A typical high school student consumes 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. As part of a new nutrition plan, each member of the track

team plans to lower the sugar he or she consumes by at least 20% for the coming year. Assuming each track member had consumed sugar at the level of a typical high school student and will adhere to this plan for the coming year, what is the maximum number of pounds of sugar to be consumed by each track team member in the coming year?

Answer:

54 Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that they start off with 67.5 pounds of sugar and they need to reduce it by 20%. We also know from the problem that we want to know the MAXIMUM amount of sugar consumed by each track member.

The typical high school student consumes about 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. That is our first piece of the problem

67.5

We now know that 20% of it needs to be reduced. This means that we can multiply it by 0.8 because that is 20% less than 100% of the sugar.

67.5 x 0.8

This leads the answer to be 54 Pounds

Hope this helped :D

Please solve and explain for number 2
chubhunter [2.5K]
The ratios as fractions are 6/8 and 9/11.
Since they are not compare because they have different denominators you must find the Least Common Multiple of the two fractions.
Since 8 and 11 both can go into 88, we can use that as our denominator.
6/8 times 11/11 equals 66/88     and    9/11 times 8/8 equals 72/88.
66/88 is less than 72/88.

Therefor, Mix B is the reddest mixture.

Hope this helped!! :)

A spinner with 9 equal sections is numbered 1 through 9. The probability of spinning a 1 or a 9 is 2/9 . What is the probability
shtirl [24]
The probability of NOT getting a 1 or a 9 means you have to subtract those two numbers and how many of each are out. Once you do that, count the remaining numbers, put them as the numerator, and then put the overall total of numbers as the denominator. Your answer is 7/9.
