question:Jack makes his own cold brew coffee. He makes it in batches of 1.5 gallons. He drinks x ounces of coffee every 2 days. It takes 20 hours to make coffee. He spends 120 making coffee over 24 days. What is the value of unknown variable x? What is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine the value of x, which represents the number of ounces of coffee Jack drinks every 2 days. Let's break down the information given: Batch size of cold brew coffee: 1.5 gallons Amount of coffee Jack drinks every 2 days: x ounces Time it takes to make coffee: 20 hours Time spent making coffee over 24 days: 120 hours We can set up the equation as follows: Time spent making coffee / Time it takes to make coffee = Number of batches made 120 hours / 20 hours = Number of batches made 6 batches = Number of batches made Since each batch is 1.5 gallons, the total amount of coffee made is: 6 batches * 1.5 gallons/batch = 9 gallons Since 1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces, the total amount of coffee made is: 9 gallons * 128 ounces/gallon = 1152 ounces If Jack drinks x ounces every 2 days over 24 days, the total amount of coffee he drinks is: Number of 2-day periods in 24 days = 24 days / 2 days = 12 periods Total amount of coffee Jack drinks = x ounces/period * 12 periods = 12x ounces We can set up the equation as follows: Total amount of coffee made - Total amount of coffee Jack drinks = 1152 ounces - 12x ounces Now, we know that the difference is equal to 0 because all the coffee made is consumed by Jack: 1152 ounces - 12x ounces = 0 Let's solve for x: -12x = -1152 To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by -12: x = -1152 / -12 x = 96 The value of x is 96. 96 The answer is: 96
question:What is the sum of the angles theta_1, theta_2, theta_3, and theta_4 in degrees, for the solutions to the equation z^4 = -16i, which can be expressed in the form z_k = r_k (cos theta_k + i sin theta_k), with r_k > 0 and 0^circ le theta_k < 360^circ?
answer:We can write -16i in exponential form as 16 operatorname{cis} 270^circ. To find the solutions to z^4 = -16i, we take the fourth roots of 16 operatorname{cis} 270^circ. The magnitude of 16 operatorname{cis} 270^circ is sqrt{16}=4, so the magnitude of the fourth roots is sqrt[4]{4}=2. The principal fourth root of 16 operatorname{cis} 270^circ is 2 operatorname{cis} left(frac{270}{4}right) = 2 operatorname{cis} 67.5^circ. The other three fourth roots can be found by adding multiples of 90^circ to the angle. So the four solutions are 2 operatorname{cis} 67.5^circ, 2 operatorname{cis} 157.5^circ, 2 operatorname{cis} 247.5^circ, and 2 operatorname{cis} 337.5^circ. The angles theta_1, theta_2, theta_3, and theta_4 are 67.5^circ, 157.5^circ, 247.5^circ, and 337.5^circ. The sum of these angles is 67.5^circ + 157.5^circ + 247.5^circ + 337.5^circ = boxed{810^circ}. The answer is: 810
question:Cody was reading through his favorite book series. The series was 54 books in total. If Cody read 6 books the first week, and x books the second week and then 9 books every week after that. How many weeks did it take Cody to read his series? If we know the answer to the above question is 7, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:Cody read 6 books the first week. In the second week, he read x books. After the second week, he read 9 books every week. We can calculate the total number of books Cody read by adding the number of books he read in each week: 6 + x + 9w, where w represents the number of weeks after the second week. We are given that Cody read a total of 54 books, so we can write: 6 + x + 9w = 54. We are also given that it took Cody 7 weeks to read the series, so we can write: w = 7 - 2 = 5 (subtracting the first two weeks). Substituting the value of w, we get: 6 + x + 9(5) = 54. Simplifying the equation, we get: 6 + x + 45 = 54. Combining like terms, we get: x + 51 = 54. Subtracting 51 from both sides, we get: x = 3. The value of x is 3. 3 The answer is: 3
question:Apartment rentals in Fairview run 0.90 per square foot. Jillian has determined that she can afford 630 per month for rent. What is the largest apartment, in square feet, she should consider at the given rate?
answer:Since Jillian can afford 630 per month for rent, and the rental rate is 0.90 per square foot, we can set up the equation 0.90x=630, where x is the number of square feet in the apartment. Solving for x, we find x=frac{630}{0.90}=700 square feet. Therefore, Jillian should consider apartments that are at most boxed{700} square feet in size.The answer is: 700
