The correct option is:   D. 2\frac{7}{8}

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

As the price of each meat package is same that is $12.99, so the <u>best deal will be when the weight of the package will be greatest</u>.

The weight are  2\frac{9}{11}, 2\frac{4}{5}, 2\frac{2}{3} and 2\frac{7}{8} pounds. For finding the fraction which has greatest value, first we will <u>convert them into improper fraction and then make their denominators same. LCM of the denominators is 1320</u>. So......

2\frac{9}{11}= \frac{31}{11}= \frac{31*120}{11*120}=\frac{3720}{1320} \\ \\ 2\frac{4}{5}= \frac{14}{5}=\frac{14*264}{5*264}=\frac{3696}{1320}\\ \\ 2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}=\frac{8*440}{3*440}=\frac{3520}{1320}\\ \\ 2\frac{7}{8}=\frac{23}{8}=\frac{23*165}{8*165}=\frac{3795}{1320}

We can see that 3795 is the greatest numerator. So, 2\frac{7}{8} has the greatest value.

Thus, the best deal will be 2\frac{7}{8} pounds.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

84°

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle has five central angles that together equal to 360°.

55° + 37° + 96° + 88° = 276°

Hence, to find the fifth central angle, we have to subtract 276° from 360°.

360° - 276° = 84°

The degree measure of the last central angle is 84°.

Hope this helps! :)
