So we know that 22% of the mass off the chocolate bars is pecans, and that 4.5kg of pecans were used. To find the mass of nutty chocolate bars made with 4.5kg of pecans we can divide the 4.5 by 22 to find 1% of the weight of nutty chocolate bars produced, then multiply it by 100 to find the full weight in kg.

So 4.5/22= 0.205 (3dp), then 0.205x100=20.5kg of nutty chocolate bars produced.

Now to convert the kgs of chocolate bars to lbs, we multiply by 2.205 (as there is approximately 2.205 lbs to 1 kg).

So 2.205x20.5kg=45.203 lbs (3dp) of nutty chocolate bars produced on Tuesday.

With compound interest, what happens when you start compounding more and more frequently?
VLD [36.1K]
Your money grows faster because the interest is added back into the principle and then the next time it compounds you get interest on the new principle amount.  So for example, you deposit $100 in an account that gets 5% interest compounded semiannually. The first time it compounds you get $5 added to your account so your new balance is $105.  The next time it compounds you get 5% on $105 so you get $5.25 added and so on.  If this is only happening semi-annually that would be all you get for the year.  But if it happens quarterly you would get would get deposits of $5.51 and $5.79 as well.  If it compounds monthly or even daily your money would grow more and more.  Hope this helps.

How do i Solve: 3x2−6x−12=0 ?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1 + root 5, 1 - root 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean 3x^2-6x-12=0.

First, note that you can divide both sides by 3. You get:

x^2-2x-4=0

Use the quadratic equation.

x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt{4+16}}{2}=\frac{2\pm2\sqrt{5}}{2}=1\pm\sqrt{5}

Therefore, x=1 + root 5, 1 - root 5

blondinia [14]
N = 20, the number of questions
p = 1/5 = 0.2, the probability of making a correct guess
q = 1 - p = 0.8, the probability of making an incorrect guess.
Expected success  = 60% or 6 of 10.

From the binomial distribution,
P(6 of 10) = ₁₀C₆ p⁶q⁴
                 = 210*0.2⁶*0.8⁴ = 0.0055
