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

How do your write a feaction with a denominator of 20 as a decimal?

Maslowich

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is 20 as a decimal? To write 20 as a decimal you have to divide numerator by the denominator of the fraction. 20 is not a fraction so it is a decimal already. And finally we have: 20 as a decimal equals 20

Every year, a town surveys the size of its wetland ecosystems. This equation estimates the total wetland area, in acres, over ti

nignag [31]

Answer:

When t=10, the town is predicted to have around 443 acres of wetlands.

At one time, the town had 740 acres of wetlands.

The wetland area in the town decreases by 5% per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(t) = 740 * (0.95)^t$

Required

The true statements

$(a)\ f(10) = 443$

We have:

$f(t) = 740 * (0.95)^t$

Substitute 10 for t

$f(10) = 740 * (0.95)^{10$

$f(10) = 443$

<em>Hence, (a) is true</em>

$(b)\ f(t) = 740$

We have:

$f(t) = 740 * (0.95)^t$

Substitute 740 for f(t)

$740 = 740 * (0.95)^t$

Divide through by 740

$1 = 0.95^t$

Express 1 as 0.95^0

$0.95^0 = 0.95^t$

Cancel out the bases

$0 = t$

$t = 0$

Hence, the area had 740 acres initially;

(b) is true

$(c)\ r = 5\%$

We have:

$f(t) = 740 * (0.95)^t$

Using the general formula

$f(t) = a * b^t$

By comparison:

$b = 0.95$

0.95 < 1 means that:

$b = 1 - r$ --- where r = rates

$0.95 = 1 - r$

Collect like terms

$r = 1 - 0.95$

$r = 0.05$

Express as percentage

$r = 5\%$

Hence, (c) is true

$(d)\ f(10) = 492$

In (a)

$f(10) = 443$

Hence, (d) is false

$(e)\ r = 95\%$

In (c)

$r = 5\%$ ---- decrement

Hence, (e) is incorrect

PLEASE HELPPPP For a short time after a wave is created by wind, the height of the wave can be modeled using y = a sin 2πt/T, wh

serg [7]

Answer:

y= 4 sinx/2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

y= a sin2πt/T

where : a is the amplitude , t is the time in seconds, and T is a period of wave is seconds.

y=A sin (B(x+C)) +D

amplitude A = 4

2π/B is period = 4

C is the phase shift = -2

D is vertical shifts = -2

now substitute the numbers in the equation :

y= A sin ( B(x+C)) + D

y= 4 sin (4(x-2) -2

y=4sin(4x-8)-2
