Answer:

He use 120 grams of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Flaky pastry can be made using flour and fat in the ratio 4 : 3. Jake makes some flaky pastry using 90 grams of fat.

Now, to find the weight of flour he use in making flaky pastry.

Let the weight of flour be x.

Weight of fat = 90 grams.

The ratio of flour and fat used in making flaky pastry is 4 : 3.

<em>As, 4 is equivalent to 3.</em>

<em>Thus, </em>x<em> is equivalent to 90.</em>

Now, to solve using cross multiplication method:

\frac{4}{3} =\frac{x}{90} \\\\By\ cross\ multiplying\ we\ get:\\\\360=3x\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\120=x\\\\x=120\ grams.

Therefore, he use 120 grams of flour.

Two candles of equal length are lit at the same time. One candle takes 6 hours to burn out, and the other takes 9 hours to burn
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

4.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: One candle takes 6 hour to burn out

           Other candle takes 9 hours to burn out.

Lets assume the time at which slower burning candle be exactly twice as long as the faster burning one be "x". and lenght of candle initially be "1".

Taking one candle as Candle A

            Other candle as Candle B.

As given both the candle is of equal length.

Now, putting up the equation to find the time at which lenght of candle B is twice as candle A.

∴ Length of candle=  2(1-\frac{x}{6} )= (1-\frac{x}{9})

Solving it knowing length is constant and using distributive property of multiplication

⇒ 2-\frac{2x}{6} = 1-\frac{x}{9}

subtracting both side by 2

⇒ \frac{-2x}{6} = -1 -\frac{x}{9}

Adding both side by \frac{x}{9}

⇒ -\frac{2x}{6} +\frac{x}{9} = -1

Taking LCD of 9 and 6 as 18

⇒ \frac{-2x\times 3+x\times 2}{18}= -1

Multiplying both side by 18

⇒-6x+2x= -18

⇒-4x= -18

Multiplying both side by -4

⇒ x= \frac{-18}{-4}= \frac{9}{2}

∴ x= 4.5 hours

Hence, 4.5 hours is the time at which slower burning candle be exactly twice as long as the faster burning one.

Find x please help thank you
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: x=(7√6)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we would have to find the hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle. First, we would have to find the hypotenuse by using the 30-60-90 triangle on top to find it.

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. the x is the same in all sides. All you would have to do is to plug it in. The leg opposite of 60° is x√3 in length. the leg opposite of 30° is x in length.

Since we know that 7 is opposite of the 30° angle, we know that x is 7. Across fron 60° is the hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle. That leg is x√3. We plug in x=7 and get 7√3.

The hypotenuse of the 45-45-90 triangle is x√2 and the legs are both x. We can set 7√3 equal to x√2 to find x of the missing side.

7√3=x√2           [divide both sides by √2]

x=(7√6)/2

Now, we know x=(7√6)/2.

Marlene rides her bike at a rate of 16 miles per hour. The time in hours that she rides is represented by the variable t, and th
White raven [17]

Let

t--------> the time in hours

d-------> the distance in miles

we know that

d=16t

this is a linear equation that represent the scenario

in this equation the independent variable is the time t and the dependent variable is the distance d

The distance's equation in function notation is equal to

f(t)=16t

Using a graph tool

see the attached figure

The domain of the function is the interval----------> [0,∞)

t\geq0

The range of the function is the interval------->  [0,∞)

f(t)\geq0

<u>Statements</u>

<u>a) The independent variable, the input, is the variable d, representing distance</u>

The statement is false

Because the  independent variable is the variable t

<u>b) The distance traveled depends on the amount of time Marlene rides her bike</u>

The statement is true

Because the distance's equation in function notation is equal to

f(t)=16t

<u>c) The initial value of the scenario is 16 miles per hour</u>

The statement is false

Because 16 represent the rate or  the slope of the linear equation

<u>d) The equation t = d + 16 represents the scenario</u>

The statement is false

Because, the scenario is represented by the function f(t)=16t

<u>e) The function f(t) = 16t represents the scenario</u>

The statement is true

No, he is not correct. The lines are the same, so there are an infinite number of solutions.

When two lines are parallel, then the solution is empty set.
