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.

A Monopoly player claims that the probability of getting a 2 when rolling a​ six-sided die is one sixth because the die is equal
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

<h2>It is Theoretical probability.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability determines the likelihood of some incidents to happen.

Theoretical probability is the ratio between the total number of possible outcomes and the desired outcome.

Here, the desired outcome is getting a 2 that is only one desired outcome, where as total possible outcomes are 6. Here, the probability of getting a 2 is \frac{1}{6}.

Empirical probability depends on observance. In the given question, nothing related to observance of the given incident has mentioned, hence it is not empirical probability.

Marty read 4 times as many pages as Nelson and Jennifer COMBINED. Marty read 1,860 pages.

In total, after dividing Marty's total by 4, Jennifer and Nelson both read a total of 465 pages.

After subtracting Nelson's 240, Jennifer is then found to have read 225 pages.

B would be the best viable option, as it clearly shows that 240+?x4=1,860, which it does.

Hope this helped. Khan Academy is a great resource for any learner. :)
