Answer:

%P = 8%

the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The percentage of fat in the mixture is;

%P = total mass of fat in mixture/total mass of mixture × 100%

%P = F/T × 100% ….....1

Mass of fat in mixture is;

She purchases 5 pounds of ground beef which is 15% fat

F1 = 15% of 5 pounds = 0.15×5 pounds

F1 = 0.75 pound

and combines it with 7 pounds of ground turkey which is only 3% fat

F2 = 3% of 7 pounds = 0.03 × 7

F2 = 0.21 pound

Total mass F = F1 + F2

F = 0.75+0.21

F = 0.96 pound

Total mass of mixture T = 5 + 7 pounds

T = 12 pounds.

From equation 1,

%P = F/T × 100%

%P = 0.96/12 × 100%

%P = 0.08×100%

%P = 8%

the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%

Using graph paper, determine the line described by the given point and slope. Click to show the correct graph below. (0, -2) and
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

y = -(5/2)x -2

Explanation:

The general formula for a straight line is y – mx + b.

The image below shows the graph of the line.

Step 1. <em>Calculate the slope</em>.

Slope = m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

x₁ = 0; y₁ = -2

x₂ = -2; y₂ = 3     Calculate m

m = [3-(-2)]/(-2-0)

m = (3+2)/(-2)

m = 5/(-2)

m = -5/2

Step 2. <em>Calculate the y-intercept </em>

When x = 0, y = 2.

The y-intercept (b) is at y = -2

Step 3. <em>Write the equation </em>for the graph

y = mx + b

y = -(5/2)x - 2

The sum of the lengths of two opposite sides of the circumscribed quadrilateral is 12 cm, the length of a radius of the circle i
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

60cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that is a circumscribing quadrilateral, rather than one that is circumscribed. It is also called a "tangential quadrilateral" and its area is ...

 K = sr

where s is the semi-perimeter, the sum of opposite sides, and r is the radius of the incircle.

 K = (12 cm) (5cm) = 60 cm²

_____

A quadrilateral can only be tangential if pairs of opposite sides add to the same length. Hence the given sum is the semiperimeter.

Which of the three following graphs display the same data? i. a bar graph titled county voter turnout (thousands) has year on th
ivann1987 [24]

The graphs that display the same data are a.  I and II

<h3>What is Data Representation?</h3>

This refers to the different ways in which a set of data are displayed in a certain place such as a bar graph, frequency table, line graph, etc.

Hence, we can see that from the evaluation of the data, there is the use of the same data in I and II as the bar and line graphs contain the same country voter turnout.

Match the inequality to the graph of its solution.<br> a. n/4 ≤ -1<br> b. -10 ≥ -100<br> c. 5x ≥ 20
postnew [5]
<span>a. n/4 ≤ -1

Multiply both sides by 4 => n ≤ - 4, which is all the real numbers less or equal than - 4.

That in the real number line is all the numbers to the left of - 4 (including  -4)

The matching graph is the B.


b. -10n ≥ -100

Divide both sides by - 10 => n ≤ 10

That is all the real numbers less or equal than 10.

In the real number line it is all the numbers to the left of 10, including 10.

So, the matching graph is the A.


c. 5x ≥ 20

Divide both sides by 5 => x ≥ 4

That is all the real numbers greater or equal to 4.

In the real number line it is all the numbers to the right of 4, including 4.

The matching graph is C.</span>
