Answer:

Amanda bought 24 pounds of turkey for the eve of Christmas. She decided to cook one third of the turkey for the guests coming over lunch. So she will cook one third of 24 pounds that is 8 pounds of turkey for the lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a multiplication problem $24(\frac{1}{3} )=8$ .

<em>Basically it says one third of 24 is 8. </em>

So a real life representation of the following multiplication problem can be represented as follows:

Anita can clean a typical pool in 8 hours. Chao can clean a typical pool in 6 hours. How long should it take Anita and Chao work

Sergio039 [100]

1) we calculate the portion of pool cleaned by Anita in a hour.
1 pool cleaned-----------------8 hour
x-----------------------------------1 hour

x=(1 pool cleaned * 1 hour) / 8 hour=1/8 portion cleaned.

2) we calculate the portion of pool cleaned by Chao in a hour.
1 pool cleaned-----------------6 hour
x-----------------------------------1 hour

x=(1 pool cleaned * 1 hour) / 6 hour=1/6 portion cleaned.

3) we can suggest this equation:
x=number of hour

x(1/8+1/6)=1

(number of hour)*(portion of pool cleaned by Anita in a hour + portion of pool cleaned by Chao in a hour)=1 pool cleaned.

4) we solve this equation:
x(1/8 + 1/6 )=1

1/8+1/6=(3+4)/24=7/24
least common multiple (8,6)=24

x(7/24)=1
x=(1*24)/7
x=24/7≈3.43 (3 hours, 25 minutes, 43 seconds)

Answer:together they cleaned the pool in 3 hours, 25 minutes and 43 seconds.

Find the center and radius for the circle, given the equation: x^2-14x+y^2+8=16

Strike441 [17]

You can do this by completing the square

x^2 - 14x + y^2 + 8 = 16

(x - 7)^2 - 49 + (y + 4)^2 - 16 = 16

(x - 7)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 16 + 16 + 49 = 81

so the center is at (7 , -4) and radius = sqrt81 = 9

MAXImum [283]

Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
so equation
y + 9 = -2(x - 10)

answer is A
y + 9 = -2(x - 10)

Gala2k [10]

Since she has seven key the probability that the first one will open the door is
$\frac{1}{7}$
if it takes three attempts to open the door,the probability is
$\frac{1}{3}$
if the three attempts would not work
then the probability that the fourth attempt will open the door is
$\frac{1}{4}$
hope this helps
