469/3.5

x = 134

Recall that y = x - 14

y = 134-14

y = 120

Hence 134 children and 120 adult plates were served

In a mixture of​ concrete, there are fourfour lb of cement mix for each pound of gravel. If the mixture contains a total of 2952
Anton [14]

Answer: there are 59059 lbs of gravel.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a mixture of​ concrete, there are four lbs of cement mix for each pound of gravel. This means that eight lbs of cement would be mixed for 2 pounds of gravel and 12 lbs of cement would be mixed for 3 pounds of gravel and 12. Therefore, the constant ratio of cement to gravel is 4:1

The total ratio is 4 + 1 = 5

If the mixture contains a total of 295295 lb of these two​ ingredients, then the number of pounds of gravel that are​ there is

1/5 × 295295 = 59059 lbs
