Question

Need help to answer this problem

Answer 1

Explanation:

9.1 h + 11.6 t = 9.98(60)

9.1 h + 11.6 t = 598.8 ........ (1)

h + t = 60 ........ (2)

h = 60 - t

9.1(60 - t) + 11.6 t = 598.8

546 - 9.1 t + 11.6 t = 598.8

2.5 t = 52.8

t = 52.8 ÷ 2.5 = 21.12 ≈ 21 (lb.)

h = 60 - 21.12 = 38.88 ≈ 39 (lb.)
