Answer:

No, they didn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you consider that the 30% of the ingredients were the 28 kilograms of herbs and spices they added after cooking raw ingredients and before packing the soup in cans, then, the raw ingredients represent 70% of the total weight, so:

30% ---- 28 kg (herbs and spices)

70% ---- x= 70*28/30= 65,33 kg (raw ingredients)

So the total weight of soup produced and sold were: 28 kg + 65,33 kg = 93,33 kg

We can consider that a can of soup is 10 ounces = 0,28 kg Aprox.

If 0,28 kg = 1 can of soup,

then 93,33 kg = 333,32 cans of soup (= 93,33 kg/0,28 kg)

So they didn't sell more than 4800 cans of soup A last year.

How do I figure out what 1/10 of 6000 is?
alisha [4.7K]
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,

1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)

Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.

So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.

Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.

Quadrilateral jklm is a rhombus. the diagonals intersect at n. if the measure of angle jkl is 104°, find the measure of angle jk
Paul [167]
The diagram of rhombus JKLM is shown in the diagram below

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and its diagonals intersect perpendicular to each other (makes 90° angles). Opposite angles are equal (the same with a parallelogram). Each diagonal bisects the angle at J, K, L, and M equally

If angle JKL is 104°, the measurement of angle JKN is 104÷2=51°

What happens when x is a very small negative number?
marshall27 [118]

With this line, we see that when x is a small negative number, F(x) is a very large negative number, or B.

Remember that F(x) is the same as y. And looking at the pattern of the line, the greater the negative x is, the smaller the negative y is.

TEA [102]

Answer

\frac{ba-b^{2} }{ab-a^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1-\frac{b}{a} }{1-\frac{a}{b} } = \frac{\frac{a-b}{a}}{\frac{b-a}{b}} = \frac{b(a-b)}{a(b-a)}

\frac{ba -b^{2} }{ab-a^{2} }
