15 people = 9 lbs pasta

1 people = 9/15 lbs. pasta

So, for 76 people = 9/15 * 76 = 45.6 lbs pasta

9/15 = x/76......9 lbs to 15 ppl = x lbs to 76 ppl
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(15)(x) = (9)(76)
15x = 684
x = 684/15
x = 45.6.....u should bring 45.6 lbs of pasta salad for 76 people

What is the area of this composite figure?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

249 centimeters squared

Step-by-step Explanation:

The area of the rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.

= 15.5 x 18

= 279

Area of the smaller rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.

= 4 x 7.5

= 30

We do not need this 30.

Area of the shaded region:

= 279 - 30

= 249 cm²
