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%

which ratio is same as 2/3

Answers

6:15:2 is the same as 2:3

The ratio 4/6 is the same as 2/3 because they have the same proportion.

To find a ratio that is the same as 2/3, multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number.

1. Multiplying by the same number:

  If you multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 2/3 by 2, you get:

= (2 × 2) / (3 × 2)

= 4/6

So, the ratio 4/6 is the same as 2/3.

2. Dividing by the same number:

  Divide both the numerator and the denominator of 2/3 by 3, you get:

= (2 ÷ 3) / (3 ÷ 3)

= 2/3

So, the ratio 2/3 remains the same.

In conclusion, the ratio 4/6 is the same as 2/3.

Part 1

Part 1

Please find attached the given drawing of the quadrilateral created with Microsoft Excel

Part 2

The given quadrilateral ABCD comprises of a trapezium AECD and triangle ABE

The height of the trapezium, h₁ = 4 units

For segment BC, we have;

The slope = (-5 - (-2))/(5 - (-4)) = -1/3

The equation of the line BC in point and slope form is y - (-5) = -1/3×(x - 5)

Which gives;

y = -1/3×(x - 5) - 5 = -x/3 + 5/3 - 5 = -x/3 - 10/3

The y-intercept is (0, -10/3)

The lengths of the opposite parallel sides of the trapezium AECD are;

a = 5 - (-2) = 7 and b = 7 - (-10/3) = 31/3

The area of the trapezium AECD = ((a + b)/2) × h₁ = ((7 + 31/3)/2) × 4 = 104/3 unit²

The height of triangle

The area of ABE, h₂ = 5

The base of triangle ABE = b = 31/3

The area of triangle ABE = 1/2 × b × h₂ = 1/2 × 31/3 × 5 = 155/6 unit²

The area of quadrilateral ABCD = The area of the trapezium AECD + The area of triangle ABE

∴ The area of quadrilateral ABCD = 104/3 unit² + 155/6 unit² = 60.5 unit².
