Answer: the extraction is 18.2%.
Explanation:
Let's see few definitions:
TDS = Total Dissolved Solids = solids dissolved in the brew
PE = Percent Extraction = percent of solids extracted from the dry coffee grounds
The percent extraction can be calculated by the formula:
PE = TDS × Rm
where
Rm = ratio between the mass of the brew and the mass of dry grounds
Now, you need to consider the following facts:
1) every 1g of coffee absorbs 2g of water
2) the given brew ratio is 1:15, which means that for every 1g of grounds we use 15g of water
Let's call
x = grams of coffee grounds we want to use
Therefore the mass of the brew will be:
m(brew) = water we use - water absorbed by the coffee
= 15·x - 2·x
= 13·x
Therefore,
Rm = m(brew) / x
= 13·x / x
= 13
Hence, the percent of extraction will be:
PE = <span> TDS × Rm
= 1.4 </span>× 13
= 18.2
To solve this question, we use the factor theorem, and using it, the polynomial function is:
------------------------------
The factor theorem means that if k is a root of f(x), f(k) = 0.
Thus, applying the factor theorem for this question, we have to choose the function for which: 
------------------------------
Function 1:
Testing the values:
Thus, since all three conditions are satisfied, is the polynomial function.

60.
The question gives you the fact that 6 bricks is 2 feet high.
What do you do to get from 2 to 20?
You multiply by 10.
Since you multiplied one thing by 10, you must do it to the other side so it remains balanced.
2 ft x 10ft = 20ft
6 bricks x 10 bricks = 60 bricks
Okay. You can decompose 749 with these ways:
700 + 40 + 9
or
500 + 200 + 40 + 9
