A baker prepares a cake mix that weighs 120 pounds. The cake mix
consists of shortening and other ingredients. The weights of the other ingredients are, 20 1/2 pounds of flour, 29 3/4 pounds of sugar, 18 1/8 pounds of milk, 16 pounds of whole eggs, and a total of 5 1/4 pounds of flavoring, salt, and baking powder. How many pounds of shortening are used in this cake mix?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30 3/8 pounds of shortening used.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 1/2 + 29 3/4 +18 1/8 + 16 + 5 1/4 = 89.625

120- 89.625 = 30.375 pounds

0.375 as a fraction = 3/8 + 30

Therefore the total shortening used = 30 3/8 pounds

How many pounds of shortening are used in this cake mix is maximum figure as we found exact 0.375

We can do this by multiplying the 0.375 x 2 = 0.750  = 3/4

Then counteracting 4 = 1 to 8 = 1 and keeping the top fraction.

1/2 of 3/4 = 3/8

3/8 x 2 = 0.75

0.75 /2 = 0.375

The shortest route from London to Cambridge is 60 miles. A lorry is expected to take 1.5 hours to travel this route. The lorry actually travels by a different route which increases the distance by 20%, but it still arrives in 1.5 hours. By how many more mph than the expected speed does the lorry travel?

Answers

Answer: 8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance / time

When diatance is 60 miles

Speed = 60 / 1.5 = 40 miles per hour

When distance is 20% more (72 miles)

Speed = 72 / 1.5 = 48 mph

Answers

Answer:

5x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x - 2

g(x) = 2x + 1

f(x) + g(x) = 3x-2 +2x+1

                Combine like terms

                = 5x-1

Answer:

(f+g)(x)=5x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find (f+g)(x), add f(x) and g(x)

f(x)+g(x)

We know that f(x) is equal to 3x-2 and g(x) equals 2x+1.

f(x)=3x-2

g(x)=2x+1

(3x-2)+ (2x+1)

Combine like terms. Add all the terms with a variable, then all the terms without a variable

(3x+2x)+(-2+1)

5x+(-2+1)

5x-1

A system of equations has 1 solution. If 4x - y = 5 is one of the equations, which could be the other equation?
O y=-4x + 5
O y = 4x-5
O 2y = 8x - 10
0 -2y = -8x - 10

Answers

Answer:

y = -4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

I graphed the given equation on the graph below and graphed the choices with it. Only one choice had one solution with the given equation. This equation is y = -4x+5

Answer:

O y=-4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I graphed "4x - y = 5" and the other options using a graphing tool. After graphing, we can see:

"4x - y = 5" and " -2y = -8x - 10" has no solution. The lines are parallel.

"y = 4x-5" and "2y = 8x - 10" overlap over "4x - y = 5". They have an infinite number of solutions.

"y=-4x + 5" and "4x - y = 5" cross at point (1.25, 0). This means that they have one solution.

"y=-4x + 5" should be the correct answer.

Answer: She earned 868,5 in total last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 x 40 = 720 --> earned during the first 40 hours of work

27 x 5,5 = 148,5

148,5 + 720 = 868,5--> total

Answer:

$868.50

Step-by-step explanation:

She worked for 40 hours and gained $18 per hour. That equals $720. She then worked for 5.5 more hours gaining $27 an hour. That equals $148.5. Add those together and you get $148.50.

1. b=√56

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Pythagorean therom states a²+b²=c² and in number 1 we are given the c or the hypotenuse so plugging in the values we know 13²+b²=15²

which equals 169+b²=225 subtract 169 from both sides and we get b²=56

square root both sides and we get b=√56

How many miles will it take for both companies to have the same service price? What's this price amount? Use the following systems of linear equations to solve by graphing. Company A: y = 0.25x + 15 Company B: y = 0.50x

Which is correct:

A. 55 miles; $25
B. 62 miles; $35
C. 60 miles; $30
D. 58 miles; $29

Answers

Answer:

60 miles; $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = 0.25x + 15 ...........Eq1

y = 0.50x.............Eq2

Where, x = miles and y = Total cost of ranting

Find:

Total cost of ranting.

Computation:

From Eq1 and Eq2

0.25x + 15 = 0.50x

0.25x = 15

x = 15 / 0.25

x =  60 miles

From Eq 2

y = 0.50(60)

y = $30

Answers

Answer: √300.89 or 17.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6.7^2 + b^2 = 16^2

b^2 = 16^2 - 6.7^2

= 256 - 44.89

b = √211.11 = 14.5

here to this question we have to use Pythagoras theorem that is

[tex] {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {hypotnuse}^{2} [/tex]

here,

a=6.7

b=x (cuz' we don't know it's value)

c= hypotenuse =16

now, substitute these values in the above formula then we get,

[tex] {6.7}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {16}^{2} \\ = 14.529[/tex]

as the answer should be given to 1 decimal place we get 14.529

Answers

Answer: Gym problem (fourth option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the options given.

For the first option the equation is:

384+2x=6x

Because the problem asks for a solution where both costs are equal.

For the second option the equation is :

384+2x = 6x

Because the problem asks for a solution where both amounts are equal.

For the third option the inequality is:

384+2x>6x

Because the problem asks for a solution where the first cost is more expensive than the second cost.

For the fourth option (gym problem) the inequality is:

384+2x< 6x

Because the problem asks for a solution where the second cost (super gym) is more expensive than the first cost (mega gym).

This option is the correct one.

Find the following angle measures.
mAngleJKM = °
mAngleMKL = °

Answers

Answer:

The found values are:

y = 10

<JKM = 106°

<MKL = 74°

Step-by-step explanation:

(See the diagram attached)

As JKL is a straight horizontal line, angle measure from JK to KL is 180°.

We can see in the diagram that line KM is dividing this angle of 180° into 2 unequal parts.

Which means that the sum of <JKM and <MKL is equals to 180°.

Mathematically, it can be written as:

[tex]<JKM+<MKL=180^\circ\\\\[/tex]

Substitute the values of both angle to solve the equation:

[tex](10y+6)+(8y-6) = 180\\18y=180\\y=\frac{180}{18}\\y=10[/tex]

Put in the formulas of both angle to find their values:

<JKM = 10y + 6

<JKM = 10(10)+6

<JKM = 106°

<MKL = 8y - 6

<MKL = 8(10)-6

<MKL = 74°

Answer:

y = 10

<JKM = 106°

<MKL = 74°
