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

Answer:

  cos(52°) = 18/x

  x = 18·sec(52°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

In this geometry, that means ...

  cos(52°) = 18/x

You can use the relation sec(x) = 1/cos(x) to rewrite this as ...

  x = 18·sec(52°)

_____

You can also use the complementary angle and the complementary trig function.

  sin(90° -52°) = 18/x

For what values of x is the following expression a real​ number?<br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%20-4" id="
IrinaVladis [17]

The square root is defined only for non-negative numbers. In other words, you can compute \sqrt{x} if and only if x \geq 0

If x \geq 0, the square root is a real number, and so is \sqrt{x}-4

You are taking a trip at the same time as another
Valentin [98]

Answer:

My family is traveling faster, since it is traveling at the rate of 950 miles per day, while the other family travels at 900 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I am taking a trip at the same time as another family, and my family traveled 1,900 miles in 2 days, while their family traveled 2,700 miles in 3 days, to determine who is traveling faster the following calculation must be performed:

1,900 / 2 = 950

2,700 / 3 = 900

Thus, my family is traveling faster, since it is traveling at the rate of 950 miles per day, while the other family travels at 900 miles per day.
