Answer:

Ground Chicory = 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain = 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph would like to make 12 pounds of a coffee blend at a cost of $6.25 per pound.

Total cost of 12 pounds of coffee blend = 6.25 × 12 = $75

Ground Chicory = $4.40 per pound

Jamaican Blue Mountain = $8.84 per pound

Total weight of coffee blend = 12 pounds

Total amount of coffee blend = $75

Let the weight of Chicory be 'x'

The weight of Blue mountain be (12 - x)

75 = 4.40x + 8.84(12-x)

75 = 4.40x + 106.08 + - 8.84x

75 = (4.40x +-8.84x) + 106.08

75 = - 4.44x + 106.08

-4.44x = 75 - 106.08

-4.44x = -31.08

x = 7 pounds

and (12 - x) = 12 - 7 = 5 pounds

Therefore, Ground Chicory would be used 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain would be used 5 pounds.

The number f of miles a helicopter is from its destination x minutes after takeoff is given by f (x)=40-2x. The number f of mile
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Function 'f' represents the number of miles (y-values) covered by the helicopter in 'x' (x-values) minutes.

f(x) = 40 - 2x

For x = 0,

f(x) = 40 miles

For f(x) = 0,

0 = 40 - 2x

x = 20 minutes

This shows that helicopter traveled 40 miles in 20 minutes.

Similarly, given graph shows distance covered by the jet on y-axis and duration of flight on x-axis.

For x = 0,

f(x) = 500 miles

For f(x) = 0,

x = 100 minutes

Commercial jet traveled 500 miles in 100 minutes.

A survey found that 50% of teenagers prefer to watch a movie at a theater over other viewing options. You want to know the estim
ella [17]

Answer:

1. Flip a fair coin four times, with heads representing teenagers who prefer watching a movie at a theater and tails representing those who do not.

2. Pick a card from a deck of standard playing cards four times, with red suits representing those who prefer watching a movie at a theater and black suits representing those who do not.

4. Roll a six-sided die four times, with even numbers representing those who prefer watching a movie at a theater and odd numbers representing those who do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you need to do something 4 times, with each time having a 50/50 chance.

For 1, it flips the coin 4 times and a coin toss is 50/50

For 2, it pics 4 cards, and the deck of cards has a 50-50 chance of either red or black

For 3, it spins it only 3 times, so is wrong

For 4, it rolls the die 4 times, and even and odd is 50-50

For 5, 0-5 consist of 6 number, while 6-9 is only 4 numbers thus is not 50-50 so is wrong

Aleks [24]

Answer:

12 for 40 cents is a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation: 35divided by 10 is 3.5 and 12 divided by 40 is 3.333... therefore for just one card it is cheaper but you are getting more cards anyways.
