10-kg batch of a food product has a moisture content of175% dry basis. Calculate the amount of water to beremoved from the produ

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

4.9kg of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry basis is the percentage ratio of moisture amount to amount of dry product which is 175%

Ratio of moisture amount to dry product = 175 : 100

Mass of food product = 10kg

Amount of moisture in food product = 175/175+100 × 10kg = 175/275 × 10kg = 6.4kg

Wet basis is the percentage ratio of the moisture amount to the total weight of material which is 15%

Ratio of moisture amount to total weight of material is 15 : 100

Amount of moisture in food product = 15/100 × 10kg = 1.5kg

Amount of water contained in the final product = 1.5kg

Amount of other components in the food product = 10kg - 6.4kg = 3.6kg

Total amount = 1.5kg + 3.6kg = 5.1kg

% of water = 1.5kg/5.1kg × 100 = 29%

A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a pers

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A person who watches 8.5 hours of TV can do 30.4 sit ups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression equation is used to predict or estimate the value of the response (or dependent) variables using the information about the explanatory (or predictor) variables.

The general form of a regression equation is:

$y=ax+b$

Here,

y = dependent variable

x = independent variable

a = intercept

b = slope

The regression equation representing the relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of sit ups a person can do (y) is:

$y=-0.74x+36.359$

Compute the number of sit ups a person who watches 8.5 hours of TV can do as follows:

$y=-0.74x+36.359$

$=(-0.74\times 8.5)+36.359\\=-6.29+36.659\\=30.369\\\approx 30.4$

Thus, a person who watches 8.5 hours of TV can do 30.4 sit ups.

What is 11 1/2 + 10 11/16=

ahrayia [7]

Hey!

To solve this equation, we must first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. To do that we'll multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the total to the numerator.

Original Equation :

$11\frac{1}{2} + 10\frac{11}{16} = ?$

New Equation {Converted Mixed Numbers Into Improper Fractions} :

$\frac{23}{2} + \frac{171}{16} = ?$

Now that we've successfully changed our equation, we'll move onto the next step. Next we'll have change the fractions one more time so that the denominators are the same. To do that we'll multiply two by eight to get sixteen. We'll also be multiplying the top portion of the fraction by eight, because whatever you do to the bottom must also be done to the top; And vise versa.

Fraction Conversion :

$\frac{23*8}{2*8} = \frac{184}{16}$

So, now that we have our new fraction we can go ahead and plug that into our equation so we can start adding. Remember, we don't add the denominators, just the numerators.

Old Equation :

$\frac{23}{2} + \frac{171}{16} = ?$

New Equation {Input New Fraction With Common Denominator} :

$\frac{184}{16} +\frac{171}{16} = ?$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :

$\frac{355}{16}$

Now I'm not exactly sure how your instructor will accept your answer, but most prefer the final answer to be in the simplest form. In other words, they don't want it in the form of an improper fraction. They'd most likely rather have it as a mixed number.

New Solution {Converted to a Mixed Number} :

$22\frac{3}{16}$
