Apples lose 71% of their weight while drying. How many fresh apples to you need to pick in order to get 128 lb of dried apples?

1 answer:

6 0

100-71=29

71% lost means 29% remains

you want that 29% to weigh 128lb

so 29% of original=128lb

remember, percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100 so 29%=29/100
also, 'of' means multiply

29% of original=128
29/100 times original=128
multiply both sides by 100/29
original=12800/29
original=441.37931034482758620689655172414
so about 441lb of apples must be picked

Over the weekend halverson had put together 3/16 if a jigsaw puzzle while jamie put together 10/16 of the puzzle. Who had coplet

Luden [163]

Answer:

Jamie. by 7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Halverson completed: 3/16

Jamie completed: 10/16.

To understand who completed more, look at the denominator. The common denominator is 16. Assume a puzzle has 16 pieces and Halverson did 3 out of 16 and Jamie did 10 out of 16. This means Jamie did more.

If you want to know by how much Jamie did more, it would be the difference of both the fraction. This means that 10 done by Jamie minus 3 done by Halverson, which is 7. So 7 out of 16 is the difference.

$\frac{10}{16} -\frac{3}{16}$

7 out of 16 can be written as 7/16

Katie is playing a game using a 26-card deck that contains the black suits of the cards, which are 13 clubs and 13 spades. She c

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The probability that Katie will draw a face card on her next turn is 3/13, or approximately 23%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a regular deck, there are four suits (clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds). Each suit has 13 cards that go from 2 - 10 plus the Ace, King, Queen and Jack. Since Katie is playing using a 26-card deck of only two suits, then there are only two kings, two queens and two jacks in the entire deck. In order to find probability, we form a fraction where the denominator is the total number of outcomes, in this case 26, and the numerator is the number of desired outcomes, in this case the total number of face cards in the deck - 6. So, the probability that Katie will choose a face card on the next turn is 6/26, which simplifies to 3/13 in lowest terms.
