Answer:

4.9kg of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry basis is the percentage ratio of moisture amount to amount of dry product which is 175%

Ratio of moisture amount to dry product = 175 : 100

Mass of food product = 10kg

Amount of moisture in food product = 175/175+100 × 10kg = 175/275 × 10kg = 6.4kg

Wet basis is the percentage ratio of the moisture amount to the total weight of material which is 15%

Ratio of moisture amount to total weight of material is 15 : 100

Amount of moisture in food product = 15/100 × 10kg = 1.5kg

Amount of water contained in the final product = 1.5kg

Amount of other components in the food product = 10kg - 6.4kg = 3.6kg

Total amount = 1.5kg + 3.6kg = 5.1kg

% of water = 1.5kg/5.1kg × 100 = 29%

Dana is attaching a shelf to a wall and needs the shelf to be perpendicular to the wall. How many degrees should the shelf be re
sergey [27]

The shelf must be at right angles (90 degrees) relative to the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dana concern is that the shelf must be perpendicular to the wall. This means that the angle between the wall and the Dana’s shelf must be 90 degrees.

The term “perpendicular” is sometimes used in the mathematical terminology for the angle of 90 degrees. Hence, the Dana’s shelf must be at 90 degrees relative to the wall.  It is to be noted here that straight lines make an angle of 180 degrees. Since the shelf is at 90 degrees, either side of the shelf would be at 90 degrees to the wall.
