You need to make an inequality. You know 5 pounds will serve 14 people but you don't know how much you need to serve 49 people so you need to set up the equation \frac{5}{14} * \frac{x}{49} . You then cross multiply to get 14x=245. Finally you divide 14 on both sides to get x=17.5 lbs of pasta salad

How are absolute values used to describe quantities ?
Nady [450]

Answer:

Absolute value is a number's distance from 0, so when comparing quantities, such as positive and negative, the greater absolute value is of that number.

For ex:

|-11| > |6| ,  because |-11| = 11, |6| = 6, and 11 > 6.

So, |-11| > |6|

x = number of cars passing the point per minute on a weekend.

Then,
x= (69*17)/139 = 8.43 db ≈ 8 db
