10. Three kinds of teas are worth $4.60 per pound, $5.75 per pound, and $6.50 per pound. They are to be
mixed together to get 20 pounds of tea worth $5.25 per pound. The amount of $4.60 tea used is to be equal
to the amount of the other two teas combined. How many pounds of each tea should be used?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of the $4.60/lb tea that should be used in the mixture is 10 lb

The mass of the $5.75/lb tea that should be used in the mixture is 8 lb

The mass of the $6.50/lb tea that should be used in the mixture is 2 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the question are;

The worth of the three teas are

Tea A = $4.60/lb

Tea B = $5.75/lb

Tea C = $6.50/lb

The mass of the mixture of the three teas = 20 lb

The worth of the mixture of the three teas = $5.25 per pound = $5.25/lb

The amount of the $4.60 in the mixture = The sum of the amount of the other two teas

Therefore, given that the mass of the mixture = 20 lb, we have in the mixture;

The mass of tea A + The mass of Tea B + The mass of Tea C = 20 lb

The mass of tea A = The mass of Tea B + The mass of Tea C

Therefore;

The mass of tea A + The mass of tea A = 20 lb

2 × The mass of tea A in the mixture = 20 lb

The mass of tea A in the mixture = 20 lb/2 = 10 lb

The mass of tea A in the mixture = 10 lb

The mass of Tea B + The mass of Tea C = The mass of tea A = 10 lb

The mass of Tea B + The mass of Tea C = 10 lb

The mass of Tea B  = 10 lb - The mass of Tea C

Where the mass of Tea C in the mixture = x, we have;

The mass of Tea B in the mixture = 10 lb - x

The cost of the 10 lb of tea A = 10 × $4.60 = $46.0

The worth of the tea mixture = 20 × $5.25 = $105

The worth of the remaining 10 lb of the mixture comprising of tea A and tea B is given as follows;

The worth of Tea B + The worth of Tea C in the mixture = $105.00 - $46.00 = $59.00

Therefore, we have;

x lb × $6.50/lb + (10 - x) lb × $5.75/lb = $59.00

x × $6.50 - x × $5.75 + $57.50 = $59.00

x × $0.75 = $59.00 -  $57.50 = $1.50

x =  $1.50/$0.75 = 2 lb

∴ The mass of Tea C in the mixture = 2 lb

The mass of Tea B in the mixture = 10 lb - x = 10 lb - 2 lb = 8 lb

The mass of Tea B in the mixture = 8 lb

Therefore, since we have;

Tea A = $4.60/lb

Tea B = $5.75/lb

Tea C = $6.50/lb

The mass of tea A in the mixture = 10 lb

The mass of tea B in the mixture = 8 lb

The mass of tea C in the mixture = 2 lb, we find;

The mass of the $4.60/lb tea that should be used in the mixture = 10 lb

The mass of the $5.75/lb tea that should be used in the mixture = 8 lb

The mass of the $6.50/lb tea that should be used in the mixture = 2 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]\frac{125}{y}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 125 pencils and you have [tex]y[/tex] amount of containers, then you want to get an equal number of pencils in each container.

What operation do we know of that finds an equal distribution across a certain number of groups? Division! That can help us equally split a number into how many parts we need.

Division can be represented in two ways: with a division sign [tex]\div[/tex] or as a fraction [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex].

You'll find the that the division sign will be used a lot less during Algebra and you'll mainly stick to fractions.

If we are dividing 125 into [tex]y[/tex] groups, then our fraction is [tex]\frac{125}{y}[/tex].

Which of the following ratios are equivalent to 60%?
Check all that apply.
O A. 4:6
OB. 10:20
O C. 12:36
O D. 3:5
O E. 15:25

Answers

Answer:

D. 3:5 and E. 15:25

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is 60%, it means that the ratio is 6:10 (60/100).

Because both 6 and 10 are divisible by 2, we can then simplify the ratio to 3:5.

Therefore it is D. 3:5

We can then multiply both sides by 5 which will give us 15:25, so E is also correct.

The others of not correct because they are not equivalent to the ratio 3:5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we need to use algebraic properties.

We notice that each term on teh right side contains an x. We can factor out an x.

y=12x-5cx                      [factor out x]

y=x(12-5c)                      [divide both sides by 12-5c]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think about how the graph of this would look.

We know that y will be [tex]x^2[/tex], meaning that if x was 0, y would be 0.

If x was 1, y would be 1

If x was 2, y would be 4.

Now let's think about negative numbers.

If x was -1, y would be 1 (since [tex]-1^2 = 1[/tex]

If x was -2, y would be 4 (since [tex]-2^2 = 4[/tex]).

This means that our graph would turn at the point where x and y are equal (excluding 1,1)

This is 0,0.

So 0,0 is the turning point of this graph.

ABC and QRS are complementary angles. ABC:41 so what is QRS

Answers

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles always add up to 90 degrees, so make and equation. First, say that angle ABC and angle QRS add up to ninety degrees. Substitute the values to get 41 degrees plus angle QRS equals 90 degrees, and once you subtract 41 from both sides, you get angle QRS equals 49 degrees.

Hope this helps. :)

The QRS is 49

Important information:ABC and QRS are complementary angles. ABC:41

calculation:

We know that

The complementary angles are those whose sum is 90 degrees

So,

x + 41 = 90

x = 49

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following lengths AB = 64, AM = 4x + 4 and BM= 6x-10, If M lies on the line AB  then AM+MB = AB (addition property)

Substituting the given parameters into the addition property above;

AM+MB = AB

4x + 4 + 6x - 10 = 64

combine like terms

4x+6x = 64+10-4

10x = 74-4

10x = 70

Divide both sides by 10

x = 70/10

x = 7

Note that for M to be the midpoint of AB then AM must be equal to BM i.e AM = BM

To get AM ;

Since AM = 4x+4

substitute x = 7 into the function

AM = 4(7)+4

AM = 28+4

AM = 32

Similarly, BM = 6x-10

BM = 6(7)-10

BM = 42-10

BM = 32

Since AM = BM = 32,. then M is the midpoint of AB
