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%

Show that x³ + y³ + z³ - 3xyz is a multiple of x+y+z
White raven [17]

x³ + y³ + z³ - 3xyz is a multiple of x+y+z.

<h3>What is a multiple?</h3>

It should be noted that a multiple simply means a number that van be divided by another a certain number if times without a remainder.

Put x + y + z = 0

= x³ + y³ + z³ - 3xyx

= 0(x² + y² + z² - xt - yz - zx)

= x³ + y³ + z³ - 3xyz = 0.

x³ + y³ + z³ = 3xyz

find the work done by a person pushing a 40 pound box up an incline that is 30 degrees above the horizontal and 100 feet long (i
tankabanditka [31]

The work done in pushing the box is 64000 lb-ft²/s²

<h3>How to calculate the work done by the person?</h3>

Since person pushing a 40 pound box up an incline that is 30 degrees above the horizontal and 100 feet long, the work done, W is

W = mgh where

  • m = mass of box = 40 lb,
  • g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s² and
  • h = height of incline = LsinФ where
  • L = length of incline = 100 ft and
  • Ф = angle of incline = 30°

So, W = mgh

W = mgLsinФ

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = mgLsinФ

W = 40 lb × 32 ft/s² × 100 ftsin30°

W = 1280 lb-ft/s² × 100 ft × 0.5

W = 1280 lb-ft/s² × 50 ft

W = 64000 lb-ft²/s²

So, the work done in pushing the box is 64000 lb-ft²/s²
