Lori has a dog named Rusty. Tim's dog, Midnight, eats 28 cups of food in a week. Midnight eats the same amount each day. In one day, how many more cups of food will Midnight eat than Rusty? Complete the explanation. Rusty's Care Food 3 cups a day Water 4 cups a day Bath 2 times a month Midnight will eat more cup(s) of food than Rusty each day. Rusty will eat 3 × 7 = cups of food in one week. 28 − 21 = There are 7 days in a week, so Midnight will eat more cup(s) of food each day.

Midnight will eat 1 more cup of dog food per day than Rusty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rusty:

Midnight eats 28 cups / 7 days = 4 cups of dog food per day.

Midnight will eat 4 - 3 = 1 more cup of dog food per day than Rusty.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

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)
