A health food company makes its 'Superfood Blend' from whey protein, which costs $10.25 per pound, and powdered spirulina, which costs $22.45 per pound. The blend ends up costing $16.35 per pound. If the company has 140 pounds of the whey protein on hand, how many pounds of the spirulina does it need to get in order to make the blend?

Answers

Answer 1

It needs [tex]140\ \text {pounds}[/tex] of the spirulina to get in order to make the blend.

Used the concept of a system of linear equations that states,

Linear equations are equations of the first order. The linear equations are defined for lines in the coordinate system.

Example; ax + by = 0

Given that,

The cost of protein per pound = [tex]\$10.25[/tex]

The cost of powdered spirulina per pound = [tex]\$22.45[/tex]

And, the blend ends up costing [tex]\$16.35[/tex] per pound.

Let us assume that,

There are x pounds of protein and y pounds of spirulina in the mixture.

Hence, by given conditions the equation is,

[tex]10.25x + 22.45y = 16.35 (x + y)[/tex]

[tex]10.25x + 22.45y = 16.35x +16.35 y[/tex]

Combine like terms,

[tex]22.45y - 16.35 y= 16.35x - 10.25x[/tex]

[tex]6.1 y = 6.1x[/tex]

[tex]y = x[/tex]

Since the company has 140 pounds of whey protein on hand.

So, the amount of spirulina it needs to get in order to make the blend is,

[tex]y = 140\ \text {pounds}[/tex]

provisions for 630 men to last for 25 days. How many men must be transferred to another camp so that the food lasts for 30 days?​

Answers

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

25 days = Food for 630 men

30 days = x           (Inverse variation)

30 * x = 630 * 25

x = 630 * 25/30

  = 21 * 25

  = 525 men.

630 - 525 = 105 men.

Therefore, 105 men must be transferred to another camp so that the food lasts for 30 days.

O No, the distance from (3, 0) to (2, 6) is not 3 units.
O No, the distance from (0, 0) to (2, 6) is not 3 units.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

the square root of 6 is roughly 1.57

so that means the ordered pair would read (2,1.57).

if you were to plot that point it would be on the circle.

Also the distance from the origin (0,0) to (3,0) is 3 units

We will see that the correct option is:

"No, the distance from (0, 0) to (2, 6) is not 3 units."

Does (2, 6) lie on the circle shown?

We know that the circle has a radius of 3 units, then we need to see if the distance between (0, 0) and (2, 6) is 3 units.

Here we have:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(6 - 0)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 4} = \sqrt{40} \neq 3[/tex]

So the distance between (0, 0) and (2, 6) is different than 3 units, meaning that the point is not in the circle.

A regular square pyramid has a slant height of 5 in and a base area of 49 in2. Find the surface area of the pyramid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 171.5 square inches 70 square inches 119 square inches 245 square inches

Answers

Answer:

C: 119 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Slant height; L = 5 in

Base area; B = 49 in²

Since it's a square pyramid, the base portion has a square shape.

Thus, area of base = x²

Where x is a side of the square.

Thus;

x² = 49

x = √49

x = 7

Perimeter of base = 7 × 4 = 28 in

Area of pyramid = ½PL + B

Plugging in the relevant values;

Area of pyramid = (½ × 28 × 5) + 49

Area of pyramid = 119 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding parts of the problem are in proportion

let h be the height of the tree , then

[tex]\frac{6}{h}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{31.5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

7h = 189 ( divide both sides by 7 )

h = 27

If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the chord AC which is. 14 units long, what is the length of the segment AB?

Answers

Answer:

C. 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the chord of the circle, [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = 14 units

The orientation of the radius and the chord = The radius is perpendicular to the chord

We have in ΔAOC, [tex]\overline{AO}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{OC}[/tex] = The radius of the circle

[tex]\overline{OB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{OB}[/tex]  by reflexive property

The angle at point B = 90° by angle formed by the radius which is perpendiclar to the chord [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]

ΔAOB and ΔCOB are right triangles (triangles having one 90° angle)

[tex]\overline{AO}[/tex] and [tex]\overline{OC}[/tex] are hypotenuse sides of ΔAOB and ΔCOB respectively and [tex]\overline{OB}[/tex] is a leg to ΔAOB and ΔCOB

Therefore;

ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOB, by Hypotenuse Leg rule of congruency

Therefore;

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by definition of congruency

[tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] by segment addition postulate

∴ [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{BC}[/tex] =  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] + [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 2 ×  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex]

∴  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AC}[/tex]/2

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 14/2 = 7

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = 7 units.

0.63 ÷ 0.3 = 63 x 10^-2 ÷ 3 x 10^-1 = 63 / 3  x 10^(-2--1) = 21 x 10^-1 = 2.1

Answer:

2.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

63/3 = 21

0.63 = 63 / 100

and 0.3 = 3 / 10

so 0.63/0.3 = 63 /100 / 3/10 = 63/100 * 10/3

= 63/3 / 10

So the answer is 21 / 10 = 2.1.

For Part A, use the pythagorean theorem to find the height, which ca be found by finding one length of the leg. Using the imaginary bisector, you can determine one of the legs is 5 cm, and the hypotenuse is 13 cm

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. Plug in the values to solve for one leg, you get 25+b^2=169

Solve algebraically, b^2= 144, so b=12, which is the height.

1. To find the area of the shaded region, you'd find the area of the white rectangular shape, next, find the area of the whole triangular shape, then find the difference of their areas to get the area of the shaded region. Thus, the formula to use would be:

Area of shaded region = area of triangle - area of rectangle

Area of shaded region = ½*base*height - length*width

1. a. Volume of triangular prism = area of triangular base * height of prism

Volume of triangular prism = ½bh * H

Where,

b = 6 m

h = 4 m

H = 8 m

Substitute

Volume of prism = ½*6*4*8

Volume of prism = 96 m³

b. Volume of sphere = ⁴/3πr³

Where,

r = 9 cm

Substitute

Volume = ⁴/3*π*9³

Volume = ⁴/3*π*729

Volume ≈ 3,053.6 cm³ (nearest tenth)

2. Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the cone

radius of the cone (r) = ½(16) = 8 cm

Slant height (l) = 11 cm

height (h) = ?

Using Pythagorean theorem, we have:

h = √(l² - r²)

Substitute

h = √(11² - 8²)

h = √(57)

h ≈ 7.5 cm (nearest tenth)

b. Volume of the cone = ⅓πr²h

where,

r = 8 cm

h = 7.5 cm

Volume = ⅓*π*8²*7.5

Volume = 502.7 cm³ (nearest tenth)

[tex]b. \ \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates with rules of indices

(a) The give expression is presented as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}[/tex]

By expanding the expression, we get;

[tex]\dfrac{m^3 \times n^{-8} \times 5^4 \times m^4}{\left 3^3 \times m^6 \times n^3}[/tex]

Collecting like terms gives;

[tex]\dfrac{m^{(3 + 4 - 6)} \times 5^4}{ 3^3 \times n^{3 + 8}} = \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}= \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}[/tex]

(b) The given expression is presented as follows;

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \div (x \cdot y^n)^4[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n}[/tex]

Collecting like terms gives;

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2 - 4} \times \left (y^{3 \cdot n - 3 -4 \cdot n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \times \left (y^{ - 3 -n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right )[/tex]

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right ) = \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}[/tex]

[tex]x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n} =\dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}[/tex]
