What is your yield percent?

Mathematics

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - 45.56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

chicken weighs = 31 lbs

left clean meat = 14 lbs and 2 oz or 14+2/16

Formula:

A reasonable assumption for the definition of 'yield percent' is :

= (lbs of edible product) / (lbs of product as-purchased) * 100%

Solution:

Putting the values in the given formula:

= (14 + 2/16) / (31) * 100

= 14.125 / 31 * 100

= 45.56% (or 45.6% when rounded to one decimal place).

(x+16)²=12 plz help me and show work

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The answer is $x=-16$ ± $2\sqrt{3}$ in exact form or $x=-12.535898$ , $x=-19.464102$ in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start by moving all terms to the left side of the equation and simplify. Simplify the equation by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation and squaring $x+16$ , which will look like $x^{2} +32x+256-12=0$ . Next, simplify the equation again, which will look like $x^{2} +32x+244=0$ .

Then, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions. The quadratic formula looks like $\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$ .

For this problem, the quadratic variables are as follows:

$a=1$

$b=32$

$c=244$

The next step is to substitute the values $a=1$ , $b=32$ , and $c=244$ into the quadratic formula and solve. The quadratic formula will look like $\frac{-32(+-)\sqrt{32^2-4(1*244)} }{2*1}$ . To simplify the equation, start by simplifying the numerator, which will look like $x=\frac{-32(+-)4\sqrt{3} }{2*1}$ . Then, multiply 2 by 1 and simplify the equation, which will look like $x=-16(+-)2\sqrt{3}$ . The final answer is $x=-16$ ± $2\sqrt{3}$ in exact form. In decimal form, the final answer is $x=-12.535898$ , $x=-19.464102$ .

Indicate the equation of the line, in standard form, that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and

jenyasd209 [6]

Equation of a line is $x+3y =-3$ .

<h3>What is a perpendicular bisector of the line segment?</h3>

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts a line segment connecting two points exactly in half at a 90 degree angle. To find the perpendicular bisector of two points, all you need to do is find their midpoint and negative reciprocal, and plug these answers into the equation for a line in slope-intercept form.

Given that,

Endpoints of the line segment are ( $x_{1},y_{1}$ ) = (4, 1) and ( $x_{2},y_{2}$ ) = (2, -5).

First find the midpoints of the given line segment.

M = $\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}\Right)$

= $\left(\frac{4+2 }{2},\frac{1-5 }{2}\Right)$

M = $(3,-2)$

Now, Find the slope of the line :

It is perpendicular to the line with (4,1) and (2,-5)

Slope between ( $x_{1},y_{1}$ ) and ( $x_{2},y_{2}$ ) = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

so,

the slope between (4,1) and (2,-5) = $\frac{-5-1 }{2-4 }$

= 3

perpendicular lines have slopes the multiply to get -1

3 times m=-1

m= $\frac{-1}{3}$

The equation of a line that has a slope of m and passes through the midpoints M(3,-2) is

$y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$

$y-(-2) =\frac{-1}{3} (x-3 )$

$(y+2) =\frac{-1}{3} (x-3 )$

if we want slope intercept form

$(y+2) =\frac{-1}{3} x+1$

$y= \frac{-1}{3} x-1$

If we want standard form

$\frac{1}{3} x+y = -1$

$x+3y =-3$

Hence, Equation of a line is $x+3y =-3$ .

How many grams are there in 4.5 kilograms

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: 4500 grams

Step-by-step explanation: 1 kilogram is 1,000 grams, so 4 kilograms is 4,000 grams, and half a kilogram is 500 grams. So, 4000 + 500 = 4,500
