A container is filled with 100 grams of bird feed that is 80% seed. Tom and Sally want to mix the 100 grams with bird feed that is 5% seed to get a mixture that is 40% seed. Tom wants to add 114 grams of the 5% seed, and Sally wants to add 115 grams of the 5% seed mix. What will be the percent of seed if Tom adds 114 grams?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Initially, we had:

100 grams of a mixture that is 80% seed, (or 0.8 in decimal form)

This means that the quotient between the mass of seeds and the total mass of the mixture is equal to 0.8

Then the mass of seeds, x, can be calculated as:

x/100g = 0.8

x = 0.8*100g

x = 80g

We also have another mixture, that is 5% seed (or 0.05 in decimal form)

This means that in X grams of this mixture, there will be y grams of seeds, such that:

y/X = 0.05

y = 0.05*X grams

Now, we want to create a mixture that is 40% seeds (or 0.4 in decimal form).

Let's do this.

If we add X grams of the 5% mixture, the total mass will be:

M = 100g + X.

The total mass of seeds will be:

m = 80g + X*0.05

and we want that the quotient between the mass of seeds and the total mass to be exactly 0.4

m/M = 0.4

(80g + X*0.05)/(100g + X) = 0.4

Let's solve this for X.

(80g + X*0.05) =  0.4*(100g + X)

80g + X*0.05 = 40g + X*0.4

80g - 40g = X*0.4 - X*0.05

40g = X*0.35

40g/0.35 = X = 114.2g

If we want the mixture to be exactly 40% seeds, we need to add 114.2g of the 5% mixture. (We already can see that Tom is closer to the exact result than Sally)

If we add 114g, like Tom wants, we will have:

M = 100g + 114g = 214g

m = 80g + 0.05*114g = 85.7g

m/M = 85.7g/214g = 0.4005

This is a really good aproximation, if we write this in percentage form this would be:

0.4005*100% = 40.05%

There were 24 boys and 20 girls in a chess club last year. This year
the number of boys increased by 25% but the number of girls
decreased by 10%.
Find the overall percent change in membership of the club.
10

Answers

Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the amount of percent the girls decreased, and the amount the boys increased in percentages, you will have your answer when just adding them together. So the answer is 35% or as in 6 boys joined and 2 girls left. So that gives you a total of 8 joining or leaving the chess club or 35% difference.

Answer!
A car travels from A to B at a speed of 30 mph then returns, using the same road, from B to A at a speed of 65 mph. What is the average speed for the round trip?

Answers

Here is an example for your question



Average with respect to what? If we take the time-weighted average, the two legs of the trip will be weighted differently (the leg from A to B taking 60/40 = 3/2 times as long as the leg from B to A), and we will get an average of 48 MPH.

But the time-weighted average is not the only average we can consider. We could also consider the distance-weighted average (which might be useful if we were considering, say, the wear on the road caused by such travel); then the two legs would be weighted equally and the average would be 50 MPH.

Often, when people speak about average speed, it's the former of these notions which is implicitly meant (since speed itself is distance over time, we have the nice property that the time-weighted average of speeds will always be the total distance over the total time), but the latter is a perfectly legitimate notion as well. Averages are always averages with respect to some weighting, and different weightings will give different averages.

Answer:

         41 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

s₁ = s₂ = x       {the distance from A to B}

s = s₁ + s₂ = x + x = 2x      {the distance of the round trip}

t = t₁ + t₂               {the time of the round trip}

v₁ = 30 mph      

v₂ = 65 mph

t₁ = s₁/v₁ = x/30 h       {the time of trip from A to B}

t₂ = s₂/v₂ = x/65 h      {the time of trip from B to A}

The average speed:

[tex]v=\dfrac st=\dfrac{2x}{\frac x{30}+\frac x {65}}=\dfrac{2x}{x(\frac 1{30}+\frac1 {65})}=\dfrac{2}{\frac{13}{390}+\frac6{390}}=2\cdot\frac{390}{19}=41.05263...\approx41[/tex]

Answer:Simplifying

x = -2.125

Step-by-step explanation:Add '-10' to each side of the equation.

10 + -10 + 8x = -7 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0

0 + 8x = -7 + -10

8x = -7 + -10

Combine like terms: -7 + -10 = -17

8x = -17

Divide each side by '8'.

x = -2.125

Simplifying

x = -2.125

Answer: x=-17/8


First, distribute the 10

10x + 10 = 2x - 7

Next, move the x-values to one side

8x = -17

Now, isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8

x = -17/8

1 - 3x = 3x + 1 solve for x

Answers

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 3x = 3x + 1

then add 3x on both sides

1 = 6x + 1

then subtract 1 on both sides

0 = 6x

then divide by 6 on both sides

0 = x

so x = 0

Answer:

x would be unknown bc there wouldnt be an answer since

1-3x=3x+1

if we take away 1 forom both sides were left with -3x=3x and it would be 6x if we combined them which can be possible bc it would be nothing = 6x if that makes sense

Use the quadratic formula to find both solutions to the quadratic equation
given below.
2x²+x-1=0

Answers

Answer:

x=1/2 or x=−1

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the quadratic equation is x = -1 or 1/2

What is Quadratic Equation?

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax² + bx + c=0. with a ≠ 0. Because it is a second-order polynomial equation, the fundamental theorem of algebra guarantees that it has at least one solution. The solution may be real or complex.

The roots of the quadratic equations are

x = [ -b ± √ ( b² - 4ac ) ] / ( 2a )

where ( b² - 4ac ) is the discriminant

when ( b² - 4ac ) is positive, we get two real solutions

when discriminant is zero we get just one real solution (both answers are the same)

when discriminant is negative we get a pair of complex solutions

Given data ,

Let the quadratic equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

2x² + x - 1 = 0   be equation (1)

And , roots of the quadratic equations are

x = [ -b ± √ ( b² - 4ac ) ] / ( 2a )

On simplifying , we get

x = [ -1 ± √ ( 1 )² - ( 4 ) ( 2 ) ( -1 ) ] / 4

x =  [ -1 ± √ ( 1 + 8 ) ] / 4

x = [ -1 ± 3 ] / 4

So , the two values of x are

x = ( -1 - 3 ) / 4

x = -1

And , x = ( -1 + 3 ) / 4

x = 1/2

Therefore , the values of x are -1 or 1/2 respectively

Hence , the roots of the quadratic equation are -1 or 1/2 respectively

B. (-5/2,13/4)

C. (-13/4,5/2)

D.) (5/2,-13/4)

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system of equations:

[tex]\displaystyle -2x+5y=19 \\\\ y=-\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

And we want to use the graph to approximate the solution to the system.

Remember that, graphically, the solution to a system of equations is where the two graphs intersect.

We can see that the point at which the two lines intersect is in QII.

Hence, x is negative and y is positive.

The only choices that satisfies these conditions are B or C.

However, for B, -5/2 is -2.5. As we can see from the graph, the x-coordinate of the point of intersection is less than -3.

Hence, the only choice left is C. -13/4 also is -3.25, fulfilling our condition.

So, our final answer is C.
