Soybean meal is 14% protein; cornmeal is 7% protein. How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 280lb mixture that is 8% protein?

How many pounds of the cornmeal should be in mixture?
How many pounds of the soybean meal should be in mixture? 50 POINTS!!!!

Answers

Answer 1
0.14x + 0.07(280-x) = 0.08*280

0.14x + 19.6-0.07x = 22.4

0.07x + 19.6 = 22.4

0.07x = 2.8
x = 2.8 / 0.07 = 40
 x = 40 pounds of Soybean
280 -40 = 240 of cornmeal

A store carries two different sizes of a certain brand of potato chips. bag 1 contains 8 ounces and costs $3.49. bag 2 contains 12 ounces, and costs $4.59. which bag has the lowest price per volume

Answers

The price per volume will be given by the following equation:
 P = (cost) / (volume of the bag)
 For bag 1: 
 P1 = (cost) / (volume of the bag)
 P1 = (3.49) / (8) = 0.43625 $
 For bag 2: 
 P2 = (4.59) / (12) = 0.3825 $
 We know that
 P1> P2
 Answer:
 bag 2 has the lowest price per volume 0.3825 $

Bag 2, with a price of $0.3825 per ounce, has a lower price per volume compared to Bag 1, which has a price of $0.43625 per ounce.

To determine which bag of potato chips has the lowest price per volume, we need to calculate the price per ounce for each bag.

For Bag 1, it contains 8 ounces and costs $3.49, so the price per ounce is $3.49 / 8 ounces = $0.43625 per ounce.For Bag 2, it contains 12 ounces and costs $4.59, so the price per ounce is $4.59 / 12 ounces = $0.3825 per ounce.

Comparing these values, we see that Bag 2 has the lower price per ounce at $0.3825 per ounce, making it the more economical choice per unit of volume.

Please help does anyone know the answer Giving 20pts I need ASAP

Answers

The answer is x = 180 - (67 + 52).

That is because x, 67, and 52 make a straight line, hence, they will equal to 180.

So if you subtract the sum of 67 and 52 from 180 you'll get the value of x.

The sum of four consecutive odd integers is –72. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the values of the four integers.

Answers

Let's the first odd integer be x...
Please note that odd numbers differs by 2...1,3,5,7,9etc....

If the first odd integer Is x
The next(consecutive one) = x+2
The third = (x+2)+2 = x+4
The fourth one = (x+4)+2 = x+6..

The sum of all this equals to - 72 that is......
x+x+2+x+4+x+6 =-72

4x+12 = - 72

4x=-72-12

4x=-84
x=-84/4

x= -21...

Please explain the answer!

Answers

none of your options, not via complete the square nor quadratic the formula.

Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 + 8 x + 9 = 0

x = (-8 ± sqrt(8^2 - 4×9))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(64 - 36))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(28))/2:
x = (-8 + sqrt(28))/2 or x = (-8 - sqrt(28))/2

sqrt(28) = sqrt(4×7) = sqrt(2^2×7) = 2sqrt(7):
x = (2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2 or x = (-2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2

Factor 2 from -8 + 2 sqrt(7) giving 2 (sqrt(7) - 4):
x = 1/22 (sqrt(7) - 4) or x = (-2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2

(2 (sqrt(7) - 4))/2 = sqrt(7) - 4:
x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = (-2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2

Factor 2 from -8 - 2 sqrt(7) giving 2 (-sqrt(7) - 4):
x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = 1/22 (-sqrt(7) - 4)

(2 (-sqrt(7) - 4))/2 = -sqrt(7) - 4:

Answer: x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = -sqrt(7) - 4_____________________________________________________

Solve for x:
x^2 + 8 x + 9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides:
x^2 + 8 x = -9

Add 16 to both sides:
x^2 + 8 x + 16 = 7

Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 4)^2 = 7

Take the square root of both sides:
x + 4 = sqrt(7) or x + 4 = -sqrt(7)

Subtract 4 from both sides:
x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x + 4 = -sqrt(7)

Subtract 4 from both sides:
Answer:  x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = -4 - sqrt(7)

what is the scale factor of ABC to UVW

Answers

One of the easiest question I've seen.
It's a scale factor of 5 because, 
5*5=25
5*3=15
5*4=20 
Hope this helps!

Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of two triangles. We are asked to find the scale factor of ABC to UVW.

To find the scale factor of our given triangles, we will divide one side of triangle UVW by its corresponding side of triangle ABC.

