If we used “a” tons of grade A and “b” tons of grade B we would get a + b tons of mixture.
Converting to costs we get 36a + 24b = 33(a + b)
36a + 24b = 33a + 33b
36a - 33a = 33b - 24b
3a = 9b
a = 3b
This means the mixture contains 3 times as much of grade A than grade B
The ratio of grade A : grade B = 3 : 1

For example if we mixed 3 tons of A with 1 ton of B we would get 4 tons of mixture
The cost would be 3 x 36 + 1 x 24 = 108 + 24 = $132 for 4 tons = $33 per ton

Number 2 and please provide a step by step explanation!!!!

The number of students in 5th grade is 60, since 24% of 250 is 60.

Since 90 is 38% if 250, 38 is going to be the percent of all students in sixth grade.

20% of 250 is 50, so the percent of all students in seventh grade is 50.

Finally, 45 is 18% of 250, so 18 percent of all students are in eight grade.

Hope this helped :)

Please help show work<br><br> 3√(125) -√(16) = ?
Anna007 [38]
First, simplify the radicals
√125=√(5*5*5)=(√5*5)(√5)=5√5
so 3√125=3*5√5=15√5

and √16=4
so
15√(5)-4 is the simplified version
