Answer:

For 45 guests, Nathan should order:

21.6 (or 22) pieces of Fried Chicken

3.3 pounds of Deli Meat

9.675 pounds of Lasagna

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given for each food item is based on 25 people.  If Nathan is going to have 45 guests and plans to only count them as 'half a guest', then we can first take the total number of guests and divide by 2:  45 ÷ 2 = 22.5.  Since the original amounts are based on 25 people, we need to find the percentage of food needed for only 22.5 people:  22.5 ÷ 25 = 0.9 x 100 = 90%.  Since Nathan will only need 90% of the food totals given, we can find how much he should order by multiplying each food amount by 90% or 0.9:

24 x 0.9 = 21.6 or 22 pieces of Fried Chicken assuming you can't buy partial pieces of chicken

3 2/3 or 11/3 x 0.9 = 3.3 pounds of Deli Meats

10 3/4 or 10.75 x 0.9 = 9.675 pounds of Lasagna

write a system of equations for the problem, and then solve the system. if a plane can travel 340 miles per hour with the wind o
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The speed of plane = 40 m/s

The speed of the wind = 300 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane = Y

And the speed of the wind = X

If the plane then travel 340 miles per hour with the wind, that means the plane and the wind are moving in the same direction. Therefore,

X + Y = 340 ..... ( 1 )

Also, 260 miles per hour against the wind. That is, the plane is moving opposite to the direction of the wind. Therefore,

X - Y = 260 ..... ( 2 )

Solve the two equations simultaneously by addition. That will eliminate Y

X + Y = 340

X - Y = 260

2X = 600

X = 600/2

X = 300 m/s

Substitutes X in equation (1)

300 + Y = 340

Make Y the subject of formula by collecting the like terms

Y = 340 - 300

Y = 40 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the plane is 40 m/s. While the speed of the wind is 300 m/s.

To determine if an ordered pair is a solution to a system of linear equations in two variables, __________.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

When an ordered pair is a solution to a system of equations in two variables, it must mean that when you plug in the ordered pair into both equations, it must come out true (this is literally the definition of a solution to a system of equation). Technically, A is also facts, but B is a "more inclusive" facts so that's your answer. Hope this helps! :)
