Answer:
120 kg of 30% fat-content chocolate and 30 kg of 40% fat-content chocolate.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a candy distributor needs to mix a 30% fat-content chocolate with a 40% fat-content chocolate to create 150 kilograms of a 32% fat-content chocolate.
Let the amount of 30% fat-content chocolate be 'x' and the amount of 40% fat-content chocolate be 'y'.
So, according to the question;
x + y = 150 ------------ [equation 1]
and
x = 120 kg
Now, putting the value of x in equation 1, we get;
x + y = 150
120 + y = 150
y = 30 kg
Hence, 120 kg of 30% fat-content chocolate and 30 kg of 40% fat-content chocolate.
<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The height of the lightning rod is 27.4 feet.
<h2>Why?</h2>To solve the problem, we need to use the given information about the two points of observation, since both are related (both finish and start at the same horizontal distance) we need to write to equations in order to establish a relationship.
So, writing the equations we have:
We know that the angle of elevation from the base of the buildings is 36°
Also, we know that from the same location, the angle of elevation to the top of the lightning rod is 38°.
Using the information we have:
To the top of the building:
To the top of the lightning rod:
Now, isolating we have:
Also, we have that:
Therefore, if we want to calculate the height of the lightning rod, we need to do the following:
Let "x" the distance to the top of the building and "y" the distance to the top of the lightning rod, so:
Rounding to the nearest foot, we have:
Hence, the answer is:
The height of the lightning rod is 27.4 feet.
Have a nice day!
