Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to study the fuel consumption of each car, i.e the amount of mile per gallon the cars will consume
Step one:
given data:
First car
distance covered= 41 1/2 = 41.5miles
amount of gallons= 1 1/4= 1.25gal
the miles per gallons= 41.5/1.25=33.2 miles per gallon
Second car
distance covered= 21 3/5= 21.6miles
amount of gallons=4/5= 0.8gal
the miles per gallons= 21.6/0.8=27 miles per gallon
1. Therefore the unit rate of
the first car = 33.2 miles per gallon
the second car=27 miles per gallon
2. the first car can travel a greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline
Answer:
X = 59
Step-by-step explanation:
2 × 59 = 118
18 + 18 + 59 + 59 = 154
