First of 30% of 2500kcal is 750kcal
if a male consumes 2.5 kcal then 750kcal / 2.5kcal = 300
but then we would need to know how many wheat are on one hectare of land.

Answer:109.5 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Given 30 % of intake is from wheat

Therefore an US male consumes 0.3(2500)=750 kcal per day

and For 1 year it is 750\times 365 =273750 kcal per year

and wheat contains 2.5 kcal per gram

therefore =\frac{273750}{2.5}=109.5 kg of wheat is required For an US male.

A new car is purchased for 15300 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 14.25% per year. What will the value of the car be
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

\$6,082.70  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

V=P(1-r)^{x}  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

P=\$15,300\\r=14.25\%=0.1425\\x=6\ years

substitute in the formula

V=15,300(1-0.1425)^{6}  

V=15,300(0.8575)^{6}  

V=\$6,082.70

-6y + 3(12y) = 20(y - 1) + 15 is it true?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

y= - 1/2 (negative half) =  -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

−6y+3(12y)=20(y−1)+15

Multiply 3 and 12 to get 36.

−6y+36y=20(y−1)+15

Combine −6y and 36y to get 30y.

30y=20(y−1)+15

Use the distributive property to multiply 20 by y−1.

30y=20y−20+15

Add −20 and 15 to get −5.

30y=20y−5

Subtract 20y from both sides.

30y−20y=−5

Combine 30y and −20y to get 10y.

10y=−5

Divide both sides by 10

y= -5/10

Reduce the fraction -5/10 = -0.5 to lowest terms by extracting and cancelling out 5 .

An employment agency requires applicants average at least 70% on a battery of four job skills tests. If an applicant scored 70%,
brilliants [131]

Answer:

atleast 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an employment agency requires applicants average at least 70% on a battery of four job skills tests.

An applicant scored 70%, 77%, and 81% on the first three exams,

Since weightages are not given we can assume all exams have equal weights

Let x be the score on the 4th test

Then total of all 4 exams = 70+77+81+x\\= 228+x

Average should exceed 70%

i.e.\bar X \geq 70\\Total\geq 70(4) =280

Comparing the two totals we have

228+x\geq 280\\x\geq 280-228 = 52

Hemust  score on the fourth test a score atleast 52 to maintain a 70% or better average.

Round 1627187 to the nearest ten?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1627190

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

Given the number 1627187, we can see that the number in the tens place is the number 8.  

How we round this depends on the number immediately to the right of this number. (i.e the digit in the ones place)

Case 1: If the digit in the ones place is less less than 5, then the number in the tens place remains the same and replace all the digits to its right with zeros

Case 2: If the digit in the ones places is 5 or greater, then we increase the digit in the tens place and replace all the digits to its right with zeros.

In our case, the digit in the ones places is 7, this greater than 5, hence according to Case 2 above, we increase the digit in the tens place by one (from 8 to 9) and replace all the digits to its right by zeros giving us:

1627190

How would you shade a model to show ten thousandths?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Theres not really a way to show that on here unless i draw you a picture...you must know that 10 thousandths is equal to 1 hundredth. if you draw a 100 by 100 centimeter square on graph paper it will consist of a thousand squares since 100 x 100 is 1000, and if you colored in 10 of those squares, it would be 10 thousandths
