we know that

$1pound$ -------> is equal to ------> $16 ounces$

By proportion

$\frac{1}{16}\frac{pound}{ounces} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{pounds}{ounce} \\ \\ x=\frac{1}{16} pounds$

therefore

the answer is

one ounce is equal to $\frac{1}{16}$ $pounds$

A restaurant uses 4.375 pounds of cheese for every pizzas. At this rate, how many pounds of cheese are used per pizza?

faltersainse [42]

Complete Question:

A restaurant uses 4.375 pounds of cheese every 8 and 3/4 pizzas. At this rate how many pounds of cheese are used per pizza?

Answer:

0.5 pounds of cheese are used per pizza

Solution:

Given that,

A restaurant uses 4.375 pounds of cheese every 8 and 3/4 pizzas

Therefore,

$4.375\ pounds = 8\frac{3}{4}\ pizza \\\\4.375\ pounds = \frac{35}{4}\ pizza$

We have to find pounds used per pizza

Let "x" be the pounds used per pizza

Then,

$4.375\ pounds = \frac{35}{4}\ pizza \\\\x\ pounds = 1\ pizza$

By cross multiplying,

$4.375 \times 1 = x \times \frac{35}{4} \\\\x = 0.5$

Thus, 0.5 pounds of cheese are used per pizza

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The base and height of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is, A = 24 ft².

The base height of the garden are:

base (b) = 6x - 4

height (h) = x + 3

Compute the value of x as follows:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times b \times h\\\\24=\frac{1}{2}\times (6x-4) \times (x+3)\\\\48=6x^{2}+18x-4x-12\\\\6x^{2}+14x-60=0\\\\3x^{2}+7x-30=0\\$

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

Compute the roots of the quadratic equation as follows:

$x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{14^2 - 4(3)(-30)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{556}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ -14 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{2\sqrt{139}\, }{ 6 }\\x = -\frac{ 7}{ 3 } \pm \frac{ \sqrt{139}\, }{ 3 }\\x = 1.59661\\x\approx 1.60$

The value of base and height are:

$\text{base}=6x-4=(6\times 1.60)-4=5.60\ \text{ft}\\\\\text{height}=x+3=1.60+3=4.60\ \text{ft}$

Thus, the base and height of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Factor 2x^2-128 completely

Alina [70]

2x² - 128

2(x² - 64), but (x² - 64) = x² - 8² (difference of 2 squares),[a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)]

2(x² - 64) = 2(x² - 8²) = 2(x-8)(x+8)
