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>

If d(4)= 68. thus, joe travels 68 mi in 4 hours. then how much mi does joe travel in 45 minutes
zhuklara [117]

Given that, Joe travels 68 mi in 4 hours, the number of miles Joe will travel in 45 minutes is 12.75.

<h3>How many miles did joe travel in 45 minutes?</h3>

Given that;

  • Joe travels 68 miles in 4 hours
  • joe travel x miles in 45 minutes

First, we convert 4 hours to minutes: 4 × 60 = 240 minutes

Now,

Joe travels 68 miles in 240 minutes

Joe will travel x miles in 45 minutes

We have;

x × 240 = 68 × 45

x × 240 = 3060

x = 3060 / 240

x = 12.75 miles.

Given that, Joe travels 68 mi in 4 hours, the number of miles Joe will travel in 45 minutes is 12.75.

Which expression represents the surface area?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

2x + 1/2 sq. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area = 2(lw+wh+lh)

Given

length l = x ft

width w = 1/2 ft

height h = 1/2ft

Substitute

Surface area = 2(x(1/2)+(1/2)(1/2)+x(1/2))

Surface area = 2(x/2+1/4+x/2)

Surface area = 2(2x/2 + 1/4)

Surface area = 2(x + 1/4)

Surface area = 2x + 2/4

Surface area = 2x + 1/2 sq. ft

"An integer is negative if and only if it is less than zero."
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

  • <em>An integer is not negative if and only if it is not less than zero.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Observing each statement individually:

  • <em>An integer is negative if and only if it is not less than zero</em>

A number that is NOT less than 0 is greater than zero. Negative numbers are less than 0, so this is clearly incorrect.

  • <em>An integer is not negative if and only if it is less than zero.</em>

A number that is NOT negative is positive. Positive integers are integers greater than zero, so this is also incorrect.

  • <em>An integer is not negative if and only if it is not less than zero.</em>

A number that is NOT negative is positive. A number that is NOT less than zero is greater than zero, or positive. This statement is correct.

  • <em>An integer is less than zero if and only if it is not negative.</em>

A number that is less than zero is negative, and this statement claims that a number less is only less than zero if it is NOT negative. This is incorrect.
