Answer:

400 pizzas

Explanation:

The complete question would be:

<em>You are going into the business of making pizzas. The following is the list of ingredients to make ONE pizza: </em>

<em>400 g flour           50 mL water </em>

<em>10 g yeast             120 g sauce </em>

<em>250 g cheese       5 g oregano </em>

<em>5 g basil </em>

<em>Your business has purchased 500 pizza pans, 60 kg of sauce, 100 kg of cheese, 2.5 kg of basil, 2.5 kg of oregano, 5 kg of yeast, and 200 kg of flour. You have as much water as you need. How many pizzas can you make? </em>

You are going to have to make a couple of conversions to do this. Since everything you need is indicated in grams, we first need to convert everything you have in grams.

There are 1,000 g in 1 kg. So now we convert them all:

60 kg of sauce

60kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 60,000g

100 kg of cheese

100kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 100,000g

2.5 kg of basil

2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g

2.5 kg of oregano

2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g

5 kg of yeast

5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 5,000g

200 kg of flour

200kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 200,000g

So now that we know what we have, we determine how many pizzas we can make with the amount of each ingredient. We get the ratio of each ingredient to one pizza to determine how many we can make:

<u>Flour:</u>

Available: 200,000g

Needed: 400g

200,000g\ of\ flour\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{400g\ of\ flour} = 500\ pizzas

<u>Yeast:</u>

Available: 5,000g

Needed: 10g

5,000g\ of\ yeast\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{10g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas

<u>Cheese:</u>

Available: 100,000g

Needed: 250g

100,000g\ of\ cheese\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{250g\ of\ cheese} = 400\ pizzas

<u>Basil:</u>

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

<u />2,500g\ of\ basil\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas<u />

<u>Sauce:</u>

Available: 60,000g

Needed: 120g

<u />60,000g\ of\ sauce\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{120g\ of\ sauce} = 500\ pizzas<u />

<u>Oregano:</u>

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

<u />2,500g\ of\ oregano\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ oregano} = 500\ pizzas<u />

We do not need to consider water, because it will provide as many as we will need.

So here we see that all but one ingredient is able to yield 500 pizzas. Cheese is the only one that yields less than 500, specifically 400 only. This is your limiting ingredient and this ingredient determines how many pizzas you can make. Because when you run out of cheese, you can no longer make a pizza.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(a). A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer.

-<u> Increase in exports while no change in imports</u>.

(b). The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury.

- <u>Decrease in a net outflow of capital. Thus, it would be considered as a negative inflow/outflow</u>.

(c). An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm.

- <u>Increase in Net Capital outflow for the U.S</u>.

Explanation:

Exports are described as the selling of domestic goods to a foreign country while Imports are characterized as the process of bringing in foreign goods to the domestic country. And Capital outflow is defined as the exact flow of funds from domestic to foreign and foreign to the domestic country.

In the first case, the purchase reflects a rise in exports as the domestic product is sold to the foreign country. In the second situation, the net outflow of the capital would decreases as it demonstrates a foreign purchase of a domestic asset. In the third example, the American investors' purchase of a South Korean firm demonstrates a domestic purchase of a foreign asset and thus, the net capital outflow would rise.
