Answer: IM pretty sure your correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance that a is to b is b-a=17-2=15.
The line segment from a=2 to b=17 has length 15.
We need to know what is 3/5 of 15.
3/5 of 15 means what is 3/5 times 15?
(3/5)(15)=3(3)=9
So this means we are looking to make a line segment that is 9 units from 2 which is 2 to 11.
So 11 is 3/5 the way from a=2 to b=17.
Let's check from 2 to 11 that is a length of 9 and from 2 to 17 that is a length of 15.
Is 9/15 equal to 3/5?
Yes, 9/15 can be reduced to 3/5.
The angle is a complementary angle so both angles add up to 90 degrees
Therefore set your equation equal to 90 to find angle of x
53+x=90
Subtract 53 from both sides
X= 37 degrees
Given parameters:
Cost per pound of Arabica coffee = $28 per pound
Cost of Robusta coffee = $8.75
Given number of pounds of Robusta Coffee = 3 pounds
Total cost of blend per pound = $15.50
Unknown:
Number of pounds of Arabica coffee = ?
Solution:
Let the number of pounds of Arabica coffee = A;
We have to interpret this problem algebraically and solve;
28A + 8.75(3) = 15.5(A + 3)
Now solve the expression above for A;
28A + 26.25 = 15.5A + 46.5
28A - 15.5A = 46.5 - 26.25
12.5A = 20.25
A = 1.62
Number of pounds of Arabica Coffee is 1.62 pound
