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%

Samaria has 6 more than three times as many pieces of candy as sydney. samaria has 36 pieces of candy. how many does sydney have
lesya [120]

For this case we have:

x: Number of candies that Sydney has

The equation to find the amount of Sydney sweets is given by:

3x + 6 = 36

We want to clear x:

3x = 36-63x = 30

x = \frac{30}{3}

x = 10

So, Sydney has 10 candies

Answer:

Sydney has 10 candies

Construct a linear equation for the table. What is the slope of the line
Klio2033 [76]

We have points (-3, 4), (-1, 2), (4, -3) and (6,-5)

Let's verify it's a line by calculating the slopes between successive points.

Slope is change in y over change in x.

(2 - 4)/(-1 - -3) = -2/2 = -1

(-3 - 2)/(4 - -1) = -5/5 = -1

(-5 - -3)/(6 - 4) = -2/2 =-1

Yup.  We have a line of slope -1 through point (-1, 2)

y - 2 = -1(x - -1)

y  = -x - 1 + 2

y = -x + 1

That's the linear equation for the table.  

Answer:  Linear equation: y = -x + 1          slope = -1

Rectangle PQRS is rotated 90 counterclockwise about the origin what are the coordinates of point Q
inna [77]
You have not provided the diagram/coordinates for point Q, therefore, I cannot provide an exact answer.
However, I can help you with the concept.

When rotating a point 90° counter clock-wise, the following happens:
coordinates of the original point: (x,y)
coordinates of the image point: (-y,x)

Examples:
point (2,5) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-5,2)

point (1,9) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-9,1)

point (7,4) when rotated 90° counter clock-wise, the coordinates of the image would be (-4,7)

Therefore, for the given point Q, all you have to do to get the coordinates of the image is apply the transformation:
(x,y) .............> are changed into.............> (-y,x)

Hope this helps :)
