2k-6-7+3k=-48 it is a multi step equation

A butcher is mixing ground turkey breast that is 98% lean and beef that is 90% lean to make a blend that is 92.4% lean. Determin

Paul [167]

See brainly.com/question/8613376 for one way to work mixture problems.

The proportion of beef will be
.. (98 -92.4)/(98 -90) = 5.6/8 = 0.7

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.

_____
1. I would prefer to use "t" and "b" as variables, rather than x and y. That way I can more easilly keep straight that they represent pounds of turkey and pounds of beef, respectively.

2. t + b = 100 . . . . . we want 100 pounds of mix

3. 98%*t +90%*b = 92.4%*100 . . . . . total pounds of lean meat

4. Using subsitution for t, we have
.. 98%*(100 -b) +90%*b = 92.4%*100
.. b*(98 -90) -98*100 = -92.4*100 . . . . . . multiply by -100, collect b terms
.. b = (98 -92.4)*100/(98 -90) . . . . . . . . . add 98*100 and divide by b coefficient
note that this expression is exactly the one we used to write down the answer above.
.. b = 5.6*100/8 = 70 . . . . . . . y, if you like
.. t = 100 -b = 30 . . . . . . . . . . x, if you like

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.

The Eco Pulse survey from the marketing communications firm Shelton Group asked individuals to indicate things they do that make

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) There is a probability of 42% that the person will feel guilty for only one of those things.

b)There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, for those people that will feel guilty about wasting food.

-Set B, for those people that will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

The most important information is that there is a .12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons. It means that $P(A \cap B) = .12.$

The problem also states that there is a .39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food. It means that P(A) = 0.39. The probability of a person feeling guilty for only wasting food is PO(A) = .39-.12 = .27.

Also, there is a .27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. So, the probability of a person feeling guilty for only leaving the lights on is PO(B) = 0.27-0.12 = 0.15.

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room?

This is the probability that the person feels guilt for only one of those things, so:

P = PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.27 + 0.15 = 0.42 = 42%

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

The sum of all the probabilities is always 1. In this problem, we have the following probabilies

- The person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons: P

- The person will feel guilty for only one of those things: PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.42

- The person will feel guilty for both reasons: PB = 0.12

So

`P + 0.42 + 0.12 = 1

P = 1-0.54

P = 0.46

There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

If it takes 5 hours to travel 200 miles to the beach, what is the average speed?

Anni [7]

Average speed = total distance/ time taken

= 200/5 = 40 miles per hour.

Answer:

Remember, here -- with addition -- the parentheses are just extras there to throw you off track!

We can remove the parentheses:

7a + 9 + 4a - 7

Now simplify!

7a + 4a + 9 - 7

11a + 2
