Question

can you help me with this question please



Mark and Nancy are making punch for a party and are using two types of juice: pineapple and papaya. The total number of quarts must be more than 9 but less than 15. They should use at least 4 quarts of each type. We want to find out how many quarts of each juice they should buy.
List any 3 ordered pair solutions for the system of equations which represent this problem.

Answer 1

did you try?

Answer 2

yes i did a different problem with the same problem but i don't get this one

Answer 3

are there any choices to this question?

Answer 4

no you have to write it that is why i was asking you guyes if you could help me because i don't get this question

Answer 5

the system of equations

so, you need two variables. One stands for the amount of pineapple, the other for the amount of papaya.

So pick to letters, and label them.

Answer 6

*two letters

Answer 7

so like X and Y

Answer 8

yes, but label them so we know which is pineapple

Answer 9

X=pineapple
Y= papaya

Answer 10

now we need to translate
They should use at least 4 quarts of each type.
into equations. I'll do one, you can do the other:
amount of pineapple: X≥4 (at least means 4 or more)

Answer 11

ok i am confused do i just write
Y>5

Answer 12

You are getting ahead of yourself. Just try to interpret what this sentence means:
They should use at least 4 quarts of each type.

Answer 13

ok so like you said it means X≥4

Answer 14

what about the papaya?

Answer 15

ok so the it would be 5,9 because pineapple is 4,9

Answer 16

What I want you to write is Y≥4
in other words
at least 4 quarts of each type
means
X≥4 and Y≥4

Answer 17

Now let's interpret
total number of quarts must be more than 9

Answer 18

ok i get that

Answer 19

can you write the equation for
total number of quarts must be more than 9

Answer 20

Here is a graph of where all the pairs are.
