A distributor needs to mix some Terraza coffee that normally sells for $9.00 per pound with some Kona coffee that normally sells for $13.50 per pound to create 50 pounds of a mix that can sell for $9.54 per pound. How many pounds of each kind of coffee should they mix?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture problems are really easy because the table never varies from one problem to another and they don't have a lot of variations in them like motion problems do. The table for us will look like this, using T for Terraza coffee and K for Kona:

                #lbs     x       $/lb       =         Total

T

K

Mix

Now we just have to fill this table in using the info given. We are told that T coffee is $9 per pound, and that K coffee is $13.50 per pound, so we will fill that in first:

                 #lbs        x        $/lb       =        Total

T                                           9

K                                         13.50

Mix

Next we are told that the mix is to be 50 pounds that will sell for $9.54 per pound

                  #lbs      x       $/lb        =        Total

T                                         9

K                                       13.50

Mix              50                 9.54

Now the last thing we have to have to fill in this table is what goes in the first column in rows 1 and 2. If we need a mix of 50 pounds of both coffees and we don't know how many pounds of each to use, then under T we have x and under K we have 50 - x. Notice along the top we have that the method to use to solve this problem is to multiply the #lbs by the cost per pound, and that is equal to the Total. So we'll do that too:

                 #lbs       x       $/lb      =      Total

T                   x        x          9         =        9x

K             50 - x      x       13.50     =    675 - 13.50x

Mix            50        x         9.54     =     477

The last column is the one we focus on. We add the total of T to the total of K and set it equal to the total Mix:

9x + 675 - 13.5x = 477 and

-4.5x = -198 so

x = 44 pounds. This means that the distributor needs to mix 44 pounds of T coffee with 6 pounds of K coffee to get the mix he wants and to sell that mix for $9.54 per pound.

Answer:

AB = 8.66 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the length AB

What we have is a right triangle

so to get the length AB, we are going to use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

From the question, AB faces the given angle and that makes it the opposite

AC faces the right angle and that makes it the hypotenuse

The relationship between the hypotenuse and the opposite can be defined by the sine

the sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite to the hypotenuse

so, we have it that;

sine 60 = AB/10

AB = 10 * sine 60

AB = 8.66 m

Answer:

D. Yes; the graph passes the vertical line test.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A and C are wrong since the number of x-values that a y-value have does not matter when it comes to functions.

2. When doing the vertical line test, it is done by drawing a vertical line (up to down) and then seeing if more than 1 point touches the line.

3. After drawing the vertical line you would see only 1 point touches the line which indicates that the graph passes the vertical line test.

4. Therefore, the answer is "D. Yes; the graph passes the vertical line test."
