Pile of sand has weight of 90kg the sand is put into a small bag, medium bag and a large bag in the ratio 2:3:7

Mathematics

Tju [1.3M]3 years ago

Answer:

  • Sand in small bag = 2x = 2(7.5) = 15 kg
  • Sand in medium bag = 3x = 3(7.5) = 22.5 kg
  • Sand in a large bag = 7x = 7(7.5) = 52.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight = 90 kg

As 90 kg has been distributed in 3 bags in the ratio 2:3:7

Let the small bag contains = 2x

Let the medium bag contains = 3x

Let the big bag contains = 7x

so the equation becomes

2x+3x+7x = 90

12x = 90

x = 90/12

x = 7.5

Thus,

  • Sand in small bag = 2x = 2(7.5) = 15 kg
  • Sand in medium bag = 3x = 3(7.5) = 22.5 kg
  • Sand in a large bag = 7x = 7(7.5) = 52.5 kg

<u>SOLUTION CHECK</u>

15+22.5+52.5=90 kg

Which of the following systems has an infinite number of solutions?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

C. x+y = 1 and -x-y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if a system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, then the resulting equation from using the first step of the elimination method would have no variables and would be true.  

1) Let's try canceling out the equations in option C, x+y =-1 and -x-y =-1. Add the two equations together. (Work shown in attached picture.)

2) All of the terms cancel out with each other, leaving only a true statement of 0 = 0. Thus, option C is the answer.
