If you would like to find a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
c = 2d + 1
c = 3d + 5
__________
c = c
2d + 1 = 3d + 5
2d - 3d = 5 - 1
- d = 4
d = -4
The correct result would be <span>2d + 1 = 3d + 5.</span>
I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30.
It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.
Three reasons why the other method is not better is because to use drawing program would mean you would need some sort of technology and electricity to use it and some places, like third world countries, do not have access to that, so most probably you would have to resort to paper. Also, drawing programs are based off the skills needed to create geometric figures with a straightedge and compass. And lastly, what if we had no more technology anymore? Then how would we use a drawing program? Drawing programs are only reliable when electricity is located.
SO THE ANSWER IS A hope it help :)
Wait is it not at all 14.5 or 14 1/2 Because with the math I did I got 14 1/2
Answer:3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest form of
15
/40 is 3
/8
.
Steps to simplifying fractions
Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator
GCD of 15 and 40 is 5
Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD
15 ÷ 5
40 ÷ 5
Reduced fraction:
3
/8
Therefore, 15/40 simplified to lowest terms is 3/8.
