Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is  97\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet

Similarly:

x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet

The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = 31\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Width = 17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet

One serving (1 cup) from the fruits group is equal to 1 cup of fruit, 1 cup of 100% fruit juice, or 1/2 cup of dried fruit. Why
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Because the dried fruit contains less water

Step-by-step explanation:

Drying is a phenomenon whereby heat is used to remove moisture from a material.

Fruit juice contains about 85% water, that means the remaining fruit content is 25%

The average water content of fruits is about 89%, this means that the remaining fruit content is 11%.

Dried fruit contains about 20% water which means that the remaining fruit content is 80%.

If we assume that each cup serving weighs 1kg this implies that;

The real fruit content (vitamins, minerals etc) masses are;

Fruit juice = 0.25kg

Fruit = 0.11kg

Dried fruit = 0.8kg

We can see that the mass of the fruit content in the dried fruit is twice more than than of the fruit and fruit juice individually. This is why half cup of dry fruit is equated to one cup of the other two.

Simplify the following expression, if you can see the picture the expression is as follows:
Kobotan [32]
\sqrt{40}=2 \sqrt{10} and \sqrt{90} = 3\sqrt{10}, so we have \sqrt{10}(2-1+3). which is 4 \sqrt{10}.

Kristin owns a bakery called Kristin's Cakes n' Such and is considering lowering the price of her cakes. Kristin polls her custo
azamat
The total revenue that is gained from the sales of the cakes is determined by multiplying the number of cakes by the price. If we let x be the number of $1 that should be deducted from the price and y be the total revenue,
                               y = (25 - x)(100 + 5x)
Simplifying, 
                              y = 2500 + 25x - 5x²
We get the value of x that will give us the maximum revenue by differentiating the equation and equating the differential to zero.
                             dy/dx = 0 = 25 - 10x
The value of x is 2.5. 
 The price of the cake should be 25 - 2.5 = 22.5. 
Thus, the price of the cake that will give the maximum potential revenue is $22.5.
