Ahab needs to mix 3.5 cups of liquid iced tea concentrate with 3 cups of water to make iced tea. Ahab has 21 cups of iced tea co
liraira [26]

Answer:

  39 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that the 3.5 cups of concentrate make 3.5+3 = 6.5 cups of tea, we can use the proportion ...

  6.5/3.5 = x/21

to find the x cups of tea Ahab can make with 21 cups of concentrate.

Multiplying by 21, we get ...

  x = 21(6.5/3.5) = 39

Ahab can make 39 cups of tea.

Mitch used 1 4 pounds of beef to make 3 4 liters of beef strogonoff. If Mitch's recipe is for 1 liter of beef strogonoff, how ma
iren [92.7K]

option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

<u>step 1 </u>:

Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff

'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff

<u>step 2</u> :

Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters

(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)

x = 14/34

x = 0.412

1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef

<u>step 3</u> :

To make 6 times the recipe = 6 \times 0.412

                                              = 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)

marsha waide borrows 5,000 and agrees to pay it back in 2 years . if the simple interst rate is 13% ,find the total amount she p
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

You want to calculate the interest on $5000 at 13% interest per year after 2 year(s).

The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula.

Where:

P is the principal amount, $5000.00.

r is the interest rate, 13% per year, or in decimal form, 13/100=0.13.

t is the time involved, 2....year(s) time periods.

So, t is 2....year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 5000 × 0.13 × 2 to get that:

The interest is: $1300.00

Usually now, the interest is added onto the principal to figure some new amount after 2 year(s),

or 5000.00 + 1300.00 = 6300.00. For example:

If you borrowed the $5000.00, you would now owe $6300.00

Find the optimal solution for the following problem. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

x=2.125

y=0

C=19.125

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use a graphical method, we start first noticing the restrictions x\geq 0 and  y\geq 0, which restricts the solution to be in the positive quadrant. Then we plot the first restriction 8x+10y\leq 17 shown in purple, then we can plot the second one 11x+12y\leq 25 shown in the second plot in green.

The intersection of all three restrictions is plotted in white on the third plot. The intersection points are also marked.

So restrictions intersect on (0,0), (0,1.7) and (2.215,0). Replacing these coordinates on the objective function we get C=0, C=11.9, and C=19.125 respectively. So The function is maximized at (2.215,0) with C=19.125.
