Question

Elliott has some yarn that she wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.2, point, 2 kilograms of yarn and each scarf uses 0.1, point, 1 kilograms of yarn. Elliott wants to use twice as much yarn for scarves as for hats, and she wants to make a total of 20 items. Let h be the number of hats Elliott makes and s be the number of scarves she makes. Which system of equations represents this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the number of hats Elliott makes and s be the number of scarves she makes.

Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn and each scarf uses 0.1 kilograms of yarn. Elliott wants to use twice as much yarn for scarves as for hats. This is expressed as

h = 2s

The total number of hats and scarves that she wants to make is 20. This is expressed as

h + s = 20

Therefore, the system of equations that represents this situation are

h = 2s

h + s = 20
