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}}

A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Based on past experience the company has determined that the employee is equally likely to arrive at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:05 a.m. and 8:40 a.m. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

CASE 6-1: PREPARE A PRODUCTION PLAN: WHAT PROBLEMS ARRIVE? Midwest Plastics Company has conducted profit planning for several years. The president stated (with justification) that inventory control and planning had not been satisfactory, which was mainly due to poor planning of production and inventory budgets. Please analyze and provide recommendations, in detail, on the issue regarding the 20B profit plan, which is now being prepared. Their analysis and recommendations will be presented to the executive committee. Despite the seasonality factor, the sales department has been successful in developing a sales plan, on a monthly basis, for each year. The following sales data is available for 20B. 1. Sales plan summary for 20B: 2. Finished goods inventory, as of January 1, 20B, is 96,000 units. 3. Work-in-process inventory will remain constant. 4. Actual annual sales in 20A, including the estimate for December, were 350,000 units. 5. The average finished goods inventory during 20A was 70,000 units. IT IS REQUESTED. 1. Prepare the annual production budget, assuming that management policy is to budget ending finished goods inventory at a standard quantity, based on the ratio of historical sales of 20A to inventory turnover. 2. Prepare a schedule showing sales, production, and inventory levels for each month, assuming: 1) stable inventory, 2) stable production, and 3) recommended inventory-production levels. In developing your recommendations, assume that the following policies have been established: a) The president has set the policy that a maximum inventory of 85,000 units and a minimum inventory of 75,000 units should be used, except in abnormal circumstances. b) A stable level of production is definitely preferred, except that during the holiday season in July and August, production may be reduced by 25 percent. Likewise, a variation in production of 7.5 percent above and below the average level is acceptable. 3. What are the main problems faced by the company in production planning? Make your general recommendations.
