A diet is to contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, 1800mg Calcium, and 1200 calories every day. Two foods, a dairy-based meal and

a vegan option are to fulfill these requirements. Each ounce of the dairy-based meal provides 50 mg vitamin C, 30 mg Calcium, and 10 calories. Each ounce of the vegan option provides 20 mg vitamin C, 20 mg Calcium, and 40 calories. If the dairy-based meal costs $0.042 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.208 per ounce, how many ounces of each food should be purchased to minimize costs? What is that minimum cost (per day)?

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounce of dairy based meal and let y represent the number of vegan option in ounce.

Since the diet must contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, therefore:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

Since the diet must contain at least 1800 mg Calcium, therefore:

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

Since the diet must contain at least 1200 calories, therefore:

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

Therefore the constraints are:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

x > 0, y > 0

The graph was drawn using geogebra online graphing tool, and the solution to the problem is at:

C(30, 45) and D(48, 18)

dairy-based meal costs $0.042 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.208 per ounce. The cost equation is:

Cost = 0.042x + 0.208y

At C(30, 45);  Cost = 0.042(30) + 0.208(45) = $10.62

At C(48, 18);  Cost = 0.042(48) + 0.208(18) = $5.76

The minimum cost is at (48, 18). That is 48 dairy based meal and 18 vegan

An atom gains an additional electron. What is the overall charge of the ion that is formed?
jeka57 [31]

<em>An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom</em>

Measurements of acceleration are given in units of ?
Lady_Fox [76]
Meters per second squared: \frac{m}{s^{2}}

If you think about it, acceleration is about how fast speed changes. Speed is measured in meters per second: \frac{m}{s}

So if you take that and just measure it over time, you get meters per second squared.

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106 hz and 1hz=
AURORKA [14]
The frequency of the radio station is
f=88.7 fm= 88.7 MHz = 88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz

For radio waves (which are electromagnetic waves), the relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda is
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light. Substituting the frequency of the radio station, we find the wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=3.38 m

A box with a mass of 18 kg is pushed across the floor. It has coefficient of friction of 0.39. Calculate the force of friction i
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

68.8 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of box = 18 Kg

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.39

Force of friction (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the normal force of the box. This is illustrated below:

Mass (m) of object = 18 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Normal force (N) =?

N = mg

N = 18 × 9.8

N = 176.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the force of friction experienced by the object. This is illustrated below:

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.39

Normal force (N) = 176.4 N

Force of friction (F) =?

F = μN

F = 0.39 × 176.4

F = 68.796 ≈ 68.8 N

Thus, the box experience a frictional force of 68.8 N.

Statements best explains why a scientific theory can be revised?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Because new theories can come out that better explain observations and experimental results can replace old theories.

Explanation: Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date. Scientists want to prove that the work of other scientists is wrong. New evidence that supports a change prompts scientists to modify earlier theories.
