Gordon Ramsey made a stew that contained shrimp and potatoes. Shrimp was expensive, so he used three times the amount of potatoes as he did shrimp. If the stew had 5 lbs. Total shrimp and potatoes, how many pounds of potatoes did he buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He bough 1.25 lbs of shrimp and 3.75 lbs of potato.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the stew is composed of shrimps and potatoes, then the sum of the weighs of these ingredients must be equal to the weigh of the stew, so we have:

[tex]shrimp + potato = 5[/tex]

We also know that he bought three times more potatoes than shrimps, therefore:

[tex]potato = 3*shrimp[/tex]

Using the second equation on the first one, we have:

[tex]shrimp + 3*shrimp = 5\\4*shrimp = 5\\shrimp = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25[/tex]

[tex]potato = 3*shrimp = 3*1.25 = 3.75[/tex]

He bough 1.25 lbs of shrimp and 3.75 lbs of potato.

This recipe makes 20 flapjacks. How much of each ingredient is needed to make 30 flapjacks by following this recipe? Recipe: Makes 20 flapjacks 140 g margarine 120 g sugar 100 ml syrup 240 g oats 50 g raisins

Answers

Answer: 210 grams of margarine, 180 grams of sugar, 150 millilitres of syrup, 360 grams of oats, 75 grams of raisins

Step-by-step explanation: 30 flapjacks is 1.5 more than 20 flapjacks.

140 * 1.5 = 210 grams

120 * 1.5 =  180 grams

100 * 1.5 = 150 millilitres

240 * 1.5 = 360 grams

50 * 1.5 = 75 grams

Lester teaches a ceramics class on the weekends. In Sunday's class, the students created 19 clay objects, 12 of which were vases. After each class, Lester bakes the clay objects in a hot kiln to harden them. Students pick up their finished pieces later in the week.
If Lester randomly chose 16 clay objects to bake in the kiln Sunday night, what is the probability that exactly 11 of the chosen clay objects are vases?

Write your answer as a decimal rounded to four decimal places.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Well they made 19 clay, where 12 were vases. That means 7 were not vases. She randomly chooses 16 clay objects, which then also means 3 were left behind. so if the vases are  12/19, which is approximately 63%, then 63% of the objects are vases. Makes sense, right? Well now we need to multiply that by the initial 11 in the question. After all of this work..

A new lawn has a perimeter of 278 ft. and a width of 64 ft. A bag of grass seed will cover 384 ft 2of ground. How many bags of grass seed are needed to seed the new lawn? A. 4.34 B. 6 C. 10.25 D. 12.5

Answers

Answer:

12.5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on the mensuration of flat shapes

Given

perimeter of lawn = 278 ft

width of lawn = 64 ft

1. we need to solve for the length of the lawn

2. we also  we need to solve for the area of the lawn

perimeter of lawn= 2(width) + 2(length)

substituting our data we have

let the length be x

[tex]= 278= 2(64) + 2(x)\\\=278= 128+2x\\\=278-128= 2x\\\=150=2x\\\\\x=\frac{150}{2} \\\x= 75ft[/tex]

the length is 75 ft

the area of the lawn is [tex]75*64= 4800ft^2[/tex]

if a bag will cover[tex]384ft^2[/tex]

to cover the lawn we will need

[tex]\frac{4800}{384} \\=12.5 bags[/tex]

Compare and contrast the Angle Angle Similanty Postulate, the Side Side Side Similarity Theorem and the Side Angle
Side Similanty Theorem
Write about the similantes and the differences that you observe.?

