Last year, a certain company began producing soup A and sold all of the soup A that it produced. To make all of the soup A produ

ced last year, raw ingredients were cooked until their weight was 30% less than their original weight, then a total of 28 kilograms of herbs and spices were added just before soup A was packaged in cans. Did the company sell more than 4,800 cans of soup A last year?

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.

William has 24 24 cans of fruit and 60 60 cans of vegetables that he will be putting into bags for a food drive. He wants each b

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of fruits cans = 24

Number of veggies cans = 60

William will have to distribute them in equal bags with equal cans of fruits and vegetables respectively.

For this:

We have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 24 and 60.

GCF by listing out the factors method.

Factors of 24 : $1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24$

Factors of 60 : $1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60$

So,

The greatest common factor of $24$ and $60$ is $12$ .

The number of bags William will used for equal distribution = $12$

Now,

We have to distribute the veggies and fruits in equal number of cans to these $12$ bags.

Number of fruits cans used in each bag = $\frac{24}{12} = 2$

Number of vegetables can used in each bag = $\frac{60}{12} =5$

We can say that:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.

A huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 454545 square kilometers. Because of changing weather patterns,

guajiro [1.7K]

We have been given that a huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 45 square kilo-meters. The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilo-meters, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation $A=45e^{-0.05t}$ .

To find the time it will take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters, we will equate $A=15$ and solve for t as:

$15=45e^{-0.05t}$

$\frac{15}{45}=\frac{45e^{-0.05t}}{45}$

$\frac{1}{3}=e^{-0.05t}$

Now we will switch sides:

$e^{-0.05t}=\frac{1}{3}$

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

$\text{ln}(e^{-0.05t})=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

Using natural log property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$-0.05t\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$-0.05t\cdot (1)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$-0.05t=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})}{-0.05}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-0.05\cdot 100}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-5}$

$t=-\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 20$

$t=-(\text{ln}(1)-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20$

$t=-(0-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20$

$t=20\text{ln}(3)$

Therefore, it will take $20\text{ln}(3)$ years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.

What is the inverse of the function f(x)= 6x-5/x+9

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Inverse of -5-9x/x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

1: Interchange the variables x and y.

x=6y-5/y+9

2: Solve x = 6y-5/y+9 for y

3: Multiply both sides by y+9

4: Simplify and Expand

5: Subtract 9x from both sides.

6: Simplify and Subtract y from both sides then Simplify again

7: Divide both sides by x-6

Answer: Inverse of -5-9x/x-6
