In one of his orchards, a farmer harvested 270 apples but realized that 80 of them were unfit for consumption because they were

either overripe or ruined by insects. What percentage of apples were actually good for consumption?

Answer: $70.37\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the percentage of apples that were actually good for consumption.

You know that total number of apples the farmer harvested was 270 apples.

Then, you can identify that 270 apples represents the $100\%$

You know that 80 of them were unfit for consumption, so the number of apples that were good for consumption was:

$270\ apples-80\ apples=190\ apples$

Then, you can set up the following proportion in order to find the percentage of apples that were actually good for consumption:

$\frac{100}{270}=\frac{x}{190}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$(190)(\frac{100}{270})=x\\\\x=70.37\%$

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

1. The elephant should be given _ fl oz.

2. Every term in Pattern B is 1/4 the corresponding term in Pattern A.

3. 0.9 < 1.1

4. There are 7 tons in 14,000 pounds.

5. There are 17900 Milligrams in 17.9 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. One ton is 2,000 pounds. So you would have to multiply 5.5 x 2,000.

5.5 x 2,000 = 11,000

Then you have to divide 11,000 by 250.

11,000/250 = 44

2. Every term in Pattern B is 4 times less than the term in Pattern A.

3. 0.9 is smaller than 1.1.

4. One ton is 2,000 pounds. 14,000/2,000 is 7 so this would mean that 14,000 pounds is 7 tons.

5. One gram is 1,000 milligrams, so you would have to multiply 17.9 by 1,000. This gives you 17900.

For the function y=3x2: (a) Find the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [3,6]. (b) Find the instant

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Geometrically speaking, the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval by definition of secant line:

$r = \frac{y(b) -y(a)}{b-a}$ (1)

Where:

$a$ , $b$ - Lower and upper bounds of the interval.

$y(a)$ , $y(b)$ - Function exaluated at lower and upper bounds of the interval.

If we know that $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , $a = 3$ and $b = 6$ , then the average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval is:

$r = \frac{3\cdot (6)^{2}-3\cdot (3)^{2}}{6-3}$

$r = 27$

The average rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ over the interval $[3,6]$ is 27.

b) The instantaneous rate of change can be determined by the following definition:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{y(x+h)-y(x)}{h}$ (2)

Where:

$h$ - Change rate.

$y(x)$ , $y(x+h)$ - Function evaluated at $x$ and $x+h$ .

If we know that $x = 3$ and $y = 3\cdot x^{2}$ , then the instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ is:

$y' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{3\cdot (x+h)^{2}-3\cdot x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^{2}-x^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{2\cdot h\cdot x +h^{2}}{h}$

$y' = 6\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} x +3\cdot \lim_{h \to 0} h$

$y' = 6\cdot x$

$y' = 6\cdot (3)$

$y' = 18$

The instantaneous rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ at the value $x = 3$ is 18.
