Answer:

50 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

Chicken : Turkey

= 4:1

Sum Proportions = 4 + 1 = 5

We have to find the weight in grams of the entire pie

Let us represent the weight in grams of the entire pie = x.

The pie contains 200g of Chicken.

Hence:

4/5 × x = 200g

4x/5 = 200g

Cross Multiply

4x = 200g × 5

x = 200g × 5/4

x = 250g

The amount turkey that is in the pie is calculated as:

Total weight of pie - Amount of Chicken in the pie

= 250g - 200g

= 50 g

Exponential to Logarithmic: $\displaystyle b^m=x \rightarrow log_bx=m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

0.77 = log(x)

Step 2: Solve for x

[Equality Property] Raise both sides to the 10th power: $\displaysytle 10^{0.77} = 10^{logx}$
Simplify: $\displaysytle x = 10^{0.77}$
Evaluate: $\displaysytle x = 5.88844$

Kevin built a deck in his backyard. The length of the deck was x feet and the width of the deck was 3 feet longer than the lengt

Triss [41]

Answer:

4x + 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The deck is the shape of a rectangle

Hence, the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2L + 2W

Where

L = Length = x feet

The width of the deck was 3 feet longer than the length.

W = Width = 3 + x feet

Hence:

Perimeter = 2(x ) + 2(3 + x)

Perimeter = 2x + 6 + 2x

Perimeter = 4x + 6 feet

Hence, the expression for the Perimeter of the deck is given as:

4x + 6 feet
