Answer:

Adam needs 9/8 of a 5oz serving of shrimps (which equals to 5.625 oz) and 5/8 of a cup of brown rice (which is around 10 tablespoons).


Explanation:

You are given:

every serving of shrimp contains 2g of fat and 5mg of iron;

every serving of rice contains 6g of fat and 7mg of iron;

each meal should have 6g of total fat and 10mg of total iron.


You need to set a system of equation: let's call

s = quantity of shrimps

r = quantity of rice

The equation for the total fat will be: the quantity of fat in the serving of shrimps plus the quantity of fat in the serving of rice must be equal to 6g

2s + 6r = 6    (1)

Similarily:

the quantity of iron in the serving of shrimps plus the quantity of iron in the serving of rice must be equal to 10g

5s + 7r = 10     (2)


In order to solve the system, solve for s in equation (1):

s = (6-6r)/2 = 3 - 3r        (3)

Substitute in equation (2):

5(3 - 3r) + 7r = 10

and solve for r:

15 - 15r + 7r = 10

8r = 5

r = 5/8

Substitute the value of r in equation (3):

s = 3 - 3×5/8 = 9/8


Therefore Adam would need 9/8 of a 5oz serving of shrimps and 5/8 of a 1 cup of brown rice for each meal.

maria [59]

Answer:

Option D: 6:12 is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the simplest form of ratio to compare it with the given ratios.

According to given statement,

The ratio is:

No.\ of\ Blue\ Paint\ Gallons: No.\ of\ red\ paint\ gallons\\2:4\\Simplifying\\1:2

Now we will check if the given options can be simplified to 1:2

So,

Option A:

8:12\\2:3

Option B:

8:24\\1:3

Option C:

3:5

Option D:

6:12\\1:2

As we can see that 6:12 can be simplified to 1:2 which is same as 2:4 so it will make the same shade of purple.

Hence,

Option D: 6:12 is correct answer.

Figure ABCD is a parallelogram. If point C lies on the line y= -1, what is the x-value or point C?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal.

From the figure we can see that,AB and CD are opposite sides.

Therefore AB = CD

<u>To find the length of AB</u>

From the figure we get, AB = 4 units

Therefore CD = 4 units

<u>To find the x coordinate of point C</u>

y coordinate is -1

x coordinate is 4 units from point D

x coordinate of D is 0, therefore x coordinate of C = 0 + 4 = 4

The correct answer is option D. 4
