You didn't provide more information regarding triangle but from given options, it seems that triangle has ratio from shortest side to longest side would be 5 : 12 : 13

So 13 would be hypotenuse since it is longest.

Now A cannot be right angle because tangent is not defined at 90°.

Also tan(A) would be ratio of opponent side to adjacent side (think SOH CAH TOA)

So either opposite side would be 5 or 12, and adjacent side would be 12 or 5 respectively.

So the answer is either 5 / 12 or 12 / 5 but only option provided is 12/5 so that would be your answer.

Final answer: 12 / 5

Novay_Z [31]

Each pound of potato salad serves 6 people and the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served will be $\frac{1}{6}$ pound.

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

At a party of 102 people, 17 pounds of potato salad is served.

<u>a.</u> Suppose, each pound of potato salad is served to $x$ number of people.

So, 17 pounds of salad is served to $(17*x)$ or $17x$ number of people. That means......

$17x= 102\\ \\ x= \frac{102}{17}=6$

So, each pound of potato salad is served to 6 people.

<u>b.</u> Suppose, the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served is $y$

So, the total number of pounds of salad, served to 102 people $= (y*102)$ pounds $=102y$ pounds. That means .....

$102y= 17\\ \\ y= \frac{17}{102}= \frac{1}{6}$

So, the average number of pounds of potato salad that each person is served will be $\frac{1}{6}$ pound.
