Answer:

<h2>43</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Initially, the ham weighed 15 \frac{1}{8}lb, which is equivalent to\frac{121}{8}lb.
  • After cooking and without bone, the ham weighed 1\frac{3}{5} lb less, which is equivalent to \frac{8}{5} lb.

To know the total amount of ham we have to serve, we need to subtract

\frac{121}{8}- \frac{8}{5}=\frac{605-64}{40}=\frac{541}{40}

So, there is 541/40 pounds to serve.

If each serving has 5/16 pounds of the ham, then we need to divide this with the total pounds available, and that would give the total number of servings

\frac{541}{40} \div  \frac{5}{16}=\frac{541}{40} \times \frac{16}{5}=   \frac{8656}{200} \approx 43.28

So, there are 43.28 possible serving. However, we need to round this to the integer because we cannot serve a uncomplete plate.

Therefore, she can provide 43 complete servings with 5/16 pounds of ham.

Do 15 1/8-1 3/5 so that is 13 21/40, then 13 21/40 divided by 5/16, so the answer is  48, because it is COMPLETE servings

Which point lies on the line with point-slope equation y-2=5(x-6)
Leviafan [203]

The numbers inside the brackets determine which point lies on the line.

The general formula is

y - h = m(x - k)

The point that lies on the line however is (h,k) both turn to the opposite sign.

So in your case the point is (6,2). I have made a graph to show you that this is true. No other point is possible.
