Answer:
4.9kg of water
Step-by-step explanation:
Dry basis is the percentage ratio of moisture amount to amount of dry product which is 175%
Ratio of moisture amount to dry product = 175 : 100
Mass of food product = 10kg
Amount of moisture in food product = 175/175+100 × 10kg = 175/275 × 10kg = 6.4kg
Wet basis is the percentage ratio of the moisture amount to the total weight of material which is 15%
Ratio of moisture amount to total weight of material is 15 : 100
Amount of moisture in food product = 15/100 × 10kg = 1.5kg
Amount of water contained in the final product = 1.5kg
Amount of other components in the food product = 10kg - 6.4kg = 3.6kg
Total amount = 1.5kg + 3.6kg = 5.1kg
% of water = 1.5kg/5.1kg × 100 = 29%
Step 1: Find the Lowest Common Multiple between the denominators.
Step 2: Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number (the one that will get them to the lcm) so that they have the LCM as their new denominator.
Step 3: Add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent George's age.
Let y represent Edward's age.
Let z represent Robert's age.
George is twice as old as Edward. It means that
x = 2y
Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that
z = y - 4
If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that
x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes
2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56
4y - 4 ≥ 56
4y ≥ 56 + 4
y ≥ 60/4
y ≥ 15
z = y - 4 = 15 - 4
z ≥ 11
