Let f be the weight of the fresh coffee, and r be the weight of the roasted coffee. The equation described by the first sentence is

r = f\cdot \cfrac{88}{100} = f\cdot \cfrac{22}{25}

In this case, we know r and want to solve for f: the equation becomes

14225 = f\cdot \cfrac{22}{25}

To solve for f, multiply both sides by 25/22:

14225 \cdot \cfrac{25}{22}= f\cdot \cfrac{22}{25} \cdot \cfrac{25}{22}

f = 14225 \cdot \cfrac{25}{22} = \cfrac{355625}{22} \approx 16164.77

Alright, lets get started.

Let me first share my double, its 14.225 lb or 14225 lb written in question.

I am considering 14.225 lb.

Lets suppose we have x lb coffee before roasting.

As given in question, it loses 12 % of its weight while roasting.

Means the rest weight of coffee after roasting = x - x * 12%

the rest weight of coffee after roasting = x - 0.12 x

the rest weight of coffee after roasting = 0.88 x

As per given in question, the weight after roasting = 14.225 lb

Equalling both

0.88x = 14.225

Dividing by 0.88

0.88x / 0.88 = 14.225 / 0.88

x = 16.1647 lb

Means we need to get 16.1647 lb coffee in order to get 14.225 lb : Answer

Hope it will help.

If 14225 lb is written in question , then calculation will be

x = 14225/0.88 = 16164.77 lb

Hope it will help :)

Answer:

The volume of the marble is 47 ml

The volume of the water is 100 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the marble is equal to the change in water level

so

To find out the volume of the marble subtract 100 ml from 147 ml

147-100=47\ ml

The volume of the water no change

The volume of the water is 100 ml

Sodium chlorate crystals are easy to grow in the shape of cubes by allowing a solution of water and sodium chlorate to evaporate
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

48 mm ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know we have a cube of side x, therefore the volume of that cube will be equal to:

V = x ^ 3, because it is a cube and each side is the same.

Now the derivative of the volume with respect to the length (that is, x) would be:

dV / dx = 3 * (x ^ 2)

They tell us that x takes a value of 4, replacing we have:

dV / dx = 3 * (4 ^ 2) = 48

That is, 48 mm ^ 2 would be the value of dV / dx when x is equal to 4 mm.
