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.

Which explicit formula can be used to find the accounts balance at the beginning of year 3?
balandron [24]

The formula for the amount A in an account with principal P and interest rate r compounded annually for t years is

... A(t) = P(1+r)^t

You want to find A when P=400, r=0.05, and t=3. Substituting those values gives you

... A(3) = 400·(1 +0.05)³

The appropriate choice is

... A. A(3) = 400·(1 +0.05)³

ryan had 1/2 pound of chocolate .he divides,it into 4 equal portions.Enter the amount of chocolate ,in pounds
brilliants [131]
To divide 1/2 by 4, you can treat it as (1/2)/(4/1), and to divide fractions you flip the second fraction and multiply, so:

(1/2)*(1/4)=1/8
So each portion of chocolate was 1/8 pounds.
