Let x  be the number of bags of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein, y be the number of bags of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein and z be the number of bags of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein a dog breeder buys. He  wants to make 300 pounds of a mix. Then

20x+17.5y+30z=300.

Now

  • in 20x pounds of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein is 0.2·20x=4x pounds of protein;
  • in 17.5y pounds of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein is 0.27·17.5y=4.725y pounds of protein;
  • in 30z pounds of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein is 0.25·30z=7.5z pounds of protein;
  • in 300 pounds of mix containing 22 percent protein is 0.22·300=66 pounds of protein.

Then 4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.

You get a system

\left\{\begin{array}{l}20x+17.5y+30z=300\\4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.\end{array}\right.

From the first equation z=10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y. Substitute it into the second equation:

4x+4.725y+7.5(10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y)=66.

Simplify it:

-x+\dfrac{7}{20}y=-9,\\ \\ 20x-7y=180.

y must be divided by 20, then

  • y=0, x=9, z=10-6=4;
  • y=20, x=16, z is not a whole number;
  • y=40, x=23,  z is not a whole number;
  • y=60, x=30, z=10-20-35<0;
  • thus, all other possible z will be <0.

Answer: 9 bags with 1st mix, 0 bags with 2nd mix and 4 bags with 3rd mix.

With compound interest, what happens when you start compounding more and more frequently?
VLD [36.1K]
Your money grows faster because the interest is added back into the principle and then the next time it compounds you get interest on the new principle amount.  So for example, you deposit $100 in an account that gets 5% interest compounded semiannually. The first time it compounds you get $5 added to your account so your new balance is $105.  The next time it compounds you get 5% on $105 so you get $5.25 added and so on.  If this is only happening semi-annually that would be all you get for the year.  But if it happens quarterly you would get would get deposits of $5.51 and $5.79 as well.  If it compounds monthly or even daily your money would grow more and more.  Hope this helps.

The answer is -8°F. This is because it DROPPED 8 degrees, meaning it was 8°F MINUS 8°F which would equal 0°F. Hope that helps!

harina [27]

Answer:

<DAB   = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

7)

<DAB = ?

<DAB + <DCB = 180

so

16x + 8 + 8x + 4 = 180

24x + 12 = 180

24x = 168

x = 7

<DAB  = 16(7) + 8 = 120

What is the measure of ∠L?
otez555 [7]
<h3>Answer:  72.54</h3>

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

Explanation:

We set up a cosine ratio, since we want to connect the adjacent and hypotenuse. Then we'll use the inverse cosine, which is also known as arccosine, to isolate the angle value.

This is what your steps could look like:

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(L) = LM/LN

cos(L) = 18/60

cos(L) = 0.3

L = arccos(0.3)

L = 72.542396876278 which is approximate

L = 72.54 degrees approximately

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
