For this case we have the following data:

The recipe for cookies requires:

  • 2 pounds of flour
  • 0.75 pounds of butter

If the flour becomes the main ingredient, it will be represented by 100%.

Now, you want to know the percentage of butter, taking into account that the flour represents 100%. For this, we use a rule of three:

2 pounds of flour         ------> 100%

0.75 pounds of butter ------> x

Where x represents % butter, since flour represents 100%.

So, we have:

x =\frac{0.75*100}{2}

x = \frac{75}{2}

x = 37.5%

Thus, butter represents 37.5% of the recipe.

Answer:

37.5%

Note:
The area of a circle with radius r is πr².
An entire circle has a central angle of 360°.

For the sector with radius = (3+4) = 7cm and a central angle of 120°, the area is
A_{1}= \frac{120}{360}*(49 \pi ) = \frac{49}{3} \pi \, cm^{2}

For the sector with radius =  3 cm and a central angle of 120°. the area is
A_{2}= \frac{120}{360} *(9 \pi ) = 3 \pi  \, cm^{2}

The area of the shaded sector (see the figure) is
A=A_{1}-A_{2} = ( \frac{49}{3} -3) \pi  =  \frac{40}{3} \pi  \, cm^{2}

Answer: \frac{40}{3}  \pi  \, cm^{2}

If cheese is $4.40 per kilogramme, what should I pay for 200 grammes?
Verizon [17]
1 kg is 1,000 grams.


200 grams are 1/5 of 1000 grams, that is 1/5 of 1 kg.

Thus 200 g= 1/5 kg = 0.2 kg.



      1 kg of cheese is $4.40,

so 0.2 kg of cheese is 0.2kg x $4.40/1kg=4.40 x 0.2 $= 0.88$


Answer: $0.88

What is the length of leg s of the triangle below?
Alchen [17]

The question is not well formatted. A ell formatted version of the question type is attached and solved below :

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Taking the angle 45°

From trigonometry :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Opposite = s ; hypotenus = 10√2

Sin 45 = s / 10√2

Recall :

Sin 45 = 1/√2

We have ;

1/√2 = s / 10√2

s = 10√2 * 1/√2

s = 10√2 / √2

s = 10
