Well we know that 10 and 3/4 is equivalent to 10.75.  If we divide the meat into 8 equal packages we have to divide 10.75 by 8.  Dividing 10.75 by 8 gives us 1.34375 pounds of meat per package.  If we take that, and multiply it by our given value of $3.40 per pound, we end up getting $4.57 a package.

Answer: The price of each package will be <u>$4.57</u> or <u>4 dollars and 57 cents</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total butcher has total ground beef of mass , m=10\frac{3}{4}pounds=10.75pounds

Price of beef , P = 3.40 dollars per pound

Thus the price of 10.75 pounds of beef ,

P_t=m\times P=\$ 10.75\times 3.40=\$ 36.55

Now the whole amount of beef is divided into 8 equal packets

Therefore price of each packet is given by

P_1=\frac{P_t}{8}=\$ \frac{36.55}{8}

=>P_1=\$ 4.57

Thus the price of each package will be <u>$4.57</u> or <u>4 dollars and 57 cents</u>

Use the percent bar model to find the missing percent
Ne4ueva [31]

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The missing percent on the bar model is equal to 12.5%.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

On the percent bar model, above the missing percentage, the fraction is given as 1/8.

Now, the given fraction 1/8 in the form of percentage can be written as,

1/8

= 1/8 × 100%

= 0.125 × 100%

= 12.5%

Hence, the missing percent on the bar model is equal to 12.5%.

Which kinds of symmetry does a square have?
spin [16.1K]
Vertical symmetry because you can cut a square in half vertically and the two parts be exactly the same. Horizontal symmetry because you can cut a square in half horizontally and the two parts be exactly the same. Diagonal symmetry because you can cut the square from corner to corner and the two parts look exactly the same. Rotational symmetry because you can rotate the square and it still look exactly the same. So a square has all of those symmetries. I hope this helped!
