Answer:
936 jars of peanut butter contain less peanut butter than usual.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, we need to find how many jars of peanut butter that contain less peanut butter than advertised are produced every hour.
The factory produces 1200 jars of peanut butter every hour
3.25% of those jars have less peanut butter than advertised
So: multiply (the decimal form of the percent) to find the amount of peanut butter jars that contain less peanut butter than advertised.
So the factory produces 39 jars of peanut butter that contain less peanut butter than advertised.
2. Second, we need to find how many jars of peanut butter that contain less peanut butter than advertised in three 8 hour work days.
Lets add these work days together to find the total amount of hours:
So: three 8 hour work days totals to 24 hours
Since the factory produces 39 jars of peanut butter that contain less peanut butter than advertised per hour. Multiply to find the total amount of jars produced in three 8 hour work days.
A total of 936 peanut butter jars are produced in three 8 hour work days that contain less peanut butter than advertised.
3. If you want to double check your work do the following.
Since the factory produces 1200 jars an hour and 24 hours total three 8 hour work days. Multiply
So there is a total of 28800 jars produced in three 8 hour work days.
Then you can multiply 28800 by 3.25% of jars that contain less peanut butter to find the total amount of peanut butter jars that contain less peanut butter in three 8 hour work days.
Answer: The missing length is 120 {option C}
Step-by-step explanation: What we have in the question is a triangle placed on top of another triangle and as shown in the attached diagram we can separate them into triangles BFC and GFH.
A close observation shows that line BC is parallel to line GH. Hence we have two similar triangles, and we can determine their similarity ratios as follows;
BF/FC = GF/FH
Similarly BF/BC = GF/GH
We can also express the following ratio
FC/FH = BC/GH
Therefore to calculate the missing side, which is GF, we can use the ratio
FC/FH = FB/FG
30/100 = 36/FG
By cross multiplication we now have 30 (FG) = 100 (36)
30FG = 3600
Divide both sides of the equation by 30
FG = 120
