Amount of black pepper = 1 7/10 kg = 17/10 kg.
Amount used is
(7/8)*(17/10) = 119/80 kg

This amount is split between 7 shakers. Each shaker has
(119/80)/7 = 17/80 kg = 0.2125 kg

Answer: 17/80 kg (or  0.2125 kg)

A basket contains 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs, and 11 lemons. Taylor is in a hurry to make breakfast and picks something from t
guajiro [1.7K]
Okay so probability is just percentage of a whole, right?

So you have 14 White Eggs + 15 Brown Eggs + 11 Lemons.

Add all those numbers together and you get your whole.

14 + 15 = 29    29+11 = 40

40 is your whole. 

So because you want to know how likely it is to pick up an egg, you would follow these steps.

100/40 = 2.5 (For each part of the 40, it is worth 2.5 percent.)

2.5 x 29 = 72.5

Your probability of picking an egg out of the bask is 72.5 percent or 72.5 out of 100.

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.

a car travels 30 1/2 miles in 2/3 of an hour. what is the average speed, in miles per hour, of the car ?
Contact [7]

Answer:

speed=225.75 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

s=301/2

t=2/3

we have,

v=s/t

v=(301/2)/(2/3)

=(301/2)×3/2

=903/4

v=225.75

therefore, speed of car will be 225.75 miles per hour

If s(x) = 2 – x2 and t(x) = 3x, which value is equivalent to (s circle t) (negative 7)?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

-439

Step-by-step explanation:

(s circle t) (negative 7) is a notation for a compound function.

A compound function is a function that has as an argument another function.

Another notation for this compound function is s(t(-7)), that is, the result of the function t(-7) is the value that will be used in the function s(x).

So, first we calculate the value of t(-7):

t(x) = 3x

t(-7) = 3*(-7) = -21

Now, we apply this value for s(x):

s(x) = 2 - x2

s(t(-7)) = s(-21) = 2 - (-21)^2 = 2 - 441 = -439
