Answer:

30 gallons of 6% milk, and 45 gallons of 1% milk.

x=quarts of 6% butterfat

First, write an equation.

0.06x+0.01(75-x)=0.03*75

Multiply both sides by 100.

0.06x*100+0.01*100(75-x)=100*0.03*75

Simplify

6x+75-x=3*75

6x+75-x=225

Solve

5x=225-75=150

5x=150

x=30

75-30=45

So, we need 30 gallons of 6% milk, and 45 gallons of 1% milk.

a triangular sail has sides of 10 ft ,24ft,and 26ft .if the shortest side of a similar sail measures 6ft , what is the measure o

Katarina [22]

Answer:

15.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Comparing the shortest sides, that is

10 : 6 = 5 : 3

let the longest side be x, then using proportion

$\frac{26}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 15.6

The longest side is 15.6 ft

Find the uncertainty in a calculated average speed from the measurements of distance and time. Average speed depends on distance

zzz [600]

Answer:

$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426$

Step-by-step explanation:

you have that the average sped is given by the following formula:

$v(x,t)=\frac{x}{t}$

The uncertainty formula for a division is given by:

$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{\Delta x}{x})^2+(\frac{\Delta t}{t})^2}$ (1)

Δv: uncertainty in speed

Δx: uncertainty in the distance = 0.9m

Δt: uncertainty in time = 0.7s

x: distance = 8.1m

t: time = 1.7s

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\sqrt{(\frac{0.9}{8.1})^2+(\frac{0.7}{1.7})^2}\\\\\frac{\Delta v}{v}=0.426$

Hence, the relation between the uncertainty in the average velocity is 0.426
