Answer to Problem 6AYU
Number of pounds of coffee B will be
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Two coffees
Calculation:
Real world problems do not come in the form of mathematical equations. Instead information is provided using words, a verbal description of the real problem. So, to solve these real world problems verbal descriptions are translated into mathematical language consisting numbers, symbols etc.
This process of using variables to represent unknown quantities and then finding relationship that involves these variables is referred to as mathematical modelling.
In the present scenario, two coffees
Suppose
Since, total amount of blend is
Therefore, number of pounds of coffee B will be
