Answer:

4.9kg of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry basis is the percentage ratio of moisture amount to amount of dry product which is 175%

Ratio of moisture amount to dry product = 175 : 100

Mass of food product = 10kg

Amount of moisture in food product = 175/175+100 × 10kg = 175/275 × 10kg = 6.4kg

Wet basis is the percentage ratio of the moisture amount to the total weight of material which is 15%

Ratio of moisture amount to total weight of material is 15 : 100

Amount of moisture in food product = 15/100 × 10kg = 1.5kg

Amount of water contained in the final product = 1.5kg

Amount of other components in the food product = 10kg - 6.4kg = 3.6kg

Total amount = 1.5kg + 3.6kg = 5.1kg

% of water = 1.5kg/5.1kg × 100 = 29%

Triangle E F G is shown. Which statements regarding Triangle E F G are true? Select three options. E F + F G greater-than E G E
Leokris [45]

Answer:

options 1 ( E F + F G greater-than E G ), 2 (E G + F G greater-than E F ) and 5 ( E G + E F less-than F G ) are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle EFG.

In each tirangle with sides lengths a, b and c, we always have

a+b>c\\ \\a+c>b\\ \\b+c>a

In triangle EFG:

  • EF+FG>EG;
  • EG+GF>EF;
  • FE+EG>FG.

So, options 1 ( E F + F G greater-than E G ), 2 (E G + F G greater-than E F ) and 5 ( E G + E F less-than F G ) are true.

Options 3 and 4 are false.

A grasshopper jumps off a tree stump. The height, in feet, of the grasshopper above the ground after t seconds is modeled by the
Monica [59]

The height, in feet, of the grasshopper above the ground after t seconds is modeled by the function , which is

h(t) =-t^2+\frac{4}{3}t+ \frac{1}{4}

When the grasshopper land on the ground,

h(t)=0

that is,

-t^2+\frac{4}{3}t+ \frac{1}{4}=0

Multiplying whole equation by 12 to get rid of denominators 3 and 4

-12t^2+16t +3=0

(3-2t)(6t+1)=0 \\ 3-2t=0 , 6t+1=0 \\ t= \frac{3}{2} , \frac{-1}{6}

And time cant be negative, so the correct option is

t = \frac{3}{2}=1.5 seconds

Correct option is C .

Andrew deposits $300 into an account that earns 2% interest each year. After the first year, Andrew has $306 in the account. Aft
Sliva [168]

Answer:

It is a simple interest account

Step-by-step explanation:

As we might see from the given earnings, the amount of money he earned each year is the same as in the previous year. This means that the amount of money is growing linearly instead of exponentialy. This is characteristic to a simple interest account, which is found by using the formula:

I=Prt

where I = interest earned.

P = principal

r = Interest rate

t = time in years,

if we use this formula to calculate the amount of money earned after t years, we can see it will be the same as the values reported:

I=$300(0.02/year)(1year)=$6

I=$300(0.02/year)(2years)=$12

I=$300(0.02/year)(3years)=$18

So this simple interest account.
