A former mayor of Buffalo, New York suggested that residents grab a pack of beer to get through a pending snow storm. The local news station ran with the idea and formalized the notion that a six-pack of beer is recommended for a storm that would drop 2 feet of snow. Based on this recommendation, how many beers would Mayor Jimmy Griffin have recommended for the 1967 storm that dropped 58cm of snow on Chicago? Round to the nearest full beer if necessary. how to resolve this problem

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)

14 x 10 5

step-by-step explanation:

10 5 = 100,000

14x10,000 = 140,000
