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 :)

3/5 is smaller then 3/4(you can tell from denominators) 5/8 is smaller then 3/5, and 7/4 is greater then 1, so the only logical one is C. Hope this helped!

A large spherical balloon is being deflated. When the radius of the balloon decreases from 10 ft to 5 ft, approximately how much
Xelga [282]
Volume of a sphere: V=(4/3)πr³
V1=(4/3)π10³
V2=(4/3)π5³
difference: (4/3)π10³-(4/3)π5³=(4/3)π875=3665
the answer is B.<span />

9. Complete the reasons in the proof below.
Arada [10]
For a), this is clearly a given as it is literally to the right of where it says “Given:”
For b), since ON bisects ∠JOH, this means that it splits it into two separate angles - JON and HON, which are similar due to that bisects mean that it splits it equally into two halves
For c), since NO is the same thing as NO, it is equal to itself
For d), since AAS (angle-angle-side) congruence states that if there are two angles that are congruent (proved in a) and b) ) as well as that a side is congruent (proved in c) ), two triangles are congruent
For e), since two triangles are congruent, every side must have one side that it matches up to in the other triangle. As the opposite side of angle H is JO and the opposite side of angle J is OH, and ∠J=∠H, those two are congruent. As JN and HN are the two sides left, they must be congruent.
