A dietitian at a hospital wants a patient to have a meal that has 126 grams of protein, 82 grams of carbohydrates, and 101.5 mil

ligrams of vitamin A. The hospital food
service tells the dietitian that the dinner for today is salmon steak, baked eggs, and acorn squash. Each serving of salmon steak has 40 grams of protein, 20 grams of
carbohydrates, and 1 milligram of vitamin A Each serving of baked eggs contains 20 grams of protein, 2 grams of carbohydrates, and 25 milligrams of vitamin A Each
serving of acorn squash contains 3 grams of protein, 15 grams of carbohydrates, and 37 milligrams of vitamin A. How many servings of each food should the dietitian
provide for the patient?

<h3>The dietitian provide 2.5 numbers of salmon steak, 1 baked egg and 2 acorn squash for the patient. </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of salmon steak = x

Number of baked eggs =y

and Number of acorn squash =z

Total amount of protein that is provided to the patient =40 x +20 y+3 z

Total amount of carbohydrates that is provided to the patient = 20 x+2y +15z

Total amount of vitamin A that is provided to the patient = x+25 y+ 37z

According to the problem,

40x+20y+3z=126,     20x+2y+15z=82    and   x+25y+37z= 101.5

Solving the above equations

we get x= 2.5 ,y= 1 and z=2

So ,  The dietitian provide 2.5 numbers of salmon steak, 1 baked egg and 2 acorn squash for the patient.

Answer:

Triangle DEF is a right, scalene triangle. It is not isosceles, obtuse, acute, or equilateral

Step-by-step explanation:

All we know about m and n are that they are not equal to each other and they are positive. This was given in the problem. See image. Once it is graphed you can see on the graph the lengths of DE and EF. Use Pythagorean theorem to calculate DF. see image.

DE is horizontal and EF is vertical, so you can see their slopes or calculate using a formula. Calculate the slope of DF. Slope is y-y on top of a fraction and x-x on the bottom of the fraction.

Lastly, use midpoint formula to find the midpoints. Average the x's and average the y's to find the x- and y-coordinates of the midpoints. See image.

Finally, DEF is a right triangle. The graph as well as the slopes show us that DE and EF form a right angle. So DEF must be a right triangle (and not obtuse nor acute) We were told that m doesNOT equal n, so the triangle cannot have two equal sides, so it cannot be isosceles (2 equal sides) nor equilateral (3 equal sides) It has 3 different lengths of sides; that is called scalene.

How to get 2|5 of 84.78
Elza [17]

You can see 84.78 as \frac{84.78}{1}.

So, you can see the problem as \frac{84.78}{1} * \frac{2}{5}

First, multiply all the numerators together and all the denominators together.

You end up with \frac{169.56}{5}

=33.912
