<span>Let L be the number of yards on a roll of lace ribbon.
Let S be the number of yards on a roll of satin ribbon.
We can set up two equations.
equation 1: 3L + 2S = 120 yards
equation 2: 2L + 4S = 160 yards
We can multiply (equation 1) by 2 and subtract (equation 2).
equation 1: 6L + 4S = 240 yards
equation 2: 2L + 4S = 160 yards
4L = 80 yards
L = 20 yards
equation 1: 3L + 2S = 120 yards
3(20 yards) + 2S = 120 yards
2S = 60 yards
S = 30 yards
There are 20 yards on a roll of lace ribbon.
There are 30 yards on a roll of satin ribbon.</span>
Answer:
He must get 33 hits in his next 46 times at bat to finish the year with a .400 batting average
Step-by-step explanation:
The player has already batted 134 times and will still bat 46 times. So in the end of the year, he is going to have 134 + 46 = 180 at bats.
How many hits does he need to have to hit .400?
This is 40% of 180, which is 0.4*180 = 72.
He has already 39 hits, so in his next 46 at bats, he will need 72 - 39 = 33 hits.
