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.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps taken to solve this system of equations would first be:

1. Sub 4x-2 into your first equation, 2x+5(4x-2)= 12 ->

2. Solve/simplify this equation to get x=1

3. Sub x=1 into your second equation and solve for y = 2

4. Get the solution (1,2)

The mileage is 27.6 mi/gal
Miles driven = 552.4 mi

Calculate gallons used.
gallons = \frac{552.4 \, mi}{27.6 \, mi/gal} = 20.015 \, gal

Answer: 20.015 gallons  (approximately 20 gallons)

Snowcat [4.5K]
8y+4 = 2(y-1)
8y+4 = 2y-2
8y-2y+4 = -2
6y+4 = -2
6y = -2-4
6y = -6
y = -1

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

P(x=25)=P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 18 pounds

Standard Deviation = 3.5 pounds

x= 25

We need to find P(x=25)

First, we need to find z-score using formula: z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Finding z-score when x=25

z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z-score=\frac{25-18}{3.5}\\z-score=2

So, we need to find P(z=2)=P(x=25)

Looking at z-score table we can find P(z=2)

P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

So, P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%
