How many cups of sorbet are used in 8 cups of punch?

1 answer:

4 0

Given that 8 cups equals 100% of this punch, we need to figure out how many coups does 15% of sorbet make. This is how we do this:
8 (cups) : 100% (the entire amount of punch) = x (the number of sorbet cups) : 15% (the amount of sorbet used)
So:
x : 15 = 8 : 100
100x = 15 * 8
100x = 120
x = 1.2
The answer is 1.2 cups of sorbet were used in this punch.

Answer:

The amount of stock for which both brokers would charge the same commission is $2500.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let the amount of stock to be traded be worth $x

ii) therefore for both the brokers to charge the same commission we can write

1% of x = $25 $\RIghtarrow$ $\Rightarrow$ 0.01 $\times$ x = 25 $\therefore$ x = $\frac{25}{0.01} = 2500$

The amount of stock for which both brokers would charge the same commission is $2500.

Drake

1. Drake is Bradley's sister.
2. Cursen is Atley's brother
3. Norma and Drake are not related
<span>4. Kermit is a year older than Bradley
</span>
Drake is a girl (1), but she is not related to Norma(3), So she is Marlene.
1) MARLENE DRAKE

Drake and Bradley are related; Norma is not related to them(3). Norma can either be Atley or Cursen. But, Cursen is Male. So, Norma is NORMA ATLEY

Remaining family names are Bradley and Cursen. Kermit is not a Bradley, so he is KERMIT CURSEN. That leaves LEONARD BRADLEY.

Answer:

t(d) = 0.01cos(5π(d-0.3)/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the location of a maximum, it is convenient to use a cosine function to model the torque. The horizontal offset of the function will be 0.3 m, and the horizontal scaling will be such that one period is 1.2 m. The amplitude is given as 0.01 Nm.

The general form is ...

torque = amplitude × cos(2π(d -horizontal offset)/(horizontal scale factor))

We note that 2π/1.2 = 5π/3. Filling in the given values, we have ...

t(d) = 0.01·cos(5(d -0.3)/3)
