The cost of glass is: £4

The cost of mug = £2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g be the number of glasses and

m be the number of mugs

$3g+3m = 18\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\6g+4m=32\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 2$

Multiplying equation 1 by 2

$6g+6m=36\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

$6g+6m - (6g+4m) = 36-32\\6g+6m-6g-4m=4\\2m=4$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2m}{2} = \frac{4}{2}\\m = 2$

Putting m=2 in eqn 1

$3g+3(2) = 18\\3g+6 = 18\\3g = 18-6\\3g = 12$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3g}{3} = \frac{12}{3}\\g = 4$

Hence,

The cost of glass is: £4

The cost of mug = £2

A cup of coffee contains about 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine is metabolized and leaves the body at a continuous rate of about 12%

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a. $A = C_{0}(1-x)^t\\x: percentage\ of \ caffeine\ metabolized\\$

b. $\frac{dA}{dt}= -11.25 \frac{mg}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need tot find a general expression for the amount of caffeine remaining in the body after certain time. As the problem states that every hour x percent of caffeine leaves the body, we must substract that percentage from the initial quantity of caffeine, by each hour passing. That expression would be:

$A= C_{0}(1-x)^t\\t: time \ in \ hours\\x: percentage \ of \ caffeine\ metabolized\\$

Then, to find the amount of caffeine metabolized per hour, we need to differentiate the previous equation. Following the differentiation rules we get:

$\frac{dA}{dt} =C_{0}(1-x)^t \ln (1-x)\\\frac{dA}{dt} =100*0.88\ln(0.88)\\\frac{dA}{dt} =-11.25 \frac{mg}{h}$

The rate is negative as it represents the amount of caffeine leaving the body at certain time.

Locate 81/5,8.5,84/5,8.44 on a number line then write the numbers in order from least to greatest

Ray Of Light [21]

81/5 = 16.2
8.5
84/5 = 16.8
8.44
So from least to greatest would be: 8.44, 8.5, 16.2, 16.8
Hope this helps and if so please leave a good rating and thanks and maybe even brainliest answer. Thank you I really appreciate it. Have a nice day!

NutritionCalc Plus uses the equations from the National Academy of Medicine to calculate the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) of 19 or more years older men is:

$EER = 662 - (9.53 \times AGE) + PA \times (15.91 \times WT + 539 \times HT)$

Here,

AGE = age counted in years

PA = appropriate physical activity factor

WT = weight in kilograms

HT = height in meters

The physical activity factor for men and women is:

Activity Level PA (men) PA (Women)

Sedentary 1.00 1.00

Low 1.11 1.12

Active 1.25 1.27

Very Active 1.48 1.45

Given:

AGE = 22 year-old male college student

PA = low = 1.11

WT = 180 pounds = 81.6466 kg

HT = 5'10" = 1.778 m

Compute the value of EER as follows:

$EER = 662 - (9.53 \times AGE) + PA \times (15.91 \times WT + 539 \times HT)$

$= 662 - (9.53 \times 22) + 1.11 \times (15.91 \times 81.6466 + 539 \times 1.778)\\\\=662-209.66+1.11\times (1298.997406+958.342)\\\\=452.34+2505.64674066\\\\=2957.98674066\\\\\approx 2962$

Thus, the EER for a 22-year-old male college student is approximately 2962 kcal.

The correct option is (A).
