Once the cake is removed from the oven, it has been exposed to the room temperature of 70°F. After 10 minutes, the cake's temperature decreased to 200°F, which is 150°F cooler than it initially was (350°F). As for the what is asked, 90°F is 260°F cooler than its original temperature (350°F).

This problem can be expressed in a ratio: 
10mins:150<span>°F = N:260</span><span>°F
where N is how long it will take for</span><span> cake to cool to 90°F

</span>150<span>°FxN=10x260
</span>150N=2600
N=2600/150
N=17.33
N<span>≈20 minutes

Thus, it takes approximately 20 minutes </span><span>for the cake to cool to 90°F</span>

In a family, each brother has as many sisters as brothers, but each sister has twice as many brothers as she has sisters. How ma
daser333 [38]

Answer:

4 brothers and 3 sisters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of brothers and y be the number of sisters in the family.

1.  Each brother has x-1 brothers and y sisters. If each brother has as many sisters as brothers, then

x-1=y.

2. Each sister has y-1 sisters and x brothers. If each sister has twice as many brothers as she has sisters, then

2(y-1)=x.

3. Solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-1=y\\ \\2(y-1)=x\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow 2(y-1)-1=y,\\ \\2y-2-1=y,\\ \\2y-y=2+1,\\ \\y=3.

Then

x=y+1=3+1=4.
