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? :-)

Answer:

x = 6
y = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles opposite congruent sides are congruent, so base angles D and F of this isosceles triangle have the same measure:

y = 55

__

The sum of angles in the triangle is 180°, so ...

55° +(11x +4)° +55° = 180°

11x = 66 . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 114

x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 11

The values of x and y are 6 and 55, respectively.

Solve the system by substitution.<br> y = 3x + 14<br> y = X

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{x = -7~~and~~ y =-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 14

y = x

.

x = 3x + 14

3x - x = -14

2x = -14

$x = \frac{-14}{2}$

x = -7

.

y = x

y = -7

Little Johnny is fleeing from a horde of zombies. He is 4000 feet from a safe zone where a gate will be closed in 3 minutes. If

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Johnny will be able to reach the safe zone before the gate is closed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance of Little Johnny from safe zone = 4000 feet

Time = 3 minutes

Speed = 22 mph

To find:

Will Johnny be able to reach the safe zone ?

Solution:

Johnny can only be safe if he can travel 4000 feet in 3 minutes with the given speed.

Let us try to find out, the distance that he can travel in 3 minutes at speed of 22 mph.

Let us have a look at the formula of distance traveled:

$Distance = Speed \times Time$

Time = 3 minutes = $\frac{3}{60}$ hrs

Speed = 22 mph

$Distance = 22 \times \frac{3}{60}\\\Rightarrow Distance = \dfrac{22}{20}\ miles \\\Rightarrow Distance = 1.1\ miles$

We know that 1 mile = 5280 feet

Therefore 1.1 miles = 5280 $\times$ 1.1 feet = 5808 feet

Distance traveled by Little Johnny is greater than 4000 feet.

Therefore Johnny will be able to reach the safe zone before the gate is closed.
