Answer:

We need to start with 5 kg of mushrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of the dried mushrooms = mushrooms *  percentage of weight kept

percentage of weight kept = 1- 80% = 20 %

We want 1 kg of dried mushrooms.   Substitute in what we know

1 kg = mushrooms * 20%

1 kg  = mushrooms * .2

Divide  each side by .2

1 /.2 = mushroom *.2 /.2

5 kg = mushrooms

We need to start with 5 kg of mushrooms

If sin theta =1/4, theta in quadrant II, find the exact value of cos[theta +pi/6]
Mashcka [7]
Using cos addition formula:
use x for theta
cos(x+π/6)=cosx*cos(π/6)-sinx*sin(π/6)
sinx=1/4
cosx=√15/4
cos(π/6)=√3/2
sin(π/6)=1/2
cos(x+π/6)=(√15/4*√3/2)-(1/4*1/2)
cos(x+π/6)=(√45/8)-(1/8 )
cos(x+π/6)=(√45-1)/8)
