a little math problem
 

Fresh Mango contains 70% water by weight whereas dry mango contains 10% water by weight. What is the weight of dry mango that can be obtained from 20 kg of Fresh Mango?




:winkwink:

Do you seriously need help with this?

7.4kg I think

1 lbs 8 oz?

ok...im not going to edit that because then i would feel like a bigger retard...

so 1.5kg

140kg? (if your asking to find the same amount of water)
if not
20kg, because 1 dry mango weighs as much as 1 fresh mango

Ive re-worded it so that some of you retards might be able to work it out a little easier...

Fresh Pussy contains 70% water by weight whereas dry pussy contains 10% water by weight. What is the weight of dry pussy that can be obtained from 20 kg of Fresh Pussy?

Changing my answer to 8kg

20kg

Ok lets break this problem down, shall we?

We know that a fresh mango contains 70% water by weight. Therefore 20 kg of fresh mangos contain 14 kg of water and 6 kg
of mango "solids".

We also know that dried mangoes contain 10% water by weight. If we have 6kg of mango "solids" that means that in a dried mango there are .6kg of water.

Thus the total weight of the dried mangos is 6.6kg.

Took long enough... guess the pussy aspect worked :thumbsup

Wrong I think.....

Which part?

2kg?

You say that it is 6kg of mango solids - so NO water

70% of 20kg's is 14kg, so when you dry it and it is 10% water you still use 20kgs as the ammount - so 10% of 20kg is 2kg plus your 6kgs of "solids" and you have 8kg of dry mango

yeah i like 8 now as well

20 * .3 = 6kg mango * 1.1(water) = 6.6kg

amateurs

No. The original statement said dried mango's contain 10% water by weight. Not that dried mangos contain 10% of the their original weight.

I think perhaps this thread offers an insite into the "shaving" issue. Perhaps there really is no such thing as shaving, but rather 95% of the people in this industry suck at math.

Changing my answer again - 6.6kg

I used to be good at this sort of thing

Warning: Porn rots the brain!

yeah, 6.6kg seems fine

but the question is not well formulated :(

Actually cant be 6.6

10% water = .66kg


6.6 - .66 = 5.94

We know that the "solids" must be 6kgs, so it cant be 6.6

I think I need to lay down now........ who asked this anyway!! :feels-hot

ah well fuck it..i never wrote anyting down..just guessed quickly


i should be all over this...i did get a math degree

damn..i guess i need to be doing more then right click copy and paste to keep it up:winkwink:

20 * .3 = 6kg mango

total - 0.1(total) = 6kg

total = 6 2/3 Kg

thats how its done kiddies
(check: 6 2/3 * 0.1 = 2/3)

amateurs

E = mc^2

Definitely 6.66

If 20 kg of mango is 70% water, then you have 6 kg that is "not water."

But when you dry the mango you can't get down to just 6 kg; we know there will be some water left and the resulting substance will be 10% water by weight.

The rest is algebra:

X = 6 + .10X

.9X = 6

X = 6/.9

X = 6.66

5 pounds

Don't know the metric system.... sorry no help here. Convert it over to what ever we use here in the states and I will help.... pretty good in math.

Fresh Mango contains 70% water by weight whereas dry mango contains 10% water by weight. What is the weight of dry mango that can be obtained from 20 lbs of Fresh Mango?

The only calcs you need:
((20-(20*0.7))/9)*10

six point six recurring, so damn obvious!

This is the CORRECT answer. actually close to the correct answer...

this is absolutely correct

Definitely 6.66

If 20 kg of mango is 70% water, then you have 6 kg that is "not water."

But when you dry the mango you can't get down to just 6 kg; we know there will be some water left and the resulting substance will be 10% water by weight.

X = 6/.9

X = 6.66

Good Job !

But I don't even LIKE mangos.

Unless the mango is fresh from the tree, it's not worth eating anyway, so why bother to dry it?

me huh

That post gave me a Headache

14 hours and 12 minutes.................The train from Chicago will get there first !!!

You are all incorrect. The answer is 42. The answer is ALWAYS 42.:glugglug

whats up with the number 42 man...
it seems so lame :BangBang:

Damn it Jim!, I am a webmaster not a mathamatician!

Beam me up Scottie! :winkwink:
