Answer:

Each person would receive maximum 0.8 pounds of potato.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Amount of Potato = 16 pounds.

Number of people attend reunion = 20

We need to find the largest amount of potato each person would receive.

Solution:

largest amount of potato each person would receive can be calculated by dividing Total Amount of Potato with Number of people attend the reunion.

framing in equation form we get;

largest amount of potato each person would receive = \frac{16}{20} =0.8\ pounds

Hence Each person would receive maximum 0.8 pounds of potato.

Anna [14]

Answer: 7.58 years

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

1) Ordered pairs are (9,5), (11,8) , (13,11), (15,14)

2) Ordered pairs are (20,20) ,(16,17), (12,14), (8,11)

3) Ordered pairs are     (1,40),(3,22), (7,13), (15,7.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Rule 1: Add 2 starting from 9

Rule 2: Add 3 starting from 5

Sequence 1 is generated using Rule 1 so, it starts with 9 and we add 2 to get the next number.

Sequence 2 is generated using Rule 2 so, it starts with 5 and we add 3 to get the next number.

Sequence 1       Sequence 2       Ordered Pair

9                           5                           (9,5)

11                          8                           (11,8)

13                          11                           (13,11)

15                          14                           (15,14)

2) Rule 1: Subtract 4 starting from 20

Rule 2: Subtract 3 starting from 20

Sequence 1 is generated using Rule 1 so, it starts with 20 and we subtract 4 to get the next number.

Sequence 2 is generated using Rule 2 so, it starts with 20 and we subtract 3 to get the next number.

Sequence 1       Sequence 2       Ordered Pair

20                         20                        (20,20)

16                          17                         (16,17)

12                          14                         (12,14)

8                            11                         (8,11)

3) Rule 1: Multiply by 2 then add 1 starting from 1

Rule 2: Divide by 2 then add 4 starting from 40

Sequence 1 is generated using Rule 1 so, it starts with 1 and then we multiply by 2 and then add 2 to get the next number.

Sequence 2 is generated using Rule 2 so, it starts with 40 and then we multiply by 2 and add 2 to get the next number.

Sequence 1       Sequence 2       Ordered Pair

1                           40                            (1,40)

3                           22                          (3,22)

7                           13                            (7,13)

15                          7.5                           (15,7.5)

i have 17 coins. N of them are nickels and the rest are dimes. write an expression in two different ways for the amount of money
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

0.05N - 0.1N + 1.7 (in dollars

1.7 - 0.05N (in dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total number of coins = 17

Number of nickels = N

Number of dimes = 17 - N

1 nickel = 5 cent = $0.05

1 dime = 10 cent = $0.1

The amount of money :

(Value of nickel * number of nickels) + (value of dime * number of dime)

(0.05 * N) + (0.1 * (17-N))

0.05N + 1.7 - 0.1N

0.05N - 0.1N + 1.7

-0.05N + 1.7 = 1.7 - 0.05N
