A chicken salad recipe calls for 1 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 1.0625\ pounds or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "A chicken salad recipe calls for \frac{1}{8} pound of chicken per serving . How many pounds of chicken are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving".

You can convert the Mixed number to a Decimal number. Divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 2 and then add the quotient to the Whole number. Then, you get:

8+0.5=8.5

Now divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 8 to write the fraction to a Decimal number. Then:

\frac{1}{8}= 0.125

Let be "x" the amount of pounds are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving.

Then, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}

Solving for "x", you get:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}\\\\x(\frac{1}{0.125})=8.5\\\\x=8.5*0.125\\\\x=1.0625

or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds

Approximate the zeros of the function. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. f(x) = 4x^2 + 4x - 35. Explain each step on how
svet-max [94.6K]
4x²+4x-35=0
factor: (2x+7)(2x-5)=0
2x+7=0, or 2x-5=0
2x=-7 or 2x=5
x=-3.5 or x=2.5

I don't see any rounding necessary in this case. 

when you factor ax²+bx+c, you take the two factors of a and the two factors of c, one factor of a times one factor of c, the other factor of a times the other factors, the sum of the two products make b.
in this case, the factors of 4 is 2 and 2, the factors of -35 is -5 and 7. I line them up in the following way:
2    -5

2      7
then I multiple them diagonally, the top left 2 multiplying the bottom right 7=14, and the other 2 multiplying -5=-10, 14 and -10 make a sum of 4.

if you don't get the desired sum, switch the factors up and down till you have the right combination. Note: Do not switch left and right. 

I hope this makes sense to you.

What factors cause acid rain in Canada?
vodomira [7]

Answer: The primary cause of low pH in precipitation over northeastern North America is sulphuric acid (H2SO4) from industrial and urban emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2). Nitric acid (HNO3) generated from emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is a significant contributing factor in this region.

0.25x2 -0.25x - 10.5 = 0<br><br>​
Tpy6a [65]

x=7 or x=-6

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0.25x2−0.25x−10.5=0

For this equation: a=0.25, b=-0.25, c=-10.5

0.25x2+−0.25x+−10.5=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=0.25, b=-0.25, c=-10.5.

x=

−b±√b2−4ac

2a

x=

−(−0.25)±√(−0.25)2−4(0.25)(−10.5)

2(0.25)

x=

0.25±√10.5625

0.5

x=7,−6
