mr. lee had a bag of red beans and a bag of black beans. 20% of the total number of beans were black, and there were 180 ounces more red beans than black beans. he transferred some red beans to the bag containing black beans, so that, the bag now contained 30% of the total number of beans. How many ounces of beans were there in the bag of mixed beans

Answers

Answer 1
r = b+180 
b = .2(r+b) 
so, 
b = 60 
r = 240 
Total beans = 300 oz 

After the transfer, 30% = 90 oz
Answer 2

Final answer:

After finding the total weight of beans based on the given percentages and difference in weight between red and black beans, we determine that there are 90 ounces of beans in the mixed bag.

Explanation:

The question asks us to find out how many ounces of beans are now in the bag of mixed beans, given certain percentages before and after mixing. We know that initially, 20% of the total beans are black, and the rest are red. After Mr. Lee transferred some red beans to the bag containing black beans, the bag contained 30% of the total number of beans.

To solve this, let's denote the total number of beans by T, the number of black beans by B, and the number of red beans by R. According to the information provided:

20% of T is black beans: B = 0.20TThere are R = B + 180 oz of red beans.After transferring, the mixed bag contains 30% of T.

First, we use the initial conditions to write an equation for the total number of beans T. Since R is 180 ounces more than B:

T = B + R

T = B + (B + 180)

T = 2B + 180

Given that B is 20% of T, we can also write this as:

T = 2(0.20T) + 180

T = 0.40T + 180

We can now solve for T:

T - 0.40T = 180

0.60T = 180

T = 180 / 0.60

T = 300 ounces

Since we know that the mixed bag contains 30% of the total, we calculate 30% of 300 ounces:

30% of T = 0.30 x 300

30% of T = 90 ounces

Therefore, after transferring, there are 90 ounces of beans in the mixed bag.

Let x represent any year. Write an inequality in terms of x and 1610 that is true only for values of x that represent years after the year the Mali Empire fell.

Answers

The years that represent the year the Mali Empire fell starts from 1611 onwards. These numbers will be larger than 1610, hence the inequality is x > 1610

What are linear equations?

First-order equations are linear equations. The coordinate system defines the linear equations for lines. A linear equation in one variable is one in which there is only one variable and the equation has a homogeneous variable of degree 1. There can be more than one variable in a linear equation. When there are two variables in a linear equation, it is referred to as a "linear equation with two variables" and so on.

Given equations 11x + 4y = -46

 and  7x - 4y = 10

add both equations

11x + 4y  + 7x - 4y = -46 + 10

18x = -36

x = -36/18

x = -2

substitute the value of x in equation

11x + 4y = -46

11(-2) + 4y = -46

4y = -46 + 22

4y = -24

y = -6

Hence the solution for given equations is x = -2 and y = -6.

A cone has one circular base with two slant heights that are attached at the vertex. When it is cut in such a way that the cross-section is perpendicular to the base and it passes through the vertex or apex, then a triangle is formed.

A cross section of a cone taken perpendicular to the base and intersecting the apex of the cone - The shape will be a triangle.

The answer is a triangle.

A cross-section of a cone taken perpendicular to the base and intersecting the apex of the cone is a triangle.

When you cut a cone perpendicular to its base and through its apex, the resulting cross-section will be a triangle. The shape of the cross-section depends on the angle at which you make the cut. If the cut is parallel to one of the sides of the cone, the cross-section will be a right-angled triangle.

If the cut is made at an angle to the sides of the cone, the cross-section will be an isosceles or scalene triangle.

In any case, the cross-section will always be a triangular shape with its vertices at the apex of the cone and the points where the cut intersects the base of the cone.

Of the 240 shirts on a rack, 40 percent are size medium. How many shirts on the rack are size medium?

Answers

First, let’s check for the given:

Shirts on the rack = 240

Medium size shirts = 40% of 240

 

With the following given, we can now solve for the total number of shirts on the rack that are size medium.

So, in order to solve for the problem, we multiply 40% to 240:

The decimal equivalent of 40% is 0.4.

240 shirts * .4 = 96 shirts

Therefore, out of 240 shirts on the rack, there are 96 shirts on the rack that are size medium.

 

To add, the number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100 is called a percentage.

True or false, the product of two rational numbers is never equal to 1.

Answers

The answer is true the product of two rational numbers is never equal to 1
Final answer:

The product of two rational numbers can indeed be equal to 1. For example, 2/3 (two-thirds) and 3/2 (three-halves) are both rational numbers, and their product is 1.

Explanation:

The product of two rational numbers can indeed equal to 1. This is a False statement. For example, if we take 2/3 (two-thirds) and 3/2 (three-halves), both are rational numbers because they can be expressed as fractions, i.e., ratios of two integers. In this case, if we multiply these two numbers together, i.e., (2/3)*(3/2), we get 6/6, which equals 1. Therefore, it's possible that the product of two rational numbers can equal 1, hence proving the provided statement to be false.

The value of the equation for z is [tex]z=\frac{83}{6-c-t}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

[tex]-cz+6z=tz+83[/tex]

Subtract tz from both the sides.

[tex]-cz+6z-tz=tz-tz+83[/tex]

[tex]-cz+6z-tz=83[/tex]

Take z common.

[tex]z(-c+6-t)=83[/tex]

[tex]z(6-c-t)=83[/tex]

Divide 6-c-t from both the sides.

[tex]\frac{z(6-c-t)}{6-c-t}=\frac{83}{6-c-t}[/tex]

Thus, the value of the equation for z is [tex]z=\frac{83}{6-c-t}[/tex].
