Answer:

O weight in kilograms = 25 x 3.5 ÷ 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

As a butcher, you sell beef in 3.5-pound packages. You anticipate needing 25 packages for the next two days.

Therefore, the total number of pounds for the 25 packages =

3.5 pound packages × 25

= 87.5 pounds

We are told that : The wholesaler from whom you purchase large pieces of meat measures the weight of the beef in kilograms.

Note that:

2.2 pounds = 1 kg

Hence:

87.5 pounds =

= 87.5÷ 2.2

= 39.772727273 kg

He needs to buy 39.772727273kg from the wholesaler

The equation can you use to determine the weight of the beef, in kilograms, that you need to purchase from the wholesaler is:

O weight in kilograms = (25 x 3.5) ÷ 2.2

To an order of magnitude, how many piano tuners are in New York City? The physicist Enrico Fermi was famous for asking questions

Olin [163]

Suppose that the population of NYC is 10,000,000, and there're average of 3 people per household
= 3.3 million HHs
and 1 in 10 HHs has a piano
= 330,000 pianos

on average, a piano is tuned once a year
= 330,000 tuning per year
= 6,000 tunings per week

suppose a piano tuner works 5 days a week and handling 5 pianos a day. That will be 25 pianos a week

hence, you need 6,000/25 = 240 tuners

Write a function rule for your bacterium in the table where h is the number of hours, and b(h) is the bacterium at h hours.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

b(h) = 4^h

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of counts from one hour to the next is 4/1 = 16/4 = 64/16 ... = 4. The count at h=0 is 1, so that is the multiplier of the exponential term.

b(x) = 1×4^h
