The question is:

A cake recipe calls for 550 grams of flour. About how many pounds of flour do you​ need? Use the conversion factors (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams) and (1 pound)/(16 ounces).

Answer:

About 1.2 pounds of flour is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cake recipe calls for 550 grams, we want to determine about how many pounds of flour we need.

This simply means we want to convert 550 grams to pounds.

First, we were given (1 ounce)/(28.4 grams)

This implies that

1/28.4 = x/550 ..............................(1)

Where x is 550 grams in ounce.

Solving (1)

28.4x = 550

=> x = 550/28.4

≈ 19.3662

That is 550 grams is equal to 19.3662 ounce

Next, we are given the ratio (1 pound)/(16 ounce). We then convert 19.3662 ounce to pound

Let y be 19.3662 ounce in pound

=> 1/16 = y/19.3662

16y = 19.3662

y = 19.3662/16

≈ 1.2

That is 19.3662 ounce is equal to 1.2 pounds.

Therefore, 550 grams is equal to 1.2 pounds, and it is the amount of flour needed.

A population of beetles are growing according to a linear growth model. The initial population (week 0) is p0=6 and the populati
wel

Answer:

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of beetles in Week 0= 6

Population of beetles in Week 7= 83

From week 0 to week 7 there are 8 weeks.

But subtracting population of week 0 from population of week 7 gives

= 83-6

= 77

After the subtraction, we have 7 weeks remaining.

Dividing the remaining population by the number of weeks remaining

=77/7

= 11

For n number of weeks, population p of beetles

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks
