1. What is the yield ratio (ratio of servable weight to original weight) for each round? 2. What do the percentage numbers generated in the above calculations mean? 3. What is the average yield ratio (ratio of servable weight to original weight) for the thre rounds calculated above?
- According to the problem, the yield ratio is given by,
For round 1
Servable weight = 16 lb. and 2 oz. or 16 pounds and 2 ounces
Original weight = 19 lb. and 12 oz. or 19 pounds and 12 ounces
Hence, yield ratio for round 1,
(As, 1 lb. or pound = 16 oz. or ounces)
Therefore, yield percentage,
Similarly, for round 2,
Servable weight = 17 lb. and 15 oz. or 17 pounds and 15 ounces
Original weight = 21 lb. and 13 oz. or 21 pounds and 13 ounces
Thus, yield ratio for round-2,
Hence, yield percentage for round 2,
Finally for round 3,
Servable weight = 16 lb. and 14 oz. or 16 pounds and 14 ounces
Original weight = 20 lb. and 9 oz. or 20 pounds and 9 ounces
The yield ratio for round-3 will be,
Thus, yield percentage for round-3,
- The percentage numbers in the above calculations represent the percentage amount of edible portion from the original purchased amount of each round.
For, round-1, the edible amount from the original is, 81.64 %
For, round-2, the edible amount from the purchased (AP) amount is, 82.23 %
For round-3, the edible portion from the purchased amount is, 82.067 %
