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

4. Cross multiply (10•6) (15•n) 15n=60 you do the opposite operation so instead of multiply 15•n you divided 15 from n. And what u do on one side u do on both. So divide 15 from 60 and u get 4.

I need help to find the measures and equation pls.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Equation: 7x + 8x = 180

x = 12

∠CBA = 84

∠CFH = 96

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that ∠CBA = ∠CFE and ∠CBD = ∠CFH.

We know that the sums of two angles on a straight line are going to be equal to 180.

∠CBA = 7x

∠CFH = 8x

To find the value of x, we must do the following:

7x + 8x = 180

15x = 180

15x/15 = 180/15

x = 12

Now we just substitute to find the angle measures:

∠CBA = 7 · 12 = 84

∠ CFH = 8 · 12 = 96

If f(g(x)) = (x-3)^4<br> what is f(x) and g(x)
Lelechka [254]

One possible solution is

f(x) = x^4

g(x) = x-3

Since

f(x) = x^4

f(g(x)) = ( g(x) )^4

f(g(x)) = ( x-3 )^4

=================================================

Another possible solution could be

f(x) = x^2

g(x) = (x-3)^2

Because

f(x) = x^2

f(g(x)) = ( g(x) )^2

f(g(x)) = ( (x-3)^2 )^2

f(g(x)) = (x-3)^(2*2)

f(g(x)) = (x-3)^4
