While drying, peach loses 11% of its weight. how much fresh peach is needed to get 7 3/25 lbs of dried peach?

8 pounds is needed for of dried peach .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the initial weight of the peach be x .

As given

While drying, peach loses 11% of its weight.

11% is written in the decimal form.

= 0.11

Thus

Loses weight = 0.11x

weight of the peach after dried = Original weight - Loses weight

                                                    = x - 0.11x

As given

i.e

Thus

Therefore the 8 pounds is needed for of dried peach .

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
