Gerber Product's Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby contains, in each serving, 60 calories and 11 grams of carbohydrates.† Gerber Mang

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

2 servings of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby and 3 servings of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Gerber Product's Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby contains, in each serving, 60 calories and 11 grams of carbohydrates, while Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert contains, in each serving, 80 calories and 21 grams of carbohydrates, and you want to provide your child with 340 calories and 75 grams of carbohydrates, in order to how many servings of each you should use, the following calculation has to be made:

(80 x 5) + (60 x 0) --- (21 x 5) + (11 x 0) = 400 --- 105

(80 x 4) + (60 x 1) --- (21 x 4) + (11 x 1) = 380 --- 95

(80 x 3) + (60 x 2) --- (21 x 3) + (11 x 2) = 360 --- 85

(80 x 2) + (60 x 3) --- (21 x 2) + (11 x 3) = 340 --- 75

Therefore, 2 servings of Gerber Mixed Cereal for Baby and 3 servings of Gerber Mango Tropical Fruit Dessert should be used.

Find the value of x, which makes the area of this triangle equal 72.

Ghella [55]

Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5

Answer B Im confused

Finger [1]

Answer:

120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

interior angle of regular polygon = [ ( n − 2 ) × 180 ] / n

n = number of sides

hence, in b), n = 6

interior angle of regular polygon = [ ( 6 − 2 ) × 180 ] / 6 = 120

Over the last three evenings, Donna received a total of 129 phone calls at the call center. The third evening, she received 3 ti

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Number of calls received in 1st evening = 24

Number of calls received in 2nd evening = 33

Number of calls received in 3rd evening = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

number of calls received in first evening be "x"

number of calls received in 2nd evening be "y"

number of calls received in 3rd evening be "z"

Total, in 3 evenings, we have 129 phone calls, so we can write:

x + y + z = 129

3rd evening, 3 times as first evening. We can write:

z = 3x

2nd evening, 9 MORE THAN FIRST. So we can write:

y = 9 + x

Now we replace 2nd and 3rd equation in 1st equation to get:

x + y + z = 129

x + 9 + x + 3x = 129

Now, first, we solve for x:

$x + 9 + x + 3x = 129\\5x+9=129\\5x=120\\x=24$

Solving for y:

y = 9 + x

y = 9 + 24

y = 33

Solving for z:

z = 3x

z = 3(24)

z = 72

Thus,

Number of calls received in 1st evening = 24

Number of calls received in 2nd evening = 33

Number of calls received in 3rd evening = 72

The height of an object from a distance

olga55 [171]

Y = height
x = distance from tower

tan(19.9) = y/x

tan(21.8) = y/(x-50) ( x is 50 feet closer so subtract 50 from x)

find the tan of the angles:
tan19.9 = 0.362
tan21.8 = 0.400

replace those values in the equations:
0.362 = y /x
0.400 = y / (x-50)

rewrite to solve for height:
0.362x = y
0.400(x-50) = y distribute the 0.400 and rewrite as 0.400x-20 =y

now solve:

0.362x = 0.400x-20

add 20 to each side:
0.362x +20 = 0.400x

subtract 0.362x from each side:

20 = 0.038x

divide both sides by 0.038
x = 20 / 0.038 = 526.3 feet

now that x is known replace x in the original equation and solve for y:

tan19.9 = y /x

0.362 = y / 526.3
y = 0.362 x 526.3
y = 190.5

the height of the tower is 190.5 feet
