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:

solution given:

B.

CE=2×2=4[base side is double to the line of mid point]

AB=15/2=7.5[b is a mid point]

m<AEC=75°[ corresponding angle]

5.

given:

BD=x+1

CE=x+10

we have

2BD=CE

2(x+1)=x+10

2x+2=x+10

2x-x=10-2

x=8

You are building a scale model of a fishing boat. The boat is 62 ft long and 23 ft wide. The
Temka [501]

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You are building a scale model of a fishing boat

  • The boat is 62 ft long
  • The boat is 23 ft wide
  • The model will be 14 in long

We need to find how wide should it be

∵ The boat is 62 feet long

∵ The model of the boat is 14 inches long

- That means 14 inches represents 62 feet

By using the ratio method

→ Actual (ft)    :    Model (in)

→ 62               :    14

→ 23               :     x

By using cross multiplication

∵ 62 × x = 23 × 14

∴ 62 x = 322

- Divide both sides by 62 to find x

∴ x ≅ 5.194

∵ x represents the wide of the model

∴ The wide of the model is approximately 5.194 inches

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches
