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

1 answer:

3 0

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? :-)

6y^2-25y+14 factor Help please

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(3y - 2)(2y - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term

Product = 6 × 14 = 84 and sum = - 25

The required factors are - 4 and - 21

Use these factors to split the y- term

6y² - 4y - 21y + 14 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2y(3y - 2) - 7(3y - 2) ← factor out (3y - 2) from each term

= (3y - 2)(2y - 7) ← in factored form

Answer:

(d) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles opposite sides of the same measure are congruent. Here, the triangle is isosceles, so the base angles are congruent:

2x = 32

x = 16 . . . . . . divide by 2°

A company makes rubber rafts. 12% of them develop cracks within the first month of operation. 27 new rafts are randomly sampled

rewona [7]

The probability that the number of tested rafts that develop cracks is no more than 3 is .00006.

The true proportion, p for the population is given to 0.12.

Thus, the mean, μ, for the sample = np = 27*0.12 = 3.24.

The sample size, n, given to us is 27.

Thus, the standard deviation, s, for the sample can be calculated using the formula, s = √{p(1 - p)}/n.

s = √{0.12(1 - 0.12)}/27 = √0.003911 = 0.0625389.

We are asked to calculate the probability that the number of tested rafts that develop cracks is no more than 3, that is, we need to calculate P(X ≤3).

P(X ≤ 3)

= P(Z ≤ {(3 - 3.24)/0.0625389) {Using the formula z = (x - μ)/s}

= P(Z ≤ -3.8376114706)

= .00006 {From table}.

Thus, the probability that the number of tested rafts that develop cracks is no more than 3 is .00006.

A. Transform F using the rule (x, y) → (-x, y) (1 pt.)

serg [7]

Answer:

A: (-3,4) (-3,6) (-5,6) (-7,4)

B: The transformation would be described as a reflection over the y axis

C: The transformation does result in a congruent figure because the shape doesn't change in size or shape and in length or width

Step-by-step explanation:

So our plots from the figure are: (3,4) (3,6) (5,6) (7,4)

So using the rule (x, y) → (-x, y) are new points would be:

(-3,4)

(-3,6)

(-5,6)

(-7,4)

This rule (x, y) → (-x, y) is used for the type of transformation that is a reflection but over the y axis.

Can you describe it a little more- I have no clue how I’m suppose to solve that.
