Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total 'halwa' made = 1

Divided into four equal portion = 1/4

Arrival of an unexpected guest = 1/5

By what percentage has each family member's share been reduced:

Change in the sharing proportion:

Previous share ratio - new sharing ratio

(1/4 - 1/5) = (5 - 4) / 20 = 1/20

That means total reduction in the sharing = 1/ 20

Since each member comes contributed equally:

Reduction in each family member's share ;

(1 / 20) ÷ 4

(1 / 20) * 1/4 = 1/ 80

Percentage reduction:

(Reduction / original share) * 100%

[(1/80) ÷ (1/4)] * 100

(1/80 * 4/1) * 100%

(1/20) * 100%

= 5%

Reduction in each family members share = 5%

gary mixes a solution using two types of concentration of sale: .70 gallons of 5% and .30 gallons of 22% salt. what is the conce
wolverine [178]

Answer:

10.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is calculate the total volume of the solution when mixing them would be:

0.7 + 0.3 = 1

Now, we have that the resulting concentration (x) would be equal to the sum of the multiplications between the volumes and the concentrations to be mixed, as follows:

x * 1 = 0.7 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.22

x = 0.035 + 0.066

x = 0.101

That is, the concentration of the resulting mixture would be 10.1% (0.101 * 100)

37 pumpkins each weighs 48 ounces
KiRa [710]
37 * 48 = 3 * (c  - 140 )+ 2 *(c  - 140 ) + ( c - 140 ) =>
37 * 48 = 6 * ( c - 140 ) =>
37 * 48 / 6 = c - 140 =>
37 * 8 = c - 140 =>
296 = c - 140 => 
c = 296 + 140 =>
c = 436 ounces.

1. Jasmine drives every morning to her office that is 12 miles from her home
Elanso [62]

Answer:

1. Her time in minutes is 720/s minutes

2. Given her time to be 20 minutes, her speed is 36 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically,

Distance = speed * time

In this question, we want to calculate time;

So time = distance/speed

times = 12 miles/s mph = 12/s hours

Now we want our answer in minutes

Kindly recall that 60 minutes = 1 hour

So 12/s hours will be 12/s * 60 = 720/s minutes

2. Since she drives from home to the office in in 20 minutes, we want to calculate her speed in mph

From the time calculated above i.e 720/s

We can equate 20 = 720/s

20s = 720

s = 720/20

s = 36 mph
