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

5. Daniel arrives at his campsite out of breath from his swim and jog. His sister tells him that he should have swam to the boat
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

<em>Daniels sister is not correct because the time that will be taken by Daniel will be greater than the initial total time taken by Daniel.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First determine the time it will take Daniel to reach the Boat and the jogging time</u>

time = distance / rate

where distance can be calculated using this equation: sin 53° = 400 / x

hence x ( distance ) = 500 ft

rate = 150

therefore Time ( t )  to reach boat = 500 / 150 = 3.33 minutes

Time for jogging ( as calculated ) = 3.69 minutes

therefore total time taken by Daniel = 3.33 + 3.69 = 7.02 minutes

<u>Finally determine if Daniel's sister is correct that he should have swam to the boat ramp and then jogged </u>

lets assume Distance to swim  =  x  ( according his sister )

determine the value of x = \sqrt{400^2 + 1400^2 }   therefore X = 1456.02 feet

∴

Total time to be taken if Daniel follows his sister's instruction  = 1456.02 / 150 = 9.71 minutes

<em>Daniels sister is not correct because the time that will be taken by Daniel will be greater than the initial total time taken by Daniel.</em>

What's bigger 2/3 or 4/5
Eduardwww [97]
The best thing to do is either to find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.
I will find a common denominator.
A common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
You multiply the first fraction by 5
2*5= 10
This then becomes 10/15
You then multiply the second by 3.
4*3= 12
Therefore, this becomes 12/15
As the second of these fractions is larger, this means that 4/5 is larger.
The alternative method is to put them into decimals, in which case 2/3= 0.66 and 4/5= 0.8
Hope this helps :)
