Answer:

$J = 370g$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the weight of the Jar with J and the sugar with S

Initially, we have:

$J + S = 850g$

After 2/3 of sugar is removed we have:

$J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g$

Required

Determine the weight of the jar

$J + S = 850g$ --- (1)

$J + S -\frac{2}{3}S= 530g$ --- (2)

Simplify (2)

$J + S -\frac{2S}{3}= 530g$

Take LCM

$J + \frac{3S - 2S}{3}= 530g$

$J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g$

Make S the subject in (1)

$J + S = 850g$

$S = 850g - J$

Substitute 850g - J for S in $J + \frac{S}{3}= 530g$

$J + \frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g$

Multiply through by 3

$3 * J + 3*\frac{850g - J}{3}= 530g * 3$

$3J + 850g - J= 1590g$

Collect Like Terms

$3J - J= 1590g-850g$

$2J= 740g$

Make J the subject

$J = \frac{1}{2} * 740g$

$J = 370g$

<em>The jar weighs 370g</em>

Maddie is reading a graph of equivalent ratios. One point on the graph is (4, 5). Maddie says (10, 8) is also on the graph. Is M

dmitriy555 [2]

Yes and no, (4, 5) multiplied by 2 is (10, 8) but reversed. It depends on how you look at it because (10, 8) would be on the other side of the graph than (8, 10) which is the actually equivalent.

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure below.

The radius of the circle is, <em>r</em> = 5 cm.

The sides of the rectangle are:

<em>l</em> = 11 cm

<em>b</em> = 11 cm.

Compute the area of the shaded region as follows:

Area of the shaded region = Area of rectangle - Area of circle

$=[l\times b]-[\pi r^{2}]\\\\=[11\times 11]-[3.14\times 5\times 5]\\\\=121-78.50\\\\=42.50$

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

If restaurant rotates $60^{0}$ every 15 minutes, then after one hour it will rotate $60^{0}*4=240^{0}$ .
When restaurant makes full rotation $360^{0}$ , the length will be $2 \pi r=2 \pi *80=160\pi$ . But $240^{0}$ <span>is only $\frac{2}{3}$ from the full rotation, so the bird will pass $160\pi * \frac{2}{3} =335$ ft
