List of variables:
ounces: Store the weight of the breakfast meal in ounces.
result: Store the weight in metric tons.
List of functions used:
ceil(): Calculate the ceiling value of the function.
cin(): To take input from input streams like keyboard, files, etc.
cout(): To display the output.
Summary Introduction:
Program will use Main () method to prompt the user to enter the weight of the breakfast meal in ounces and convert it into metric tons and also find the number of boxes needed to yield one metric ton of cereal.
Program Description:
Purpose of program is to find the weight in metric tons and also find the number of boxes needed to yield one metric ton of cereal.
Explanation of Solution
Program:
Following is the C++ program to find the weight in metric tons, and to find the number of boxes needed to yield one metric ton of cereal.
#include <iostream> #include <cmath> using namespace std; int main() { float ounces; cout<< "Enter the weight of the breakfast meal in ounces: "; cin>> ounces; // Conversion from ounces to metric tons float result = ounces/35273.92; cout<<endl; cout<< "The weight of the package of breakfast in metric ton is : " << result; cout<<endl; cout<< "The number of boxes needed to yield the one metric ton of cereal are: " << ceil(1/result); cout<<endl; return 0; }
Explanation:
In the above program,the user prompts the weight of the breakfast meal in ouncesand the formula to convert the weight from ounce to metric ton is used. The number of boxes needed is the reciprocal of the weight in metric tons. Then cout() function is used to show the output of the program.
Sample Output:
Following is the sample output for the given program:
Enter the weight of the breakfast meal in ounces: 350 The weight of the package of breakfast in metric ton is : 0.00992235 The number of boxes needed to yield the one metric ton of cereal are : 101

- One acre of land is equivalent to 43,560 square feet. Write a program that calculates the number of acres in a tract of land with 389,767 square feet.arrow_forwardWrite a program that computes the molecular weight of a carbohydrate (ingrams per mole) based on the number of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygenatoms in the molecule. The program should prompt the user to enter thenumber of hydrogen atoms, the number of carbon atoms, and the numberof oxygen atoms. The program then prints the total combined molecularweight of all the atoms based on these individual atom weights:Atom Weight(grams I mole)H 1.00794c 12.01070 15.9994For example, the molecular weight of water (H20) is: 2(1.00794) +15.9994 = 18.01528.arrow_forwardBody Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of health on weight. It can be calculated by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing by the square of your height in meters. Write a program which prompts the user to enter the weight in kgs (integer value) and height in feet and inches (both integers) and then calculates the BMI of the person. Your program first need to convert inches to meters (i.e. inches * 0.0254) and then use the following formula to calculate BMI: weight kilogram / (height_meter)^2 Your program displays the BMI value in two decimal places and the corresponding status as shown in the examples below. Note that one inch is 0.0254 meters and 1 foot is 12 inches. For example: Input Result 62 5 10 89 6 0 45 BMI BMI < 18.5 18.5 s BMI < 25.0 25.0 ≤ BMI < 30.0 30.0 ≤ BMI 7 82 5 Interpretation Underweight Normal Overweight Obese 2 Enter weight (kg): Enter height (feet): Enter height (inches): BMI is 19.61, Normal Enter weight (kg): Enter height (feet): Enter height (inches): BMI is…arrow_forward
- When Jacob Steinberg began his trip from California to Vermont, he filled his car’s tank with gas and reset its trip meter to 0. After traveling 324 miles, Jacob stopped at a gas station to refuel; the gas tank required 17 gallons. Jacob wants a program that calculates and displays his car’s gas mileage at any time during the trip. The gas mileage is the number of miles his car can be driven per gallon of gas. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using 324 as the number of miles driven and 17 as the number of gallons used; then desk-check it using 280 and 15.arrow_forwardIn Python Write a program that computes the fuel efficiency for a multi-leg journey. The program will first prompt for the starting odometer reading and then get information about a series of legs. For each leg, the user enters the current odometer reading and the amount of gas used (separated by a space). The user signals the end of the trip with a blank line. The program should print the miles per gallon achieved on each leg and the total MPG for the triparrow_forwardGiven an airplane's acceleration and take-off speed v, you can compute the minimum runway length needed for an airplane to take off using the following formula. length=v^2/2*a. write a program that prompts the user to enter V in meters and acceleration an in meter/second and display the minimum runway length.arrow_forward

Write a program that prompts a user for the number of eggs in the order and then display the amount owed with a full explanation using the following wording: You ordered 27 eggs. That’s 2 dozen at $3.25 per dozen and 3 loose eggs at 45 cents each for a total of $7.85.

- Transient PopulationPopulations are affected by the birth and death rate, as well as the number of people who move in and out each year. The birth rate is the percentage increase of the population due to births and the death rate is the percentage decrease of the population due to deaths. Write a program that displays the size of a population for any number of years. The program should ask for the following data: The starting size of a population P The annual birth rate (as a percentage of the population expressed as a fraction in decimal form)B The annual death rate (as a percentage of the population expressed as a fraction in decimal form)D The average annual number of people who have arrived A The average annual number of people who have moved away M The number of years to display nYears Write a function that calculates the size of the population after a year.

For example, if a house is valued at $158,000 its assessed value is $94,800. This is the amount the homeowner pays tax on. At last year’s tax rate of $2.64 for each $100 of assessed value, the annual property tax for this house would be $2502.72. Write a program that asks the user to input the actual value of a piece of property and the current tax rate for each $100 of assessed value. The program should then calculate and report how much annual property tax the homeowner will be charged for this property.arrow_forward
