Jelly beans

Ryan has two bags of jelly beans. One weighs 10q ounces the other weighs 9 ounces. If Ryan puts the two bags together and then divides all of the jelly beans into 5 equal parts to give to his friends, how many ounces will each friend get ... 

In addition to explaining verbally the concepts of mass spectrometry, it is also helpful to explain them visually. Two ideas utilized in newborn screening, for example, is the ability of a mass spectrometer to sort molecules by their mass and determine how many of these compounds are present. One illustration uses coins while another uses jelly beans. Instructions on how to prepare and present these experiments are shown below.

After mixing the blue jelly beans in with the other colors, take a 100 mL sample. Hand that sample to two or three people in the audience and have them sort and count each. Have someone record the numbers on a piece of paper. Then have them use the following equation to calculate the number of red jelly beans in the jar.

Add about 25 mL of warm water to three to six jelly beans of each color. Allow to stand until they look white (5 to 10 min). If allowed to stand longer, too much sugar will be extracted with the colors. 

The Problem Chuck, the candy-store owner, has a large box of jelly beans that weighs 480 pounds. He wants to divide this large box into 100 smaller boxes and sell each of the smaller packages for 2.50 per pound. How much does each of the smaller boxes weigh ... 

Word problems often deal with how many of two or more coins, how many ducks and elephants, how much to invest in this or that, how many red and green jelly beans, and so on. You let variables represent the numbers of coins or ducks or dollars or jelly beans. When working with two different equations written about the same situation, then you have two different variables and need to do some algebra to knock that down to one equation. That s where substitution comes in. 

Why is that Why is chocolate the most frequently mentioned food in surveys about cravings (Actually, this is mostly true for young women men crave pizza.) While some scientists have argued that the cause Is certain compounds, such as anandamide or caffeine, which do have the potential for pharmacological activity, the consensus is that chocolate is addictive because of its flavor. Not its taste, however. Flavor is more than just taste smell and texture also come into play. Flavor chemist Dr. Sara Kisch proved this very effectively at the chocolate symposium. She handed out jelly beans of various flavors and asked us to sample them while holding our noses. They were indistinguishable. But identification was no problem once our nostrils were liberated. It was a dramatic demonstration of the role smells play in flavor detection. When the nose is pinched, no air can flow from the mouth to the nasal passage, where our...

In confections, starch is used for gelling centers and to provide attractive coatings. It is also used as a dusting powder and as an impressionable bed where candies are cast. To make jelly bean centers, starch is cooked with water, com syrup and sugar. Flavors may then be added, and the fluid is cast in impressions formed in trays of molding starch. Stacks of trays are placed in heated rooms until the candy is dry enough to be shaken from the mold, coated and packaged. 

As taught in a classroom setting, probability and statistics were uneventful subjects. Only accounting comes to mind when I try to recall my least desirable academic subject. There were moments filled with visions of jelly beans orbiting overhead, pondering the probability of one dropping from the sky to land squarely in the center of the room.
