Answer:

The number of minutes it take to serve 8 person in party is 24 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

To serve 1 person at a local restaurant it take 10 minutes

To serve 5 person at a local restaurant it take 18 minutes

So, From given information . it is clear that ,

For ( 1 + n ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2 n) minutes

Take  n = 1 ,  For ( 1 + 1 ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2×1) min

I.e                      for 2 person to serve , time required is 12 min

Take n = 2 ,  For ( 1 + 2 ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2×2)min

I.e                      for 2 person to serve , time required is 14 min

Similarly for n = 7

For ( 1 + 7 ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2×7) min

I.e For 8    person to serve , the time required is 24 min

Hence The number of minutes it take to serve 8 person in party is 24 min  Answer

nlexa [21]

<span>Answer is: 414 pounds of red fescue and 138 pounds of chewings fescue is needed to produce 552 pounds of mixture.</span>

<span>Explanation:
x - how much of red fescue is needed for one pound of mixture
y - how much of chewings fescue is needed for one pound of mixture</span>x*12+ y*16 = 15<span>x + y = 1
so, x=1-y
putting it into first line:</span><span>(1-y)*12 + y*16 = 15
12 - 12*y + 16*y = 15
4*y = 3
y=3/4
so, x= 1-3/4; x=1/4</span>So to produce 552 pounds of mixture we need..<span>To produce 1 pound of mixture we need: 3/4 pound of red fescue and 1/4 pound of chewing fescue so to produce 552 pounds of miture we need:
552*3/4 - red fescue, which is 414 pounds needed

Please help me with this question.​
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Monica = 48.50

Samuel = 24.25

Kara = 17.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First you write equations as you are reading the text:

m = 2s ("Monica earned twice as much as Samuel")

s = k+7 ("Samual earned 7 more than Kara")

m = 48.50

Next, you convert these equations to solve for s and k respectively.

So, if m=2s, then s=m/2:

s = m/2 = 24.25

Likewise, if s=k+7, then k=s-7

k = s-7 = 17.25

The difference between greatest and least is 48.50 - 17.25 = 31.25
