Answer:

8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Ratio of C:N = 30:1
  • C - carbon content, N - nitrogen content
<h3>Given</h3>
  • Coffee grounds = 1 pound <u>contains </u>25% C and 1% N
  • Rotten vegetables = 6 pounds  <u>contains</u> 10% C and 1% N
  • Dry leaves = ?  pound  <u>contains</u>  30% C and 0.5% N
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Coffee grounds and Rotten vegetables together give:</u>

  • 1 + 6 = 7 pounds
  • C = 1*0.25 + 6*0.1 = 0.25 + 0.6 = 0.85
  • N = 1*0.01 + 6*0.01 = 0.01 + 0.06 = 0.07

<u>Add dry leaves of x pounds:</u>

  • Total = 7 + x
  • C = 0.85 + 0.3x
  • N = 0.07 + 0.05x

<u>Finding required weight of dry leaves:</u>

  • (0.85 + 0.3x)/(0.07+0.005x) = 30/1
  • 0.85 + 0.3x = 30(0.07 + 0.005x)
  • 0.85 + 0.3x = 2.1 + 0.15x
  • 0.3x - 0.15x = 2.1 - 0.85
  • 0.15x = 1. 25
  • x = 1.25/0.15
  • x = 8.33 pounds = 8 pounds rounded to nearest pound

Hannah has a small square shaped garden with an area of 196 square feet. If she wants to put a fence around the garden, how many
Mazyrski [523]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  

A square is a quadrilateral that has the same length on every side.

The area of the garden is 196 square feet. To find the area of a garden, you have to multiply the length times the width. Since you know that both widths are the same, you can simply just calculate the square root of 196. The square root of 196 is 14. So you know that one side is 14 feet in length.

Now you will need to find the perimeter. The perimeter of any polygon is the lengths of all sides added up. Since there are 4 sides on a square, and each side is the same length, you can just add 14, 4 times. 14+14+14+14 equals 56. So the perimeter of the garden is 56 feet.

Hannah will need 56 feet of fencing.

What is line r called and what are ∠1 and ∠2?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The line r is the transversal and ∠1 and ∠2 are linear pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles such as matching angles, alternative angles, linear pair angles, etc. are created when a transversal intersects parallel lines.

Consequently, the parallel lines are p and q.

R is the transversal

The parallel lines p and q are divided by the transversal r.

As a result, lines 1 and 2 are linear pairs, and line r is the transversal.
