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.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The correct group of answer is D) 3 + (−4) = −1, because −1 is 4 units to the left of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Point P on the number line shows Lara's score after the first round of a quiz:

Point P is shown on 3.

That means after the first round her total was 3.

In round two, she lost 4 points.

Therefore, she score −4 points in 2nd round

To find the total points at the end of round 2, we need to add -4 to 3.

3+(−4)=−1

Here −1 is 4 units to the left of 3.

Hence, the correct group of answer is D) 3 + (−4) = −1, because −1 is 4 units to the left of 3

Can someone please send help :(

(f o g)(x)

g(x) = x + 2

Since it’s telling you to use g(x), you use (x + 2) as your new x value for function f.

f(x + 2) = 5(x + 2) + 5
= 5x + 10 + 5
= 5x + 15
