a chef is going to use a mixture of two brands of Italian dressing. The first brand contains 5% vinegar and the second Brian contains 15% vinegar. The chef wants to make 390 mL of a dressing that is 8% vinegar. How much of each brand should she use?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

273 mL of 5%117 mL of 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...

  0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)

  0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify

  q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

  390-q = 273

The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

__

Additional comment

You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.

Write your answer in the space below.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -40 - 180 = -220

2. - 40 - 180 - 175 = -395

3. -395 - 185 = -580

4. starting position of submersible at 2:15 = -40

position at 2:18 = -580

therefore, their distance = -580 -(-40) = -540.

This is Pythagorean theorem.

Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2

When I say ^2 I mean to the power of 2.

The question is asking me to solve for a.

Then give me b and c which is b = 17 1/3 and c = 16.

How do I solve for a when b is greater than c? Won’t that give me a negative a? You can’t have a negative a right?

Unless I’m wrong.


Please help my solve this!!!!! :D

Answers

Hello there,

I just looked into the question and you are absolutely right whatever you inferred.I think the question might be wrong.The value of c should be greater than b.I guess it will like this:[tex]b = 16 \: \: \: c = 17 \frac{1}{3} [/tex]The values should be like this.I am solving the equation by this:[tex] {a}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {b}^{2} \\ = > {a}^{2} = {(17 \frac{1}{3}) }^{2} - {(16)}^{2} \\ = > {a}^{2} = {( \frac{52}{3} )}^{2} - {(16)}^{2} \\ = > {a}^{2} = ( \frac{52}{3} - 16)( \frac{52}{3} + 16) \\ = > {a}^{2} = ( \frac{52 - 48}{3} )( \frac{52 + 48}{3} ) \\ = > {a}^{2} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{100}{3} \\ = > {a}^{2} = \frac{400}{9} \\ = > a = \sqrt{ \frac{400}{9} } \\ = > a = \frac{20}{3} \\ = > a = 6 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]So, the value of a is

Answers

Answer:

2.57×104= 267.28

2.57×10-1= 24.7

Answer:

2.57x10^4 is 100,000 Greater that 2.57x10^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

2.57x10^4 has a power by 4 which means

10^4 = 10,000

and 2.57x10^-1 has a power by -1 which means

10^-1 = 0,1

therefore 2.57x10^4 is 100,000 Greater that 2.57x10^-1

In a garden 30% of the plants are carrots. If 63 plants are not carrots, how many of the plants are carrots.
Must show each step.

Answers

Answer: 27 see my work

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that 30% are carrots, meaning that 70% are not carrots (30% + 70% = 100%)

2. Since 70% and 63 of the plants are not carrots, we know that 63 = 70%

3. We need to find 30% of the plants (all of the carrots) so let’s divide 63 by 7

63 = 70%

*divide both by 7*

9 = 10%

4. We know that 9 plants is equivalent to 10% of the plants, so let’s multiply by 3 to get the number of carrots

9 = 10%

*multiply by 3*

27 = 30%

There are 27 carrots

There are 2 pigs, 3 chickens, 4 cows and 5 ducks on a farm. If the farmer wants 3 animals
for a play but only needs one two-legged animal, how many ways can he choose the three animals?

Answers

Answer:

6 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

1: 2 pigs, 1 chicken

2: 2 pigs, 1 duck

3: 1 pig, 1 cow, 1 chicken

4: 1 pig, 1 cow, 1 duck

5: 2 cows, 1 chicken

6: 2 cows, 1 duck

The farmer can choose the animal in 6 ways as per different combinations.

Solution to the above problem

The different combinations can be written as follows:

nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!, where n represents the total number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time

Since we want 3 animals we can make different pairs as listed below

1: 2 pigs, 1 chicken

2: 2 pigs, 1 duck

3: 1 pig, 1 cow, 1 chicken

4: 1 pig, 1 cow, 1 duck
