Answer:
Adam needs 9/8 of a 5oz serving of shrimps (which equals to 5.625 oz) and 5/8 of a cup of brown rice (which is around 10 tablespoons).
Explanation:
You are given:
every serving of shrimp contains 2g of fat and 5mg of iron;
every serving of rice contains 6g of fat and 7mg of iron;
each meal should have 6g of total fat and 10mg of total iron.
You need to set a system of equation: let's call
s = quantity of shrimps
r = quantity of rice
The equation for the total fat will be: the quantity of fat in the serving of shrimps plus the quantity of fat in the serving of rice must be equal to 6g
2s + 6r = 6 (1)
Similarily:
the quantity of iron in the serving of shrimps plus the quantity of iron in the serving of rice must be equal to 10g
5s + 7r = 10 (2)
In order to solve the system, solve for s in equation (1):
s = (6-6r)/2 = 3 - 3r (3)
Substitute in equation (2):
5(3 - 3r) + 7r = 10
and solve for r:
15 - 15r + 7r = 10
8r = 5
r = 5/8
Substitute the value of r in equation (3):
s = 3 - 3×5/8 = 9/8
Therefore Adam would need 9/8 of a 5oz serving of shrimps and 5/8 of a 1 cup of brown rice for each meal.
Answer:
B. -3, -10, -17, -24, -31
Step-by-step explanation:
An Arithmetic sequence is defined as a set of numbers with a common difference. In answer choice B, it is seen that the difference between each number is seven.
A is incorrect as one to eight has a difference of seven, while the other numbers have a difference of eight.
C is incorrect as it skips the number 12 between 9 and 15, thus breaking the sequence.
D is incorrect as the numbers jump from positive to negative, thus not having a common difference.
Hope this helps!
The benchmarks are: 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.
