Answer:

5 cakes


hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

if one cake feed 14 people and you are tying to fine out how many cakes you need to feed 60 people you would have to divide 60 by 14

1 cake = 14 people

? cakes = 60 people

60 ÷ 14 = 4.28

so in order to have enough for 60 people you need to round so you would need 5 cakes

to check you answer you can multiply 5 by 14 and you answer should be the amount of people

5 x 14 = 70

why  cant it be 4? well because if you buy 4 cakes there wont be enough for 60 people and to make sure it wont be enough you can multiply 4 x 14

4 x 14 = 56

so 4 cakes only feeds 56 people so that is why your answer is 5 cakes are needed

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough l
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$6.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make three  9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

1 cup = 16 table spoon of juice

half a cup =  8 table spoon of juice

1 pie require half a cup of lemon juice. so 1 pie requires 8 tablespoon of lemon juice

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice

2 times 4 = 8

So 4 lemon needed to make a pie

cost of 1 lemon = 0.56

cost of 4 lemons = 0.56 \cdot 4=2.24

cost of lemon for making 3 pie= 3 \cdot 2.24=6.72

Your teacher recently found an old Nintendo in a thrift store. Use the formula to predict the value of the Nintendo in 2020. (Re
9966 [12]

The value of the Nintendo after 35 years is $2455

Since the formula f(x) = 3x² - 40x + 180 predicts the value of the Nintendo x years after 1986.

Since we require the value in 2021, x years after 1986 is 2021 - 1986 = 35 years.

Substituting x = 35 into the equation, we have

f(x) = 3x² - 40x + 180

f(x) = 3(35)² - 40(35) + 180

f(x) = 3(1225) - 40(35) + 180

f(x) = 3675 - 1400 + 180

f(x) = 2275 + 180

f(x) = 2455

So, the value of the Nintendo after 35 years is $2455

Do you think this is a realistic prediction of the value of that Nintendo?

This is not a realistic prediction for the value of the Nintendo, because, it is too high.

If the point (-6, 10) lies on the graph of y=f(x) then which of the following points must lie on the graph of y=1/2f(x)?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

(-6,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=f(x) ----> the parent function

y=1/2f(x) ---> the new y-value will be 1/2 times the original value

The rule of the transformation of f(x) to 1/2f(x) is

(x,y) -----> (x,y/2)

substitute the given value

(-6,10) ------> (-6,10/2)

(-6,10) ------> (-6,5)

Drag expressions to complete each equation.
Maru [420]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of exponents

a^{b} × a^{c} = a^{b+c}

\frac{a^{b} }{a^{c} } = a^{b-c}

a^{c} × b^{c} = (ab)^{c}