[tex]\text{Original side}\times\text{Scale factor}=\text{New side}[/tex]

[tex]5\times\text{Scale factor}=25[/tex]

Upon dividing both sides of equation by 5, we will get:

[tex]\frac{5\times\text{Scale factor}}{5}=\frac{25}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Scale factor}=5[/tex]

Therefore, the scale factor of triangle ABC to triangle UVW is 5 and option C is the correct choice.

The answer to that is: X = 8.

40 divided by 5 = 8.

To check we can do 5 x 8 = 40.

X = 8
Well you want to isolate x so in order to undo multiplication, you divide the 5 on both side that way it cancels on the side with the x. 
                                                    
                                                   5x/5=40/5
 
next, simply dived 40 by 5 which is 8, x=8

The equation x2+y2−4x+2y=b describes a circle. Complete the square to find the center of the circle. The center of the circle is ( , ) The radius of the circle is 7 units. What is the value of b in the equation? b=

Answers

look to the coefficients on the middle terms (-4x and 2y)

divide each coefficient by 2 and square to determine what to add.

(-4/2)^2 = 4 needs to be added to complete the square for x.

(2/2)^2 = 1 needs to be added to complete the square for y.

add to both sides of the equal sign to keep the equation balanced.

x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = b + 4 + 1
factor
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = b + 5

The general equation for a circle is:
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
with center (h,k) and radius r

compare this to the equation. you see that the center is: (2, -1)

we can write
r^2 = b + 5
given that r = 7
49 = b + 5
49 - 5 = b
44 = b

An isosceles triangle has perimeter T and sides of length x, x, and y. Which of the following represents x in terms of T and y? (10 POINTS + BRAINLIEST ANSWER)

A. x = T - y

B. x = T - 2y

C. x = T - 2y/2

D. x = T - y/2

Answers

C. T-2y/2 easy peazy lemon squeezey

the correct answer is C. x = (T - 2y) / 2.

To find the value of x in terms of T (the perimeter) and y for an isosceles triangle with two sides of length x and one side of length y, we use the fact that the perimeter is the sum of all three sides. The equation representing the perimeter of the triangle is T = x + x + y, which simplifies to T = 2x + y. To solve for x, we rearrange the equation to x = (T - y) / 2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. x = (T - 2y) / 2.

Answers

The approximate probability of randomly choosing one vegetable and one grain-based side dish is:   d.  0.33333

Explanation

Vegetable side dishes = 3,  Fruit side dishes = 2 and Grain-based side dishes = 5

So, total number of side dishes [tex]= 3+2+5= 10[/tex]

Number of ways for choosing two side dishes from total 10 dishes will be : [tex]^1^0C_{2}[/tex]

B. An acute triangle, beacuse 22^2+51^2>54^2
C. An obtuse triangle, beacuse 22^2+54^2>51^2
D. An obtuse triangle, beacuse 22^2+51^2>54^2,

Answers

The answer is B. It is an acute triangle because of 22^2 + 51^2 > 54^2. To identify the type of triangle referred to the problem, we use the Pythagorean Theorem which involves squaring the lengths of all sides of the triangle. If the hypotenuse’s square is less than the two smallest sides' squares added together, than it is an acute triangle. However, if the hypotenuse’s square is larger, then it is an obtuse triangle.

54 is the hypotenuse since it is the longest side.

Following the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2:

54^2=2916

51^2=2601

22^2=484

It becomes 2601+484 = 2916.

When the two shorter sides are added, the sum is greater than the square of the hypotenuse which is 2916. Thus, the formed triangle is acute. 

Answer:

B

A hybrid car averages 600 miles on a 12.9 gallon tank of gas. Manuel is planning a 1240-mile vacation in his hybrid car. Find how many gallons of gas he can expect to burn.

Answers

the average distance travelled by the car - 600 miles
 amount of gas used up - 12.9 gallons
therefore when he travels 600 miles he uses up 12.9 gallons
                                                                                 
for every mile the amount of gas used up - 12.9 gallons / 600 miles = 0.0215 gallons / mile 
therefore 0.0215 gallons used up per mile
                                         
so when he's going for 1240 miles - gas used up is 0.0215 gallons/ mile x 1240 miles = 26.66 gallons
                                       
amount of gas needed is 26.66 gallons

Answer:

26.66 gallon of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

A car uses 12.9 gallons of gas for travelling 600 miles

For travelling one mile , the car will use gas = 12.9 gallon of gas/600 miles  

= 0.0215 gallon of gas /mile

For travelling 1240 miles, gallon of gas required =
