You are making sandwiches again. This time, one triple-decker sandwich consists of 4 slices of bread, 6 chicken slices, and 3 tomato slices. Suppose that you have 3.84 kg of slices of bread, 3.72 kg of chicken slices, and 1.26 kg of tomato slices.You also know that a dozen slices of bread weigh 360 g, a dozen slices of chicken weigh 240 g, and a dozen slices of tomato weigh 144 g. (One dozen is 12). (a) What is the maximum number of complete sandwiches you can make with the quantities you have available? (b) Which ingredient is the limiting one?

Suppose you take the car to Canada. Then you fill it up at a gas station in Canada. How many kilometers should the car be able to drive on city streets on 1.7 liters of gasoline?

Its volume is 0.74 cm3 Assume that the metal is an alloy (a mixture of solids) of gold and silver, which have densities of 19 g/cm3 and 10 g/cm3 respectively. Also assum that there is no change in volume when the pure metals are mixed. The relative amount of gold in an alloy is measured in karats. Pure gold is 24 karats; an alloy of 50% gold is 12 carats. State the proportion of gold in the jewelry in karats.arrow_forward
- At one point in time, the price of gold was about $1400 per ounce, while that of silver was about $20 an ounce. The "ounce" in this case is the troy ounce, which is equal to 31.1035 gg. (The more familiar avoirdupois ounce is equal to 28.35 g.) The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3g/cm3 and that of silver is 10.5 g/cm3.
