How does recipe conversion factors work? For example, if I have a soup that is originally 24 servings and has 16 oz of fish, and

I need it to be done in 10 servings, what would the calculation be to get the right amount of fish.

You have to find the unit rate, which in this case means the amount of fish you need per serving of soup.

If 16 oz of fish makes 24 servings, then 16/24 oz = 2/3 oz makes 1 serving.

Now multiply both quantities by 10, so that 10 servings require 20/3 oz ≈ 6.67 oz of fish.

A more direct way to do this is to solve for <em>x</em> in the following equation:

(16 oz fish) / (24 servings) = (<em>x</em> oz fish) / (10 servings)

Then (omitting units)

<em>x</em> = 10 • 16 / 24 = 20/3

What is the equation of the line? Graph of a line in the coordinate plane through the origin and the point begin ordered pair 1
Margarita [4]

Here the line passes through (0,0) and (1,3).

First we need to find the slope , and for that we need to use the following formula

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

On substituting the values from the point, we will get

m=\frac{3-0}{1-0}=3

Now we will use slope intercept form, which is

y = mx+ b

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

And on substituting the values of x and y from the point (1,3) and slope, m = 3, we will get

3 = 3(1)+b

3=3+b

b =0

Substituting the values of m and b in the slope intercept form, we will get

y= 3x

Esteban has a big jar of change in his room. He has 600 coins total, and 240
elixir [45]
  You can set up a proportion to solve for the percentage of the coins that are pennies. Of course, there are alternate methods as well, but this is one method. First, you define the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be equal to a variable, such as x. Next, you write 240/600 = x/100, due to how "x" is the amount out of 100 (since per cent is for every cent (out of 100)), and 240 would correspond to x while 600 would correspond to 100. This proportion may also be written as 100/x = 600/240, or 240/x = 600/100. In order to solve for x, you use cross-products, or you multiply each denominator by the numerator of the other fraction. You will be left with a numerical value that's equal to a number times x, and then you divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x in order to isolate x. As a result, you will have the percentage of the coins that are pennies to be your answer. Remember to write the units for every numerator and denominator in your proportion.

A golfer keeps track of his score for playing nine holes of golf​ (half a normal golf​ round). His mean score is 8080 with a sta
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Therefore the mean and standard deviation of his total score if he plays a full 18 holes are 160 and 11\sqrt2 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

For the first 9 holes X:

E(X) = 80

SD(X)=13

For the second 9 holes Y:

E(Y) = 80

SD(Y)=13

For the sum W=X+Y, the following properties holds for means , variance and standard deviation :

E(W)=E(X)+E(Y)

     and

V(W)=V(X)+V(Y)

⇒SD²(W)=SD²(X)+SD²(Y)        [ Variance = (standard deviation)²]

\Rightarrow SD(W)=\sqrt{SD^2(X)+SD^2(Y)}

∴E(W)=E(X)+E(Y) = 80 +80=160

            and

∴SD(W)=\sqrt{SD^2(X)+SD^2(Y)}

              =\sqrt{11^2+11^2}

               =\sqrt{2.11^2}

               =11\sqrt2

Therefore the mean and standard deviation of his total score if he plays a full 18 holes are 160 and 11\sqrt2 respectively.
