Answer:

  50 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Before drying, the cranberries have ...

  (100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb

of "meat."

After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...

  1 lb = 2%·x

  x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb

The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.

One number is 1/4 of another number. The sum of the two numbers is 5. Find the two numbers. Use a comma to separate your answer
masha68 [24]

Answer: 1, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Number #1 = x
  • Number #2 = \frac{1}{4} x

\frac{1}{4} x+x=5\\\\\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{4}{4} x=5\\\\\frac{5}{4} x=5\\\\5x=4*5\\5x=20\\x=4

  • Number #1 = x = 4
  • Number #2 = \frac{1}{4} x = \frac{1}{4} *4=\frac{4}{4} =1

The length of a rectangle is five more than the width. The perimeter is 130cm. What is the area?
Evgen [1.6K]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

≅ 586.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Take x to be the width, if the length is 5x bigger than the width, then this can be shown by 5x.

The total perimeter is:

(2 * x) + (2 * 5x) because each side has another parallel one.

This means that 2x + 10x = 130

12x = 130

Divide both sides by 12:

\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{130}{12}

x = \frac{65}{6}

So the area = length * width

x * 5x = area

Substitute the values in:

\frac{65}{6} * (5*\frac{65}{6}) = 586.8055... ≅ 586.8

So the approximate area is 586.8


<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Find the area of the larger sector.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

399.6 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of a sector =

x/360° × πr²

r = 13.4 miles

x = 255°

Hence,

255°/360° × π × 13.4²

= 399.5739336 square miles

Approximately = 399.6 square miles
