A cake manufacturer boxes Swiss chocolate and German chocolate cakes at one site. A box of Swiss chocolate cake contains 0.55 lb

of a sugar mixture and 0.45 lb of flour. A box of German chocolate cake contains 0.59 lb of the sugar mixture and 0.41 lb of flour. Each day at this site, the company has available 2,300 lb of the sugar mixture and 1,700 lb of flour. If all the ingrediates are utilized how many boxes of each type of cake can be made each day?

Answer:

2,500 German chocolate cake boxes.

1,500 Swiss chocolate cake boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'S' be the number of Swiss chocolate cakes boxed and 'G' the number of German cholocate cakes boxed. If all of the available ingredients are used:

0.55*S +0.59*G = 2,300\\0.45*S+0.41*G = 1,700

Solving the linear system above:

(0.55 *S +0.59*G)- \frac{0.55}{0.45} (0.45*S+0.41*G)= 2,300-\frac{0.55}{0.45}*1,700*\\0.088888*G = 222.222\\G=2,500\\S =\frac{2,300-2,500*0.59}{0.55}\\S=1500

2,500 German chocolate cake boxes and 1,500 Swiss chocolate cake boxes can be made each day.

The radius r of a sphere is increasing at a constant rate of 0.04 centimeters per second. (Note: The volume of a sphere with rad
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The rate of the volume increase will be \frac{dV}{dt}=50.27 cm^{3}/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the derivative with respect to time on each side of the volume equation.

\frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi R^{2}\frac{dR}{dt}

Now, we just need to put all the values on the rate equation.

We know that:

dR/dt is 0.04 cm/s  

And we need to know what is dV/dt when R = 10 cm.

Therefore using the equation of the volume rate:

\frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi 10^{2}0.04

\frac{dV}{dt}=50.27 cm^{3}/s

I hope it helps you!

Serggg [28]
$2320 - $100 =$2220 .
$2220 - $200 =$2020 (that was emeralds)
$2020 - $300 = $1720 (diamonds )
$1720 - $200 - $200 = 1320
$1320 - 300 = 1020

Using the figure of the bullseye above, what is the probability that a shooter will hit the 3rd ring? Express your answer as a p
melisa1 [442]
The probability of hitting the third ring is the same as finding what percentage is the area of the third ring out of the total area of the board.

The area of the third ring = The total area of the board - The area of the second circle.

Refer to the diagram below
The diameter for the whole circle = 32 in
The radius = 16 in
The area of the whole circle = π(16)² = 256π

The diameter for the second circle = 22 in
The radius = 11 in
The area of the second circle = π(11)² = 121π

The area of the third ring = 256π - 121π = 135π

Area of the third ring as a percentage of the total area = \frac{135 \pi }{256 \pi } *100 = 52.7%
