Equation: 53x + 460 = 1096
Solution 1096 - 460 = 53x
636/53=x
12=x
12 hours
Answer:
%P = 8%
the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
The percentage of fat in the mixture is;
%P = total mass of fat in mixture/total mass of mixture × 100%
%P = F/T × 100% ….....1
Mass of fat in mixture is;
She purchases 5 pounds of ground beef which is 15% fat
F1 = 15% of 5 pounds = 0.15×5 pounds
F1 = 0.75 pound
and combines it with 7 pounds of ground turkey which is only 3% fat
F2 = 3% of 7 pounds = 0.03 × 7
F2 = 0.21 pound
Total mass F = F1 + F2
F = 0.75+0.21
F = 0.96 pound
Total mass of mixture T = 5 + 7 pounds
T = 12 pounds.
From equation 1,
%P = F/T × 100%
%P = 0.96/12 × 100%
%P = 0.08×100%
%P = 8%
the percentage of fat in the mixture is 8%
Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....
3(b-s)=27
b-s=9
b=9+s we will use this in the second equation....
2(b+s)=30
b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:
9+s+s=15
2s+9=15
2s=6
s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so
b=12
So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph
Well me myself and I would say yes!!!
