Answer: The required quantity of meat ate by 3 persons is 602.4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that during 2002, the average person ate 200.8 pounds of meat.

We are to find the quantity of meat that a family of 3 people will eat in a year.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

The quantity of meat ate by 1 person = 200.8 pounds.

Therefore, the quantity of meat ate by a family of 3 persons is given by

$3\times200.8=602.4~\textup{pounds}.$

Thus, the required quantity of meat ate by a family of 3 persons is 602.4 pounds.

Hi there! An average person ate 200.8 pounds of meat, so we would multiply that number by 3 to see how much meat the family ate altogether. 200.8 * 3 is 602.4. There. A family of 3 would eat 602.4 pounds of meat in a year.

1/f=1/a+1/b solve for f

Greetings!

"Solve for f: $1/f=1/x+1/y$ ".

Multiply both sides by f.
$(1/f)*f=(1/x+1/y)*f$
Simplify.
$1=(fx+fy)/xy$
Multiply both sides by xy.
$(1)*xy=((xf+yf)/xy)*xy$
Simplify.
$xy=xf+yf$
Factor out f.
$xy=f(x+y)$
Divide both sides by x+y.
$(xy)/x+y=(f(x+y))/x+y$
Simplify.
$(xy)/(x+y)=f$
$f=(xy)/(x+y)$

Had to change the variable as Brainly thought it was a swearword. Sorry.

Hope this helps.

Solve for x.<br> X2 - 20x+ 100 = 0

lianna [129]

Answer:

X will equal 10 x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract 100 from both sides to get x^2-20x=-100 then find c. (-b/2)^2 is the formula. then c=100 so add 100 to both sides. x^2-20x+100=200. Then Factor. (x-10)^2=0 is what you should get. then do square root. x-10=0. So now add 10 to both sides and you get x=10. Tada!

Jordan swam 4 laps. Each lap is 100 meters. Jordan’s average speed for the first 3/4 of his swim was 40 meters per minute, and f

Leya [2.2K]

Answer/step-by-step explanation:

The 300/40 comes from the fact that ¾ of a 400 meter swim is 300 meters, and if you want to know how long he took to do that, you need to divide by the speed, 40 meters per minute (meters divided by meters per minute = minutes). Likewise with the 100/35—that’s the last 100 meters he swam, at the slightly slower speed.

Just to bring it all the way home, average speed is total distance divided by total time. that the total distance is 400 meters. You know the total time is 300/40 + 100/35. Average speed, then, is:

Average Speed: $= \frac{400}{\frac{300}{40} +\frac{100}{35} }$
