1.How many pounds of walnuts that cost $0.80 per pound must be mixed
with 8 pounds of cashews that costs $1.25 per pound to make a mixture of
nuts that costs $1.00 per pound?

2.A chemist needs to mix a 12% acid solution with a 32% acid solution to
obtain an 8‐liters mixture consisting of 20% acid. How many liters of each of
the acid solutions must be used?

Answer:

1012%: 4.8 L; 32%: 3.2 L

Step-by-step explanation:

For mixture problems, I like to use a single variable to represent the quantity of the greatest contributor (greatest cost or greatest concentration). Let that variable be x.

1. In this problem, the amount of the greatest contributor is already fixed, so we'll use x for the amount of walnuts. The cost of the mix is ...

  0.80x + 1.25(8) = 1.00(x +8)

  2 = 0.2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.8x+8, simplify

  10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.2

10 pounds of walnuts must be used.

__

2. The amount of acid in the mix is ...

  12%(8 -x) +32%(x) = 20%(8)

  20%(x) = 8%(8) . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12%(8)

  x = 8(8)/20 = 3.2 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 20%

  8-x = 4.8

3.2 liters of 32% acid must be mixed with 4.8 liters of 12% acid

Comment on mixture problems

The general solution for mixture problems that have a greater contributor (G), a lesser contributor (L), and a mix value (M) is ...

  g/l = (M -L)/(G -M) . . . . . . ratio of quantities of G and L

In the first problem, this becomes ...

  8/l = (1.00 -.80)/(1.25 -1.00) = .2/.25 = 4/5  ⇒  l = 8(5/4) = 10

In the second problem, this becomes ...

  g/l = (20-12)/(32-20) = 8/12 = 2/3  ⇒  g = (2/5)(8) = 3.2; l = (3/5)(8) = 4.8

In this case, we recognize that the ratio of 2 parts to 3 parts means that the greater contributor is 2 of 5 total parts.

Answers

Answer:

(-7,-9) and (7,9)

Step-by-step explanation:7,-9 so we do across the x so you need a graph for this now x goes left so we plot the coordinates in the third box 7,-9 is in the 4 box so after we plotted that you can see it reflects.Now y coordinate since the y line goes up we plot the coordinates on top of the 4 box where our original coordinates stay now it should be 7,9 the y becomes positive which is 9.

This is not a web answer i answered myself took me some time!

(a) after reflecting (7, -9) across the y-axis you get (-7, -9)

You have been assigned 40 homework assignments this marking period. You have completed 18 of them. What percent of homework assignments have you completed?

Answers

Answer:

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply divide your partial amount (18 in this case) by your total (40), and you then multiply your answer from 18/40= .45 by 100, and you get 45. This is 45%

45% because math said so

18÷40= .45

.45•100=45

The straight line L1 passes through the points with coordinates (6, 5) and (10, 3)
The straight line L2 passes through the origin and has gradient -3
The lines L1 and L2 intersect at point P
Find the coordinates of P.

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of point p are:

x = -3.2

y = 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship can be written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Then if we know that L1 passes through the points (6, 5) and (10, 3) the slope of this line will be:

a = (3 - 5)/(10 - 6) = -0.5

Then this line will be something like:

y = -0.5*x + b

To find the value of b we can just replace the values of one of the points in the above equation. For example if we use the point (6, 5), this means that:

x = 6

y = 5

Then we get:

5 = -0.5*6 + b

5 = -3 + b

5 + 3 = b

8 = b

Then the equation for line L1 is:

y = -0.5*x + 8

Now, for line L2 we know that it has a gradient -3 (for linear equations, the gradient is the same as the slope)

Then line L2 has a slope equal to -3

y = -3*x + b

And we know that this line passes through the origin, (0, 0)

Then if we replace the values of that point in our equation, we get:

0 = -3*0 + b

0 = b

Then line L2 is:

y = -3*x

Then our two lines are:

y = -0.5*x + 8

y = -3*x

Now we want to find the point where these lines intersect. The lines will intersect in one point that belongs to both lines, then we can use the relation:

-0.5*x + 8 = y = -3*x

-0.5*x + 8 = -3*x

now we can solve this for x.

-0.5*x + 8 = -3*x

8 = -3*x + 0.5*x

8 = -2.5*x

8/-2.5 = x = -3.2

Now we need to evaluate one of the lines on this value, i will use line L2

y = -3*(-3.2) = 9.6

Then we can conclude that the lines do intersect in the point:

x = -3.2

y = 9.6

this point is written as: (-3.2, 9.6)

At a hardware store, a tool set normally costs $80. During a sale this week, the tool set costs $12 less than usual. What percentage of the usual price is the savings? Explain or show your reasoning. Use whatever strategy you would like.

Answers

Answer: 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual price is $80.

This week however, the set sold for $12 less than this usual price of $80.

Savings therefore are $12 because people save $12 by buying it at $12 off.

Percentage of usual price:

= Savings / Usual price * 100%

= 12 / 80 * 100%

= 0.15 * 100

= 15%
