Question

Thee farmers' market has a total of 98 tents. The ratio of food tents to retail tents is 9:5.

a. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

b. How many food tents are at the farmers' market?

c. How many retail tents are at the farmers' market?

Answer 1

dunno how to do the linear thing
anyway

9+5=14
14 units=all tents

98=all tents


98=14 units
divide by 14 both sides
7=1 unit

food=9 unit
1 unit=7
times 9
9 unit=63

retail=5 unit
1unit=7
times 5
5 unit=35





a. f+r=98
f/r=9/5 could be the system

b. 63 food tents

c. 35 retail tents
