According to Chef Robert Sevaly, pressure cookers "really are a timesaver, cutting your cooking time by three-fourths." If a per

son spends an average of 10 hours cooking per week, how much cooking time would be saved in a month and a year, respectively? If an average household spends 20$ in natural gas for cooking per month, how much money would be saved by using a pressure cooker in one year?

Answer:

1. Cooking time saved in a month = 42.86 * 3/4 = 32 hours

2. Cooking time saved in a year = 520 * 3/4 = 390 hours

3. Since the household saves 390 hours in a year using pressure cooker, it will then save 390 * $2 = $780

Step-by-step explanation:

Hours spent cooking on average per week = 10 hours

Hours spend cooking on average per day = 1.43 (10/7), assuming 7 days in a week

Total hours spent on average per month = 42.86 (30 * 10/7), assuming 30 days in a month

Total hours spent on average per year = 520 (52 * 10) hours, assuming 52 weeks in a year.

Savings in time = 3/4

Therefore, the cooking time saved in a month = 42.86 * 3/4 = 32 hours

And the cooking time saved in a year = 520 * 3/4 = 390 hours

If on the average, a household spends $20 in natural gas for cooking per month, the money it would save by using a pressure cooker in a year will be equal to:

Cost of each hour of cooking without pressure cooker = $20/10 = $2 per hour

Since the household saves 390 hours in a year using pressure cooker, it will then save

= Hours saved multiplied by hourly cost of gas

= 390 * $2

= $780

CAN SOMEONE PLZZ HELP ME THE LAST QUESTION PLZZZZZ?????
MissTica

first is proportional. y is 1 and 1/4 times x

second is not proportional.

reason? divided any y value by its corresponding x value and you'll keep getting 1.25, or 1 and 1/4. and the second one is not proportional because dividing the y values by their corresponding x value will give different answers.

maybe im wrong maybe im right you choose to trust me or not.

Find each missing angle measure
timurjin [86]

Answer: angle 1=129 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - 99 - 30 = 51

all the angles of a triangle should add up to be 180 degrees

51+99+30=180

angle 1 is supplementary to the angle that is 51 degrees so it would be 129 degrees. 180-51=129
