There are seven cats in my neighborhood, with an average of $41$ whiskers each. If one of the cats has $17$ whiskers, how many w

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average number of whisker of each cat.

We have been given that there are 7 cats in my neighborhood, with an average of 41 whiskers each.

The total number of whiskers of six cats would be $6x$ .

Since one of the cats has 17 whiskers, so the total number of whiskers of 7 cats would be $6x+17$

We will use average formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of data points}}{\text{Number of data points}}$

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

$41=\frac{6x+17}{7}$

Let us solve for x.

$41*7=\frac{6x+17}{7}*7$

$287=6x+17$

$287-17=6x+17-17$

$270=6x$

Switch sides:

$6x=270$

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{270}{6}$

$x=45$

Therefore, the each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

I need 50 gallons of milk replacer for calves and the powder mixture says it's 6.25 oz for 5 gallons how many oz of powder do I

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

62.5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the ratio proportion method:

x:50::6.25:5

x = (50x6.25)/5

OR a more simple method is to do this:

5 gallons of milk require 6.25 oz. How many oz of powder do I need to get 10x that amount? Since 50 is 10x5, you do the same thing for 6.25, and get 62.5

. Ralph’s Fill Dirt and Croissant Shop in Spencer makes both grand and petit croissants. Each grand requires 1 ounce of flour an

Gwar [14]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

let G be the number of grand croisssants, and P the number of petit croissants :

we have that 1 ounce of flour and 2 ounces of butter result in one G.

additionally, we have that 1/4 ounce of flour and 1/3 ounce of butter result in one P.

Ralph has 4 ounces of flour and 6 ounces of butter, If he bakes more than 1 G then he will never use all of his ingredients!, let's see:

1 G:

he now has 3 ounces of flour, and 4 ounces of butter,

now we need to figure out how many P's we would obtain with such amounts:

let x be the number of P's

$1/4*x = 3=>x=12\\ 1/3*x=4=>x=12$

which is reasonable, Ralph can bake 12 P's,

now with more than 1 G:

2G:

Ralph has now 2 ounces of flour and 2 ounces of butter, now we have to figure out that x is the same using the remaining ingredients

$1/4*x = 2=>x=8\\ 1/3*x=2=>x=6$

This is impossible.

3G:

he runs out of butter.

There is the answer, he is able to bake 1 grand croissant and 12 petit croissants
