Answer:

The weight of mushrooms in order to obtain 12.25 lb of dry mushrooms is:

43.75 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

When you dry mushrooms, they lose 72% of their weight.

Let the actual weight of mushrooms be 'x' lb.

Now the weight of the dried mushrooms is given 12.25 lb.

WE have to find the value of x .

This implies that:

(100-72)% of x=12.25.

⇒ 28% of x=12.25

⇒ \dfrac{28}{100}\times x=12.25\\\\x=\dfrac{12.25\times 100}{28}\\\\x=43.75\ lb

Hence, the weight of mushrooms in order to obtain 12.25 lb of dry mushrooms is:

43.75 lb.

If they lose 72% of their weight, then they are only 28% of the original amount. Let n be the original weight of the mushrooms. Then:
0.28n=12.25
n=12.25/0.28=43.75 lbs of mushrooms necessary to start with

a large school surveys 100 people by taking random samples of 10 teachers and 90 students. what type of sample is this
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Stratified Sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into subpopulations that may differ in important ways. It allows you draw more precise conclusions by ensuring that every subgroup is properly represented in the sample.

To use this sampling method, you divide the population into subgroups (called strata) based on the relevant characteristic (e.g. gender, age range, income bracket, job role).

Based on the overall proportions of the population, you calculate how many people should be sampled from each subgroup. Then you use random or systematic sampling to select a sample from each subgroup.

I hope this helped!

A number is 5 more than 3 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is 33. As an equation, this is written x + 3x + 5 = 3
Cloud [144]

Answer:

x=7, so the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=3x+5=33

Let x=3:

(3)+3(3)+5=3+9+5=17, not 33, so x is not 3

Let x=5:

(5)+3(5)+5=5+15+5=25, not 33, so x is not 5

Let x=7:

(7)+3(7)+5=7+21+5=33, so x=7

Let x=9:

(9)+3(9)+5=9+27+5=41, not 33, so x is not 9

Therefore x=7. Because x represents the smaller number, and the larger number is 3 times the smaller number, the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 3(7)=21.
