Answer: 1.12 pounds.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

-The baker’s percentage for raisins in a raisin bread formula is 8%.

-The baker’s percentage for flour is 100%

2. Therefore, the amount of raisins that are needed if 14 pounds of flour are used is:

\frac{(14)(8)}{100}=1.12 pounds

A polygon has the following interior angle , (y+10); (y+20); (y+30); (y+40); (y+50);
MrRissso [65]
Y=78
A polygon has a total of 5 interior angles
In order to find the total amount of angles in a shape you do (the amount of angles - 2)x180 degrees
(5-2(3))180
3x180=540
Add the numbers you know (10+20+30+40+50=150)
540-150=390 and there are 5y altogether so divide 390 by 5 which is 78

The first three terms of an arithmetic sequence are 3k-1, 4k+1, 6k-2. What is the value of k?​
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First three terms of an AP are 3k-1, 4k+1, 6k-2.

First term is 3k-1

For an AP,

a₂-a₁=a₃-a₂

4k+1-(3k-1)=6k-2-(4k+1)

4k+1-3k+1=6k-2-4k-1

k+2=2k-3

Separating like terms,

k-2k=-3-2

-k=-5

k = 5

So, the value of k is 5.

1. The prism-shaped roof has equilateral triangular bases. Create an equation that models the height of one of the roof's triang
Mandarinka [93]
1. Check picture 1. Let the one side of the triangle be a, drop one perpendicular, CD. Then triangle ADB is a right triangle, with hypothenuse a and one side equal to 1/2a. By the Pythegorean theorem, as shown in the picture, the height is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a

2. if a a=25 ft, then the height is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} *25= \frac{1.732}{2}*25= 21. 7 (ft)

3. consider picture 2. Let the length of the roof be l feet.

one side of the prism (the roof) is a rectangle with dimensions a and l, so the area of one side is a*l
the lateral Area of the roof is 3a*l

the area of the equilateral surfaces is 2*( \frac{1}{2} *a* \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}a )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2}

so the total area of the roof is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2} +3al

4. The total area was the 2 triangular surfaces + the 3 equal lateral rectangular surfaces. Now instead of 3 lateral triangular surfaces, we have 2.
So the total area found previously will be decreased by al


5. so the area now is \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2} +2al

6. now a=25 and l=2a=50

Area=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} a^{2} +2al=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} * 25^{2}+2*25*50=25 ^{2}  (\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} +4)=625*4.866

=3041.3 (ft squared)

How do I solve equations with a variable to the power of something (give steps please)
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring will reveal the solution. So we divide the equation by the greatest common factor of the terms and use that factor as the coefficient. In this case the greatest common factor is just x.

2x^2+5x

x(2x+5) so the equation will equal zero when either of those expressions is zero because zero times anything is zero. x=0 and x=-5/2

Jason designs a rectangular sandbox. He models the perimeter of the sandbox using the expression 8l+2, where l is the length of
inn [45]

Answer:

A   .The expression 2l+2(3l+1) shows the width is 1 more than 3 times the length.

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 8l + 2

Length = l

Width:

2w = p - 2l

2w = (8l + 2) - 2l

2w = 6l + 2

w = 3l + 1

Therefor w is 3 times the length plus 1
