Answer:

2.2 Million

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we wish to determine what percentage of the tons of apples are used for apple juice. After 20% is mixed with other products, 80% remains. Half of this is used for apple juice; therefore, 40% of the tons of apples is used for apple juice. To calculate 40% of 5.5 million tons, we find 10% and then multiply by four. 10% = 0.55, and 0.55* 4 = 2.2. Thus, 2.2 million tons are used for apple juice.

Answer:

2.2 million tons

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 5.5 million tons is 1.1 million tons. That is how many are mixed with other products. So that would leave you 4.4 million tons of apples.

50% of 4.4 is 2.2 so 2.2 million tons are used for apple juice.

What is the distance between the points (-6,5) and (8,-2) on a coordinate plane?
Naddik [55]

Distance Formula: D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

Apply the points: D=\sqrt{(8-(-6))^2+((-2)-5)^2

Solve: D=\sqrt{(8-(-6))^2+((-2)-5)^2}\\D=\sqrt{14^2+(-7)^2}\\D=\sqrt{169+49}\\D=\sqrt{218}

Since the square root of 218 cannot be simplified, the answer is

D=\sqrt{218}

3x-9 when x=3<br> Solve this
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 9 if x = 3

Substitute:

3(3) - 9 =

9 - 9 = 0

This can be written as a function: f(x) = 3x - 9

f(3) = 3x - 9

f(3) = 3(3) - 9

f(3) = 9 - 9

f(3) = 0

What is T in -5t-2(5t+10)=100​
Alina [70]

Answer:

t=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5t-2(5t+10t)=100

-2 x 5t=-10t

-2 x 10 = -20

-5t-10t-20=100

combine terms and add 20

-15t=120

divide by -15

t=-8
