10-kg batch of a food product has a moisture content of175% dry basis. Calculate the amount of water to beremoved from the produ

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

4.9kg of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry basis is the percentage ratio of moisture amount to amount of dry product which is 175%

Ratio of moisture amount to dry product = 175 : 100

Mass of food product = 10kg

Amount of moisture in food product = 175/175+100 × 10kg = 175/275 × 10kg = 6.4kg

Wet basis is the percentage ratio of the moisture amount to the total weight of material which is 15%

Ratio of moisture amount to total weight of material is 15 : 100

Amount of moisture in food product = 15/100 × 10kg = 1.5kg

Amount of water contained in the final product = 1.5kg

Amount of other components in the food product = 10kg - 6.4kg = 3.6kg

Total amount = 1.5kg + 3.6kg = 5.1kg

% of water = 1.5kg/5.1kg × 100 = 29%

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 24 ft wide and 33 ft long. She

<h3>Answer: 16 ft by 25 ft</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The outer dimensions 24 ft and 33 ft shrink down to 24-2x ft and 33-2x ft respectively. This subtraction of 2x is due to subtracting two copies of x per side.

The carpet has area of (24-2x)(33-2x)

Cynthia can afford to buy 400 sq ft of carpet

So we set 400 equal to that previous expression and solve for x

(24-2x)(33-2x) = 400

24(33-2x) - 2x(33-2x) = 400

792-48x - 66x + 4x^2 = 400

4x^2 - 114x + 792 = 400

4x^2 - 114x + 792-400 = 0

4x^2 - 114x + 392 = 0

From here, use the quadratic formula to isolate x.

Plug in a = 4, b = -114, c = 392

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-114)\pm\sqrt{(-114)^2-4(4)(392)}}{2(4)}\\\\x = \frac{114\pm\sqrt{6724}}{8}\\\\x = \frac{114\pm82}{8}\\\\x = \frac{114+82}{8} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{114-82}{8}\\\\x = \frac{196}{8} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{32}{8}\\\\x = 24.5 \ \text{ or } \ x = 4\\\\$
