Answer:
<em>I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
Each person is planned to eat 2 x 3/8 pound servings of turkey for thanksgiving dinner. This means each person will eat

pounds of turkey.
There are going to be 15 people at the dinner, thus the total turkey needed is:

The turkey costs $1.05 per pound, thus the total cost is
22.5*$1.05 = $23.63
I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63
This is the concept of application of quadratic expressions. Given that the height of the ball is modeled by the equation;
h=-7.3t^2+8.25t+2.1+5
The time taken for the ball to hit the ground will be given as falls;
-7.3t^2+8.25t+7.1=0
to solve for t we use the quadratic formula;
t=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
a=-7.3, b=8.25, c=2.1
t=[-8.25+/-sqrt[8.25^2+4*7.3*7.1]/(-2*7.3)
t= -0.572
or
t=1.702
since there is not negative time we take the time taken for the ball to hit the ground will be: t=1.702 sec

Answer:
5 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:
*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.

Expanding, you get:

And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.

Solving by factoring:

This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
