Answer:

4 $\frac{3}{8}$ pounds of chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the 7 a fraction we put a one under it. Then we multiple the tops of the two fractions together and the bottom two numbers of the fraction together:

$\frac{7}{1} X \frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{35}{8}$

Finally, we simplify the improper fraction into a mixed number:

4 $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer:

chicken needed = 4 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

There will be 7 people at a party and each person will eat 5/8 of a pound of chicken.

To find chicken needed

one person needed = 5/8

total people = 7

Therefore total chicken needed = 7*5/8 = 35/8 = 4 3/8

therefore the correct answer is 4 3/6

Evaluate the limit assuming that limx→−5f(x)=17limx→−5f(x)=17 and limx→−5g(x)=22limx→−5g(x)=22. (use symbolic notation and fract

Gemiola [76]

In this question it is given that

$\lim_{x->-5}f(x)=17, \lim_{x->-5}g(x)=22$

And we have to find the value of the given limit

$\lim_{x->-5}(23f(x)+3g(x))$

Using properties of limit, first we separate the two functions, that is

$23\lim_{x->-5}f(x)+3\lim_{x->-5}g(x)$

Substituting the values of the given limit,

$23(17)+3(22)=457$
