If you measure a tds of 1.4%, and you used a brew ratio of 15, what is the percent extraction?

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

225/5 = 45
This means the parents gave her five dollars forty five times. If they gave her a five every time she saved one dollar, you just have to multiply the money she saved each time and the number of times she saved it, and you'll get the answer.

Find x. A. 11√6/2 B. 22 C. 33 D. 11√3/2
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio on the triangle on the right and the exact value

tan60° = \sqrt{3} , then letting the altitude be h

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{11\sqrt{6} }{h}  = \sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by h )

11\sqrt{6} = h × \sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

11\sqrt{2} = h

using the sine ratio in the triangle on the left and the exact value

sin45° = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} , then

sin45° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{h}{x} = \frac{11\sqrt{2} }{x} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

\sqrt{2} × x = 22\sqrt{2} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{2} )

x = 22
