(BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT ANSWER) When you roast coffee, it loses 12% of its weight. How much fresh coffee do you need to order to get 14 2/25 lb of roasted coffee?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  16 pounds

==========================================================

Explanation:

14 & 2/25 = 14 + 2/25 = 14 + 0.08 = 14.08

The mixed number 14 & 2/25 is the same as the decimal 14.08

The goal is to end up with 14.08 pounds of coffee.

Let x be the starting amount of coffee, in pounds. It will decrease to 14.08 pounds.

We start with x and decrease by 12%. So we are computing this expression

x - 12% of x = 1x - 0.12x = (1-0.12)x = 0.88x = 88% of x

We can see that if we lose 12%, we keep the remaining 88%

The 0.88x is the final weight.

Set 0.88x equal to the goal of 14.08 and solve for x.

0.88x = 14.08

x = (14.08)/(0.88)

x = 16

You'll need to start off with 16 pounds of coffee if you want to end up with 14.08 pounds after losing that 12%

-------------------

Check:

12% of 16 = 0.12*16 = 1.92

16 - 1.92 = 14.08

The answer is confirmed.

Answer 2

You need to order approximately 4.15 pounds of fresh coffee to get 14 2/25 pounds of roasted coffee after accounting for the 12% weight loss during roasting.

To find out how much fresh coffee you need to order to get 14 2/25 lb of roasted coffee, you'll need to account for the 12% weight loss during the roasting process.

Let's assume "x" represents the amount of fresh coffee (in pounds) you need to order. When this fresh coffee is roasted, it will lose 12% of its weight, leaving you with 100% - 12% = 88% of the original weight as roasted coffee.

Now, set up a proportion to find "x":

(88/100) * x = 14 2/25 lb

First, convert the mixed number 14 2/25 to an improper fraction. It becomes (364/25) lb.

Now, solve the equation for "x":

(88/100) * x = 364/25

To eliminate the fraction, you can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (88/100), which is (100/88):

x = (364/25) * (100/88)

Now, simplify the expression:

x = 4.15 lb (rounded to two decimal places)

Mr. Reynolds is a rancher. He started with a 150 cows in his herd. Due to a hole in his fence, he now has 120 cows in his herd. By what percentage was the number of cows in Mr. Reynold's herd reduced?

Answers

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, the percentage of the number of cows in Mr. Reynold's herd reduced is [tex]20[/tex] %.

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of [tex]100[/tex]. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%".

Here given that,

Mr. Reynolds is a rancher. He started with a [tex]150[/tex] cows in his herd. Due to a hole in his fence, he now has [tex]120[/tex] cows in his herd.

Number of cows Mr. Reynolds have

[tex]\frac{120}{150}[/tex] ×[tex]100=80[/tex] %

So, the number of cows Mr. Reynolds reduced is

[tex]100[/tex] % - [tex]80[/tex] % = [tex]20[/tex] %

Hence, the percentage of the number of cows in Mr. Reynold's herd reduced is [tex]20[/tex] %.

8x+2yz, where x=12, y = 4, and z = 2

Answers

Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+2yz is our starting equation

8(12)+2(4)(2) I then substitute the variables for their numbers

96+2(4)(2) I then multiply 8x12, which equals 96.

96+8(2) I now multiply 2x4, which is 8.

96+16 I finally multiply 8x2 which is 16

112 Lastly I then add 96+16 which equals 112.

First, you have to plug in the variables
Here’s how:
8(12) + 2 x 4 x 2
96 + 16 =
112
That’s how you solve it! Hope it helps

Answer b is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this you can use

c = y - intercept

( -5, 4) = ( x ,y)

Let us solve now .

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

[tex]4 = - 3 \times - 5 + c \\ 4 = 15 + c \\ 4 - 15 = c \\ - 11 = c[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Dunes and beaches make up

nearly 1,800 of the 3,000 miles of

seacoast in the five Gulf states,

Georgia, and Puerto Rico. Erosion is

a problem on about 900 miles of

Atlantic and Gulf coast dunes and

beaches in these areas. With the

right kinds of native and naturalized

plants, much of this erosion can be

prevented.

This publication was written to

help people select and use plants to

stabilize and beautify dunes. It is

intended mainly for planners,

iandscapers, nursery operators,

developers, and homeowners. The

information applies to coastal dunes

and beaches of Puerto Rico, Texas,

Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama,

Florida, and Georgia.

Using plants to control dune

erosion is a high priority of Soil

Conservation Service (SCS) plant

materials programs in coastal states

and the Caribbean Area. From 1973

to 1975, 191 representative dune

sites were studied in Georgia,

Florida, Alabama, and Puerto Rico

(4, 5, 6, 7, 8V These studies

identified more than 200 species of

native and naturalized dune plants

and were supplemented by less

detailed studies in Texas, Mississippi,

and Louisiana.

Of the plant species identified in

the SCS field studies, 43 have good

potential for dune revegctation

because of their favorable

characteristics for erosion control,

their frequency of occurrence, and

their dominance in the natural

ecosystem. This publication

describes each of these 43 plants,

their areas of occurrence, and

propagation techniques.

Ocean waves, littoral drift, and

other natural forces—as well as the

activities of people—determine the

adaptability and suitability of plants

for coastal dunes. This publication

explains how the dune ecosystem

and the actions of people must be

considered in planning revegetation.

It also discusses methods of

preparing the planting site and

establishing and maintaining the

plants.

SCS has selected some of the

featured plants for thorough testing

and comparison. Several years of

tests and field trials are required

before SCS and cooperating agencies

can identify superior plants and

release approved cultivars. These

cultivars are the source of

commercially produced seed and

planting stock used in local

conservation programs.

For further assistance in protecting

coastal dunes, contact your local

SCS office, which generally is listed

in municipal telephone directories

under "United States Government,

Department of Agriculture.

for the first one you have a vertical angle. Vertical angle is basically any 2 lines who intersect each other. The opposite sides will be congruent.

So in this case

2x+8 and 110 are oppostie sides.

2x+8=110

Which is x= 51

#2

For the second one you have supplementray angles

Now for supplementary angles its basically 2 angles added up that form a straight line And 180 degress is always the measure of a straight line. SO in this case we do

9x+12x+75=180

Which is x=5

#3

This is also a vertical angle pair and their congruent just like #1

So 5x+5=65

x=12

The open side of the inequality sign indicates the larger number. So 5 > 3, 4 < 6.

This, ≥, means it is bigger than or equal.

To show < or >, the purple arrow points to where the unknown value (x or n or k or b etc.) could be, and the dot is unfilled, or white, indicating that number is not a possible value of the unknown number.

To show ≤ or ≥, the purple arrow works the same way, it points to the where the unknown value could be. But the dot is filled, showing that the number could be the unknown value.

So for question 11, the answer is x ≤ 0 (x is less than or equal to zero).

For question 12, the answer is x > 3 (x is more than three)
