How many years will it take for a person in the United States eat 1,120 pounds of turkey (14 pounds)

If I understand you, a person eats about 14 pounds of turkey a year.  So we will divide all that turkey (1120 pounds) by 14 to find out how many years.

1,120 ÷ 14 = 80   So it will take 80 years.   (Since babies can't eat that much turkey a year it will actually take more than 80 years - or the person can eat more than 14 pounds in some years to make up for their early years when they ate less)  I know it's a math question, but I also like to be realistic about it.  Who measures the amount of turkey they eat yearly anyway?  :-)

​Find the slope of the line that passes through the points ​A​(–3, 1) and ​B​(2, –5).
Kipish [7]

Answer:

- 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( -5-1)/(2- -3)

   = (-5-1)/(2+3)

  - 6/5

Abel saved 43 more nickels than dimes. After he spent 17 dimes he had twice as many nickels than dimes. How many coins did he ha
Alborosie

Answer:

180 coins

Explanation:

N = number of nickels (no nickels spent)

D = number of dimes initially saved

D' = number of dimes left after spending

1) N = D + 43

2) D' = D - 17

3) N = 2*D' = 2*(D - 17)

Set equations 1) and 3) equal to each other and solve for D:

D + 43 = 2*(D - 17)

D + 43 = 2*D - 34

D = 43 + 34 = 77

N = D + 43 = 77 + 43 = 120 nickels left

D' = D - 17 = 77 - 17 = 60 dimes left

Total coins left = 120 + 60 = 180 coins (I hope this is not too confusing for you)

NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by h ( t ) = − 4.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

A.) 24.08 seconds

B.) 825.42 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

function of time is given as

h ( t ) = − 4.9 t 2 + 118 t + 115 .

Where a = -4.9, b = 118, c = 115

Let's assume that the trajectory of the rocket is a perfect parabola.

The time t the rocket will reach its maximum height will be at the symmetry of the parabola.

t = -b/2a

Substitute b and a into the formula

t = -118/-2(4.9)

t = 118/9.8

t = 12.041 seconds

Since NASA launches the rocket at t = 0 seconds, the time it will splash down into the ocean will be 2t.

2t = 2 × 12.041 = 24.08 seconds

Therefore, the rocket splashes down after 24.08 seconds.

B.) At maximum height, time t = 12.041s

Substitute t for 12.041 in the function

h ( t ) = − 4.9 t 2 + 118 t + 115

h(t) = -4.9(12.041)^2 + 118(12.041) + 115

h(t) = -4.9(144.98) + 118(12.041) + 115

h(t) = -710.402 + 1420.82 + 115

h(t) = 825.42 metres

Therefore, the rocket get to the peak at 825.42 metres

An automobile traveling at the rate of 30 ft/sec is approaching an intersection. When the automobile is 120 feet from the inters
Trava [24]

Answer:

Distance between automobile and the truck is 100 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the automobile towards the intersection = 30 ft per sec

Speed of the truck that crosses the intersection = 40 ft per sec.

Automobile is 120 feet apart when the truck passes through the intersection.

After 2 seconds distance traveled by the automobile = Speed × time

= 30 × 2

= 60 feet

So the distance of the automobile from the intersection = 120 - 60

= 60 feet

Distance traveled by truck in 2 seconds = 40 × 2

= 80 feet

Now distance between them can be calculated by Pythagoras theorem

Distance = \sqrt{(60)^{2}+(80)^{2}}

= \sqrt{3600+6400}

= \sqrt{10000}

= 100 feet

Therefore, after 2 seconds distance between the truck and the automobile will be 100 feet.