Answers

Answer:

The similarities are

1) Two triangles are similar when they meet either the (Angle Angle) AA, (Side Side Side) SSS or (Side Angle Side) SAS criteria

2) When two triangles meet either of the above similarity criteria they automatically meet the other similarity criteria

3) The ratio of their equivalent sides are equal such that when ΔABC is similar to ΔDCE we have;

AB/DC = AC/DE = BC/CE

The observed differences are

1) Triangles that meet the SAS and SSS Similarity Theorem criteria can be said to be congruent, that is they have both the same side sizes and angle sizes while triangles that meet only the AA Similarity Postulate criteria may or may not be congruent

2) The number of possible triangles formed by the SAS or SSS Similarity Theorem criteria is only one while the number of possible triangles formed by the AA Similarity Postulate criteria is infinite

3) A triangle that meets either the SAS or SSS Similarity Theorem criteria also meets the AA Similarity Postulate criteria

4) A triangle that meets either the AA Similarity Postulate criteria does not necessarily meet the AA Similarity Postulate criteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The similarity postulates are;

The Angle Angle Similarity Postulate also known as AA

The Side Side Side Similarity Theorem also known as SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin with the expression: [tex]-\frac{4}{y} +(-\frac{7}{8y} )[/tex]

First, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case would be 8y.

To make the first term have a denominator of 8y, we must multiply it by [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{4}{y}(\frac{8}{8}) +(-\frac{7}{8y} )\\\\-\frac{32}{8y} +(-\frac{7}{8y} )[/tex]

Which statement is true about the graphs of the two lines y = -4/5x + 2 and y = -5/4x - 1/2?

Statements:
1. The lines are perpendicular to each other because -4/5 and -5/4 are opposite reciprocals of each other.
2. The lines are perpendicular to each other because 2 and -1/2 are opposite reciprocals of each other.
3. The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because -4/5 and -5/4 are not opposite reciprocals of each other.
4. The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because 2 and -1/2 are not opposite reciprocals of each other.

Answers

Answer:

3. The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because -4/5 and -5/4 are not opposite reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our answer is

3. The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because -4/5 and -5/4 are not opposite reciprocals of each other.

Because [tex]-\frac{5}{4}[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{4}{5}[/tex] are not opposite reciprocals because they share the same sign ( - ).

Statement 3 is true. The lines y = -4/5x + 2 and y = -5/4x - 1/2 are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because the slopes -4/5 and -5/4 are not opposite reciprocals of each other.

To determine if two lines are perpendicular, we need to compare their slopes. If the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, the lines are perpendicular.

Let's analyze the slopes of the given lines:

Line 1: y = -4/5x + 2

The slope of Line 1 is -4/5.

Line 2: y = -5/4x - 1/2

The slope of Line 2 is -5/4.

To check if these slopes are negative reciprocals, we need to invert one of the slopes and change its sign. Let's invert the slope of Line 1:

Inverted slope of Line 1: -5/4

The inverted slope of Line 1 is not equal to the slope of Line 2 (-5/4 ≠ -5/4). Therefore, the slopes are not negative reciprocals of each other.

Hence, Statement 3 is true. The lines y = -4/5x + 2 and y = -5/4x - 1/2 are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because the slopes -4/5 and -5/4 are not opposite reciprocals of each other.

the length of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 91 cm and 51 cm and the length of two other side 37 CM and 13 cm respectively determine the area of trapezium​

Answers

Answer:

903 sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 91 cm and 51 cm and the length of two other side 37 CM and 13 cm respectively.

Now draw a dotted line as shown in the below figure. So, we have a triangle with sides 13 cm, 37 cm, 40cm and a parallelogram with sides 51 cm, 13 cm.

Area of parallelogram is

[tex]A_1=base\times height[/tex]

[tex]A_1=51\times 13[/tex]

[tex]A_1=663[/tex]

Using heron's formula, area of triangle is

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

where, [tex]s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex].

The sides of triangle are 13cm, 37 cm, and 40 cm.

[tex]s=\dfrac{13+37+40}{2}=45[/tex]

Area of triangle is

[tex]A=\sqrt{45(45-13)(45-37)(45-40)}=240[/tex]

The area of trapezium is

[tex]A=A_1+A_2=663+240=903[/tex]

Therefore, the area of trapezium is 903 sq. cm.
