Each pound of potato salad serves 6 people and the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served will be 
pound.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
At a party of 102 people, 17 pounds of potato salad is served.
<u>a.</u> Suppose, each pound of potato salad is served to 
number of people.
So, 17 pounds of salad is served to 
or 
number of people. That means......
So, each pound of potato salad is served to 6 people.
<u>b.</u> Suppose, the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served is 
So, the total number of pounds of salad, served to 102 people 
pounds 
pounds. That means .....
So, the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served will be pound.
There's only one decimal point in the answer. This is quite obvious. Regardless of whether or not your adding, subtracting, dividing, or multiplying, there's really only going to be one decimal, ever. This doesn't change, However, what DOES change are decimal PLACES.
Looking at the problem, you see both .6 and .4 are placed to the right of the decimal, otherwise known as the tenths place (1/10).
Looking at 1.9, you see you have one number (1) placed to the left of the decimal, the ones place, and another number placed to the right of the decimal (9), in the tenths place.
Well, this is simple. You can look and see that your multiplying fractions against a whole number, which will of course make this whole number even smaller. By how much though??
Well, you can really tell this by looking at how MANY numbers are behind the decimal. You have .9, .4, and .6
That's 3 numbers behind the decimal place. This may not help you solve the problem itself, but this tells you here (ignoring the 1, that will be taken out immediately while solving and turned into a 0) that you will have 3 numbers placed from the tenths place all the way to the thousandths place.
Basically, this tells you that you'll have three decimal places to the right of the decimal.
As for rewriting your problem to better show this, that's simple too.
All you have to do is simple multiplication, just in the tenths place. How? You know that 6*4 (referring to .6 and .4) is 24, that means that .6*.4 will be .24
How does this support your answer before? .24 has TWO numbers to the right of the decimal. That's TWO decimal places. With the .9 in 1.9, that's still THREE decimal places to the right of the decimal, and your answer would be the same.
So, here's it re-written.
1.9*.24=X

Answer:
6 , 3 should be the midpoint
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:uidelines called the order of operations, which outlines the order in which parts of an expression must be simplified.
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
When simplifying mathematical expressions perform the operations in the following order:
1. Parentheses and other Grouping Symbols
Simplify all expressions inside the parentheses or other grouping symbols, working on the innermost parentheses first.
2. Exponents
Simplify all expressions with exponents.
3. Multiplication and Division
Perform all multiplication and division in order from left to right. These operations have equal priority.
4. Addition and Subtraction
Perform all addition and subtraction in order from left to right. These operations have equal priority
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The second choice is correct: slope is 3/4, y-intercept is 1
Step-by-step explanation: The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Look for places where the line intersects the grid at "cross-points" like (-4,-2) (0,1) and (4,4)
The slope is rise/run.
The difference in y-values is the rise. 4-1=3 1-(-2) is 3.
The rise is 3.
The difference in x-values is the run. 4-0=4 0-(-4) = 4
The run is 4
Rise/run = 3/4 That is the slope.
