George found that he blinked 85 times in 15 minutes. At this rate, how many seconds passed during 51 blinks?

1 answer:

6 0

First convert the 15 minutes to seconds
60 sec-= 1 minute
900 sec = 15 minutes

ratio and proportion

85 blinks/900 sec= 51 blinks/ x seconds

cross multiply
85x=45900
divide by 85
x= 540 seconds
hope this helps

What is the percentage of cacao in hot chocolate which is made of 480 grams of milk and 20 grams of cacao?

galina1969 [7]

Given that the hot chocolate is made of 480 grams of milk and 20 grams of cacao.

We need to determine the percentage of cacao in hot chocolate.

<u>The percentage of cacao:</u>

The total grams of hot chocolate can be determined by adding the total grams of milk and the total grams of cacao.

Total grams of hot chocolate = Grams of Milk + Grams of cacao

Total grams of hot chocolate = 480 + 20 = 500 grams.

Thus, the total grams of hot chocolate is 500 grams.

Now, we shall find the percentage of cacao.

The percentage of cacao is given by

$\frac{100}{500}\times 20$

Simplifying, the values, we get,

$\frac{2000}{500}=4\%$

Thus, the percentage of cacao is 4%
