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

1 answer:

4 0

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 = TDS × Rm
= 1.4 × 13
= 18.2

Jane had 27 stickers two weeks ago. She bought the same amount of stickers each day for these two weeks. Now she has 237 sticker

lesya [120]

Answer:

Jane bought 15 stickers per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total number of stickers Jane has = 237

Number of stickers 2 weeks ago = 27

To find : Number of stickers she bought each day for two weeks.

Solution,

Let the number of stickers she bought everyday be x.

∴ Number of stickers for 2 weeks = $14\times x=14x$

Now according to question,

Total number of stickers = Number of stickers 2 weeks ago + Number of stickers she bought for 2 weeks

$237=27+14x\\14x=237-27\\14x=210\\x=15$

Thus the number of stickers she bought everyday for 2 weeks is 15.

"A researcher wants to determine if consuming oatmeal regularly reduces the level of bad cholesterol. She finds 120 adults over

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

An experimental research and particularly a quasi experimental study.

Step-by-step explanation:

An experimental research is one where the investigator study the effects from random samples he got and tested. the investigator manipulates parameters to considers some underlying factors in order to arrive at a conclusion. it is usually used to investigate relationships between variable and make comparison. In this case the investigator is conducting a research on how the consumption of oatmeal in adults reduces the level of bad cholesterol, he measures and study the level of bad cholesterol for 6months and then compare their results.

for example, I can conduct an extensive experimental study on the long term effects of exhaust fumes on the passengers (particularly adults between the ages of 25-50) of public transport in Nigeria. this will be studied and their effects will be compared and a conclusion will be reached on the exposure and the non exposure as the case maybe. most underlying conditions of experimental study are under the direct control of the researcher of the investigator. there are three different types of experimental research ; Pre-experimental study, quasi-experimental study and true-experimental study.

Solve the equation exactly overbthe interval [0,360) Sin^2x-cos^2x=0

trasher [3.6K]

$\bf sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf sin^2(x)-cos^2(x)\implies sin^2(x)-[1-sin^2(x)]=0
\\\\\\
sin^2(x)-1+sin^2(x)=0\implies 2sin^2(x)=1\implies sin^2(x)=\cfrac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
sin(x)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{2}}\implies \measuredangle x=sin^{-1}\left( \pm\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{2}} \right)\iff \measuredangle x=sin^{-1}\left( \pm\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
\frac{\pi }{4}\\\\
\frac{3\pi }{4}\\\\
\frac{5\pi }{4}\\\\
\frac{7\pi }{4}
\end{cases}$

What are the zeros of the graphed function?

Zanzabum

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a function are also called as x-intercepts of a function, which means where the graph/function intersects the x-axis.

In the image we see the graph intersects the x-axis at three points

x=0 , x=2 , x=4 so our answer is option C
