9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 238 gallons 7%
  • 119 gallons 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of gallons of high butterfat content milk. Then 357-h will be the number of gallons of 1% milk. The total amount of butterfat in the mix is ...

  0.07h +0.01(357 -h) = 0.05(357)

  0.06h = 14.28 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3.57, collect terms

  h = 238 . . . . . . . . . .  divide by 0.06

  357-h = 357 -238 = 119

238 gallons of 7% and 119 gallons of 1% are needed.

What is 4855/200 simplified
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The answer is 2427.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction consists of two numbers and a fraction bar: 4,855/200

The number above the bar is called numerator: 4,855

The number below the bar is called denominator: 200

The fraction bar means that the two numbers are dividing themselves.

To get fraction's value divide the numerator by the denominator:

Value = 4,855 ÷ 200

To calculate the greatest common factor, GCF:

1. Build the prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator.

2. Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents.

Factor both the numerator and denominator, break them down to prime factors:

Prime Factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number.

4,855 = 5 × 971;

4,855 is a composite number;

In exponential notation:

200 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 23 × 52;

200 is a composite number;

Flying to Kampala with a tailwind a plane averaged 158km per hr ... The the return trip the plane only averaged 112 km per . . w
AURORKA [14]
W=wind
p + w=158...p=158-w
p-w=112...p=112+w
SO 158-w=112+w
46=2w
23=w
SO in conclusion you have the correct answer of wind being 23km/h while the plane is going 135 km/h

HOPE THIS HELPS!
