Apreschool has campbell's chunky beef soup, which contains 2.5 g of fat and 15 mg of cholesterol per serving (cup), and campbell's chunky sirloin burger soup, which contains 7 g of fat and 15 mg of cholesterol per serving. by combining the soups, it is possible to get 8 servings of soup that will have 29 g of fat and 120 mg of cholesterol. how many cups of each soup should be used?

6 cups of  Campbell's Chunky Beef soup and 2 cups of Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger soup should be used.

Explanation:

Let the cups of Campbell's Chunky Beef soup be x

Let the cups of Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger soup be y

Total servings or cups required = 8 cups

...(1)

1 cup of Campbell's Chunky Beef soup contains 2.5 g of fat and 15 mg of cholesterol.

Then in x cups of Campbell's Chunky Beef soup have: x(2.5 g+15 mg)

1 cup of Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger soup contains 7 g of fat and 15 mg of cholesterol.

Then in y cups of Campbell's Chunky Beef soup have: y(7 g+15 mg)

Total servings or cups must have 29 g of fat and 120 mg of cholesterol.

1 mg = 0.001 g

...(2)

On solving equation (1)& (2) we get;

x = 6 , y = 2

6 cups of  Campbell's Chunky Beef soup and 2 cups of Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger soup should be used.

the law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products. because atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction, there must be the same number of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms in both the reactants and products

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
