If two pounds of meat will serve 5 people, how many pounds will be needed to serve 13 people?

You can solve this problem by finding the unit rate first!

If 2 pounds of meat serves 5 that means that 2/5 of a pound serves 1 person.

In ratio form-
1:2/5

The problem is asking how many pounds are needed to serve 13 people, so if you set up a proportion using ratios it would look like this-
1:2/5
13:x

"x" represents the unknown amount of pounds

1 times 13 gets you to 13, so multiply 2/5 by 13 as well.

You should get 5(And)1/5 pounds of meat!

Evaluate the expression when d= 75<br> 2d + –45d = 0

Aliun [14]

Answer:

- 3225

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 75

2d + ( - 45 d )

= 2 ( 75 ) - 45 ( 75 )

= 150 - 3375

= - 3225

A coordinate plane with a line drawn passing through the points (0, 3) and (3, 2).

Margaret [11]

Answer:

None of the equations given is the equation of the function. The correct equation is: $y=-\frac{x}{3}+3\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find the slope of the line that passes through these points.

The slope between two points $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given by:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

where $m$ is the slope

In this case since we have the points: $(0, 3)$ and $(3, 2).$

$x_{1}=0\\y_{1}=3\\x_{2}=3\\y_{2}=2$

and the slope will be:

$m=\frac{2-3}{3-0}=\frac{-1}{3}$

and now we have the slope we use the slope-point equation:

$y=m(x-x_{1})+y_{1}$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}(x-0)+3\\ y=-\frac{x}{3}+3\\$
