Raheem made 14 ounces of curry sauce which contained (among other things), 3.25 ounces of spices. He wants to make a larger batch for a family dinner and decides he will need a total of 84 ounces of sauce altogether. How many ounces of spices will he need to complete his recipe?

19.5 ounces of spices

Step-by-step explanation:

Raheem made 14 ounces of curry sauce which contained (among other things), 3.25 ounces of spices. He wants to make a larger batch for a family dinner and decides he will need a total of 84 ounces of sauce altogether. How many ounces of spices will he need to complete his recipe?

The question above is calculated as:

14 ounces of sauce = 3.25 ounces of spices

84 ounces of sauce = x ounces of spices

Cross Multiply

14x = 84 × 3.25

x = 84 × 3.25/14

x = 19.5 ounces of spices

Hence, for 84 ounces of curry sauce he would need 19.5 ounces of spices

a. 12.5 kg

step-by-step explanation:

f = ma

so

m = f/a = (2500 n)/(200 m/s²) = 12.5 kg

1 n = 1 kg·m/s²

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
