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.

Find the length of the side of rhoumbus whose diagonals are of length 6cm and 8cm.​
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect at right angles. That means half the diagonals form a right angle triangle then we can try the Pythagorean theorem. so -

one side of triangle =  6/2 =3 (half of the diagonal)

other side = 8/2 = 4

a^2 + b^2 = c2

3 ^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9+16 = c^2

c^2=25

c = \sqrt{25} = 5

the hypothenus forms one side of the rhombus and here the hypothenus is 5, so the lenght of a side is 5 !
