Question

we collect around 1000 seeds per sunflower. A sunflower seed weighs about 0.05 grams. approximately 25 liters of oil are extracted from 100 kilograms of sunflower seeds. Lénaïc uses 3 tablespoons of his salad sauce (for 6 people). The content of 6 tablespoons of oil is approximately equal to 1 deciliter. How many sunflowers do you need to plant to produce the oil needed to make salad dressing? can I have the explanation with the answer?

Tout d'abord, calculons combien d'huile une graine de tournesol produit.

Si 100 kilogrammes de graines de tournesol produisent 25 litres d'huile, nous pouvons déterminer combien d'huile une seule graine produit :

1. Convertissons 100 kilogrammes en grammes, puisque nous savons que le poids d'une seule graine est en grammes :
100 kilogrammes = 100,000 grammes

2. Ensuite, divisons le volume total d'huile par le poids total des graines pour obtenir le rendement en huile par gramme de graines :
25 litres (25,000 millilitres) / 100,000 grammes = 0,25 millilitres par gramme

3. Puisque nous savons qu'une graine de tournesol pèse environ 0,05 gramme, calculons combien d'huile une graine produit :
0,05 gramme * 0,25 millilitres par gramme = 0,0125 millilitres par graine

Maintenant, calculons combien de graines nous devons planter pour obtenir 1 décilitre (100 millilitres) d'huile, sachant que 6 cuillères à soupe d'huile sont environ égales à 1 décilitre :

1 décilitre / 0,0125 millilitres par graine = 100 millilitres / 0,0125 millilitres par graine = 8000 graines

Nous avons besoin de 8000 graines pour produire 1 décilitre d'huile.

Ensuite, déterminons combien de tournesols nous devons planter pour produire l'huile nécessaire à la sauce salade. Puisque Lénaïc utilise 3 cuillères à soupe de sauce pour 6 personnes, et 6 cuillères à soupe équivalent à 1 décilitre, nous avons besoin de la moitié d'un décilitre pour 3 cuillères à soupe :

La moitié d'un décilitre est de 50 millilitres, donc nous effectuons le même calcul :

50 millilitres / 0,0125 millilitres par graine = 4000 graines

Puisqu'un tournesol produit environ 1000 graines :

4000 graines / 1000 graines par tournesol = 4 tournesols

Donc, Lénaïc devrait planter 4 tournesols pour produire suffisamment d'huile pour sa sauce Salade pour 6 personnes.

\boxed{4 \text{ tournesols}}

there are 500,000 bacteria at the end of a pin point. 1000 bacteria can make a person sick. then bacteria at the tip of a pin point can make 500 people sick. Also, many people do not know that bacteria can (reproduce). Let's say there are 5 bacteria and we leave it for 15 minutes. bacteria will multiply to 10. if left for up to 30 minutes, 20 bacteria will form. if left up to 45 minutes. bacteria will multiply up to 40. every 15 minutes the bacteria will double 2. if you start with five bacteria that reproduce every 15 minutes, how manu bacteria would you have after 12 hours ?
