<em>The question has inconsistent or incomplete data, so I'm filling the holes with key data.</em>

Answer:

<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows

* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M

* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)

I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.

Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey

Which points are reflections of each other across both the y-axis

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Reflect over the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).

Notice that B is 5 horizontal units to the right of the y-axis, and B' is 5 horizontal units to the left of the y-axis.

The reflection of the point (x,y) across

the y-axis is the point (-x,y).

On a farm there was a cow. And on the farm there were 2 sheep. There were also 3 chickens. What is the total mass of the 1 cow,

RoseWind [281]

The total mass of the living things on the farm is 588 kg.

<h2><u>Mass calculation</u></h2>

Since on a farm there was a cow, 2 sheep and 3 chickens, to determine what is the total mass of the 1 cow, the 2 sheep, the 3 chickens, and the 1 farmer on the farm, the following calculation must be performed :

(6.2 x 10) + (4 x 10 x 10) + (2 x 6 x 10) + (3 x 2 x 1) = X
62 + 400 + 120 + 6 = X
588 = X

Therefore, the total mass of the living things on the farm is 588 kg.

What is 91,284 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand

otez555 [7]

If this is asking for the nearest hundred thousand, and not ten thousand, than you would round up to 100,000. 91,284 is close to 100,000.

The vertex of this parabola is at (2, -4). When the y-value is -3, the x-value is -3. What is the coefficient of the squared ter

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The squared term is 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola equation in the vertex form is

$y = a \times (x - h)^2 + k$

where point (h,k) is the vertex and a is the squared term. In this case h = 2 and k = -4. On the other hand, we know that y = -3 and x = -3 are in the parabola. Replacing these values in the formula gives

$-3 = a \times (-3 - 2)^2 - 4$
