ls and all of the traditional holiday food. Unfortunately, her daughter forgot to tell her that she was bringing three of her college friends. If Mrs. Gainey wanted to feed each person the same amount of turkey that she had originally planned, how much additional turkey must she purchase to accommodate these additional guests? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth. What percent is each person’s intended serving of turkey reduced?

Each person was to have 1.5 pounds of turkey, but, with the extra people she would have to buy an additional 4.5 pounds of turkey. If she didn’t buy anymore turkey then everyone would get 1.25 pounds of turkey, which is about 1/6 less of what they would have originally gotten. 1/6 is equal to 16.7% or 0.167.

Prove that can you please prove and explain it plz ​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LHS = Sin² ∅ + Sin² ∅*tan² ∅

        = Sin² ∅ [1 + tan² ∅ ]                 {Sec² ∅ - tan² ∅  = 1}

         = Sin² ∅ *Sec² ∅

         = Sin² ∅ * \frac{1}{Cos^{2} }

         = Sin² ∅ /Cos² ∅

        =  tan² ∅  = RHS

You buy a 1:1000 scale model of the Statue of Liberty during a trip to New York City. The height of the model is 9.3 centimeters
yanalaym [24]
The Statue of Liberty is 93 meters tall. If you have a model that is 9.3 centimeters and is 1/1000 the size of the actual Statue, then you would multiply the model by 1000 to get 9,300 centimeters. To get this number in meters, you would divide your result by 100. This would give you 93 meters.

Sorry if the explanation is worded poorly, the answer is 93 meters.
