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.

What is the equation of a line passing through (-3, 7) and having a slope of -1/5 ? A. y = -5x + 22 B. y = 5x + 22 C. y=1/5x+32/
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

  D.  y = -1/5x +32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line passing through point (h, k) with slope m can be written ...

  y = m(x -h) +k

Filling in your given values, the equation is ...

  y = -1/5(x -(-3)) +7

  y = -1/5x -3/5 +7 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = -1/5x +32/5 . . . . . combine constants

Yesterday, Jack drove 43.5 miles. He used 11 gallons of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

the unit rate for miles per gallons = 3.95 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unit rate for miles per gallon.

Given:

Jack drove 43.5 miles. He used 11 gallons of gasoline.

Find the unit rate for miles per gallon?

Jack used 11 gallons of gasoline for 43.5 miles.

11 gallons = 43.5 miles

The unit rate for miles per gallon is

unit rate of gallons = total miles divided by total used gallons of gasoline

x=\frac{43.5}{11}

x=3.95miles

Therefore, the unit rate for miles per gallons is 3.95 miles.
