The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Plant food = 3 1/2 kg

Plant food used on Strawberry Plants = 1 2/3 kg

Plant food used on tomato Plants = 1/4 kg

We will first calculate the total food plant used and then subtract the used plant food from the total plant food.

So,

$Total\ Plant\ Food\ used=1\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{20+3}{12}\\=\frac{23}{12}$

Now,

$Left\ Food\ Plant=3\frac{1}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{23}{12}\\=\frac{42-23}{12}\\=\frac{19}{12}\\=1\frac{7}{12}$

The remaining plant food is: 1 7/12 kg

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Derek is studying the change in the price

BaLLatris [955]

For product A, the product is increasing, for the bigger the number you plug into x (due to the fact that the numbers become bigger because of the time: year 1, year 2, etc)
Product A is 82% change rate, while
product B is 983.45/4 = 245.8625, 1756.16/3 = <span>585.3867</span>
Product B is 245.8625/585.3867
product B is 42% change rate

Product A change rate is higher than Product B by 40%

hope this helps

Four different prime numbers, each less than 20, are multiplied together. What is greatest possible result?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

46,189

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime numbers that are less than 20 are :

1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19

to get the greatest value, we multiply the four numbers with the largest values i.e

11 x 13 x 17 x 19 = 46,189

If x varies jointly as y and z, and x = 8 when y = 4 and z = 9, find z when x = 16 and y = 6. 3

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Joint variation says that:

if $x \propto y$ and $x \propto z$

then the equation is in the form of:

$x = kyz$ , where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

If x varies jointly as y and z

then by definition we have;

$x=k(yz)$ ......[1]

Solve for k;

when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9

then

Substitute these in [1] we have;

$8=k(4 \cdot 9)$

⇒ $8 = 36k$

Divide both sides by 36 we have;

$\frac{8}{3}=k$

Simplify:

$k = \frac{2}{9}$

⇒ $x = \frac{2}{9}yz$

to find z when x = 16 and y = 6

Substitute these value we have;

$16 = \frac{2}{9} \cdot 6 \cdot z$

⇒ $16 = \frac{12}{9}z$

Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

$144 = 12z$

Divide both sides by 12 we have;

12 = z

or

z = 12

Therefore, the value of z is, 12

With food prices becoming a great issue in the world; wheat yields are even more important. Some of the highest yielding dry lan

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Option E) 61.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 100 bushels per acre

Standard Deviation, σ = 30 bushels per acre

We assume that the distribution of yield is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(X>x) = 0.90

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.90

P(X > x)

$P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.90$

$= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.90$

$=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30})=0.10$

Calculation the value from standard normal table, we have,

$P(z$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 100}{30} = -1.282\\x = 61.55 \approx 61.6$

Hence, the yield of 61.6 bushels per acre or more would save the seed.
