The number of cups of onion that are needed is \boxed{27}.

Further explanation:

Explanation:

A salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 1:3:9.

Consider that the amount of green pepper is \boxed{y}.

Consider that the amount of onion is \boxed{3y}.

Consider that the amount of tomato is \boxed{9y}.

The total amount green pepper, onion and tomato can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Total}} &= y + 3y + 9y\\&= 13y\\\end{aligned}

There are total 117 cups of salsa.

\begin{aligned}13y&= 117\\y&= \frac{{117}}{{13}}\\y&= 9\\\end{aligned}

The amount of onion used to make 117 cups of salsa can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Amount of onion}} &= 3 \times 9\\&= 27\\\end{aligned}

The number of cups of onion that are needed is \boxed{27}.

Let x be a variable.

Using the ratio and the given number of 117, we can create the following formula:

1x + 3x + 9x = 117, where 3x is the cups of onion

Simplify this equation.

13x = 117

Divide both sides by 13

x = 9

We want to solve for 3x, so multiply both sides by 3

3x = 27

As I started earlier, 3x is how many cups of onions is needed; thus, 27 is our answer. Hope this helps! :)

The article on the next page from the San Francisco Chronicle, January 27, 1996, describes very serious problems of subsidence,
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

246.3%

the complete question is found in the attached document

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step:

using 1936 data,

w1= 356% = 3.56(356/100) , H= 79 feet

specific gravity = 2.65

Sₓ= 100%= 1

initial void ratio(e₀)= (w1 x specific gravity)/Sₓ

=3.56 x 2.65/1 = 9.434

2nd step

using 1996 data

ΔH= 22ft

ΔH/H = Δe/(1 + e₀)

22/79 = Δe/(1+9.434)

0.278=Δe/10.434

Δe= 0.278 x 10.434

Δe= 2.905

Δe= e₀ - eₓ

eₓ= e₀-Δe

eₓ= 9.434 - 2.905

eₓ= 6.529

3rd step

calculating water content in 1996

eₓ =6.529, specific gravity= 2.65, Sₓ= 100%

W2 X 2.65 = 1 x 6.529

w2 = 6.529/2.65 = 2.463 = 246.3%

In a certain manufacturing plant, the first operation can be done on any one of five machines, the second operation on only one
Ymorist [56]
Let's see all the steps: 
1)  operation  : 5 options
2) only one option: we ignore it
3) the third operation: 6 options
4): 2 options.


So we have 5 options, 6 options and 2 options: and they are independent of each other. This means that we multiply the numbers, and 5*6*2=60 So the answer is 60!
