You start by changing the fraction into a decimal.

4.5 lb. of ground beef= 16.11

6.25 lb. of ground turkey= 18.50

Next, you divide the amount they cost by the pounds to get the price per pound.

16.11÷4.5= 3.58

18.50÷6.25= 2.96

So, a pound of beef is $3.58, and a pound of turkey is $2.96.

The turkey is 62 cents less than the beef per pound.

That means the turkey is a better buy! :)

(Have a good day! :))

Answer:

Solutions: $x = \frac{-3}{ 4} + i \sqrt{39}$ , $x = \frac{-3}{4} - i \sqrt{39}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation, 2x² + 3x + 6 = 0, where a =2, b = 3, and c = 6:

Use the <u>quadratic equation</u> and substitute the values for a, b, and c to solve for the solutions:

$x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

$x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{3^{2} - 4(2)(6)} }{2(2)}$

$x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{9- 48} }{4}$

$x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{-39} }{4}$

$x = \frac{-3 + i \sqrt{39} }{4}$ , $x = \frac{-3 - i \sqrt{39} }{4}$

Therefore, the solutions to the given quadratic equation are:

$x = -\frac{3}{ 4} + i \sqrt{39}$ , $x = -\frac{3}{4} - i \sqrt{39}$

Ne4ueva [31]

1 turn is 7 5/6 feet

$423 / 7 \frac{5}{6} = 423 / \frac{47}{6} = 423 * \frac{6}{47} =9*6 = 54$
