Answer:

300 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent this question in the following equation, wherein x represents the cost, per person, and y represents the total amount of people:

3x=18.45

1850/x=y

We can find exactly how much he'd be paying for 1 person by dividing $18.45, the cost for 3 people, by 3, the amount of people.

18.45/3=6.15

Now we know that barbecue lunch costs $6.15 per person. We can plug our x, 6.15, into the second equation.

1850/6.15=300.81300813

Well, we can't exactly have a fraction (.81300813) of a person, so we'll have to make a small correction. We'll round down to the nearest whole number.

y=300

With that, we can conclude that Mr. Gaines can feed 300 people, whose meals cost $6.15 each, and by the end he'll still have $5 to spare!

xeze [42]

The high-tech sector employees were less likely to lose their jobs option fourth is correct.

It is given that the estimated employment change by sector 2004–2020 a bar graph titled estimated employment change by sector from 2004 to 2020 has the year on the x-axis and the percentage of change in employment on the y-axis.

It is required to find the correct statement.

<h3>What is a bar chart?</h3>

It is defined as the visual way to show the data a systematically with rectangle box on the x-axis and y-axis. The height and vertical lines show the proportional data.

From the given data many businesses stagnated and had to fire employees, but these were primarily people who could be quickly replaced by someone willing to work for a lower wage.

Employees in the high-tech sector are frequently too valuable to the company to be laid off, therefore their job security was strong because no one could replace them.

Thus, the high-tech sector employees were less likely to lose their jobs option fourth is correct.

The surface area of the triangular prism pictured below is 204 square centimeters. What is the height of the prism?
Fudgin [204]
The picture in the attached figure

we know that
surface area=2*area of the base+perimeter*height

area of the base=area of the triangle
area of the base=3*4/2----> 6 cm²

perimeter of the base=perimeter of triangle
perimeter=3+4+5----> 12 cm
height=x cm

surface area=2*6+12*x
surface area=204 cm²
12+12*x=204
12*x=204-12
12*x=192
x=192/12
x=16 cm

the answer is
16 cm

What is the equation of the circle with center (0, 0) that passes through the point (–4, –6)?
Vadim26 [7]

If the center is in point P(a,b) and has a radius r then circle equation is:

(x-a)²+(y-b)²=r².

In your task we've got P(0,0) so the circle equation is x²+y²=r².

We have to find r. Radius start at (0,0) and end at (-4,-6) therefore

r=√((-4)²+(-6)²) and

r²=(-4)²+(-6)²=16+36=52.

So answer is x²+y²=52.
