Answer:

X(16)=25.71grams

Step-by-step explanation:

let X(t) denote grams of C formed in  t mins.

For X grams of C we have:

\frac{2}{3}Xg of A and \frac{1}{3}Xg of B

Amounts of A,B remaining at any given time is expressed as:

40-\frac{2}{3}Xg of A and  50-\frac{1}{3}Xg  of B

Rate at which C is formed satisfies:

\frac{dX}{dt} \infty(40-\frac{2}{3}X)(50-\frac{1}{3}X)->\frac{dX}{dt}=k(90-X)\\\therefore \frac{dX}{(90-X)^2}=kdt->\int{\frac{dX}{(90-X)^2}} \, =\int {k} \, dt  \\\therefore \frac{1}{90-X}=kt+c->90-X=\frac{1}{kt+c}\\\\X(t)=90-\frac{1}{kt+c}

Apply the initial condition,X(0)=0 ,to the expression above

0=90-\frac{1}{c} \ \ ->c=\frac{1}{90}\\\therefore\\X(t)=90-\frac{1}{kt+\frac{1}{90}} \ \ ->X(t)=90-\frac{90}{90kt+c}

Now at X(8)=15:

15=90-\frac{90}{90\times 8k+1}  \ ->75=\frac{90}{720k+1}\\k=0.0002778

Substitute  in X(t) to get

X(t)=90-\frac{90}{0.0002778t\times 90+1}\\X(t)=90-\frac{90}{0.25t+1}\\But \ t=16\\\therefore X(t)=90-\frac{90}{0.025\times16+1}\\X(t)=25.71

To make 5 pizzas, 1/2 cup of flour is used a. How much flour is needed to make one pizza? b.. How many cups of flour are needed
pogonyaev

Answer:

for a single pizza 1/10 a cup

for 12 pizzas 1 1/5 a cup

you can make 56 pizzas with 5 2/3 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

for 5 pizzas you need 1/2 cup of flour, so to find out how much you'll need for a single pizza you'll need to divide it with 5. 1/2÷5=1/10

for a dozen pizzas you'll need to multiply that with 12. 1/10x12=12/10=1 1/5

Then to find out how many can we make with 5 2/3 cups we'll divide it with that 1/10

56/10÷1/10= 56 pizzas
