Processed chopped lettuce costs $0.69/lb. Whole-head lettuce costs $16.49/50lb. case. If the head of lettuce can be processed in two hours at $5.25/hour for labor, what is the relative value of processed and head lettuce if the yield is 75%?
$.69 processed; $.72 head lettuce To process head lettuce: the yield is 75% of 50 lbs = 37.50 lbs. Add the cost 16.49 + 10.50 labor = 26.99Then divide the cost by the yield $26.99/37.50 lbs = .7197333 or $0.72/lb

. Diabetic ketoacidosis is most commonly seen in which type of diabetes mellitus? Type 1 diabetes Type 2 diabetes Gestational diabetes Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)
Type 1 diabetes Diabetic ketoacidosis is commonly present when type 1 diabetes is diagnosed, though it is often mistaken for the flu.
