Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x

be the kg of coffee of brand A in the mix and

y

be the kg of coffee of brand B in the mix.

The total kg must be

50

.

x

+

y

=

50

The cost per kg of the mix must br

$

7.20

. For this, the total cost of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

, so the total cost per kg of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

50

.

6

x

+

8

y

50

=

7.20

Now that we have our two equations, we can solve.

6

x

+

8

y

=

7.20

⋅

50

6

x

+

8

y

=

360

From the first equation, we can multiply both sides by

6

to get:

6

x

+

6

y

=

300

Subtracting, we get:

2

y

=

60

y

=

30

Thus, we need

30

kg of brand B in our mix. This means that

50

−

30

=

20

kg will be of brand A.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

D. 6 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First add the like fractions.

3 2/3 + 2/3 = 3 4/3 (Don't worry about simplifying yet)

Now find the least common multiple for 3 4/3 and 1 3/4 so we can add them.

<h2>REMEMBER: You can only add and subtract fractions when they have the same denominator.</h2>

3: 3, 6,  9, 12

4: 4, 8, 12

In this case 12 is the least common multiple.

3/4 x 3/3 = 9/12    9/12

4/3 x 4/4 = 16/12

Add those two fractions then add the whole numbers and put it in front.

4 25/12

Simplify

6 1/12

OlgaM077 [116]
By definition the area of a rectangle is:
 A = l * w
 Where,
 l: long
 w: width
 So we have to clear the width:
 w = A / l
 Substituting the values:
 w = (234) / (18) = 13
 w = 13 feets
 answer
 the width, in feet, of the room is 13

Goryan [66]

Answer:

#3) 72; #4) 40,320; #5) 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

#3) The number of possible choices are found by multiplying the choices of flavors and the choices of toppings:

6*12=72.

#4) The ordering of 8 cards is a permutation, given by 8!=40,320.

#5) This is a permutation of 10 objects taken 2 at a time:

P(10,2) = 10!/(10-2)!=10!/8!=90.

P.S I had the same question once.

$1.12 for 8.2 ounces? Unit Rate
Reil [10]
That is around 13 or 14 cents. The specific answer is 13.65853659 cents, but you can either round up to 14 or round down to 13 (rounding up to 14 is the correct way to do it.)

First you divide 1.12 by 8.2 to get the unit rate because It takes $1.12 to buy 8.2 ounces. 1.12/8.2=13.65853659
