(You forgot to add the question, but I guess you want to know the mass of the turkey for 14 people :p )
By hypothesis, 1 lb = 450g. Adam wants that each of the 14 person, get 3/4 lb. Let x be the mass of 3/4 lb in grams, using the rule of three:

1 lb --> 450g
3/4 lb --> x

x = 3/4 * 450 = 337.5
So 3/4 lb = 337.5 g

Adam wants to cook for 14 people and wants to allow 3/4 lb of turkey for each person, so 337.5 for each.
So to know the total mass of the turkey, you multiply the mass for one person by the total number of people:
337.5 * 14 = 4725
So the mass of the turkey for 14 people is 4725g, or 10.5 lb (3/4 * 14)

Hope this Helps! :)

3/4 = .75

.75 x 14 = 10.5 = 10 1/2

convert to grams = 10.5 * 450 = 4,725 grams

so he needs to cook a 10 1/2 lbs or 4,725 grams turkey for 14 people to allow 3/4 lbs each person.

Each equation represents a linear relationship. Examine each and determine the slope and y- intercept

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Slope is -3/7. Y intercept is 250/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they asking for the slope and y intercept, let put it in slope intercept form.

$y = mx + b$

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

The equation given is in standard form so we will convert it to slope intercept.

$3x + 7y = 250$

$7y = 250 - 3x$

$y = \frac{250}{7} - \frac{3}{7} x$

$y = - \frac{3}{7} x + \frac{250}{7}$

The slope is -3/7

The y intercept is 250/7

The temperature of a weather station was 12.8 °F at midnight and fell 1.4 °F each hour for six hours. Which of the following sol

Len [333]

Answer:

Let's try to find a linear relation like:

T(h) = a*h + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

h is the number of hours after midnight.

T is the temperature at the time defined by h.

We know that at midnight, the temperature is 12.8°F.

At midnight, we have h = 0, then:

T(0) = a*0 + b = 12.8°F

b = 12.8°F

Now we know that our function is:

T(h) = a*h + 12.8°F

We also know that the temperature fell 1.4 °F each hour for six hours.

Then the slope will be -1.4°F

We can write the linear relationship as:

T(h) = -1.4°F*h + 12.8°F (for 0 ≤ h ≤ 6)

Where we have a restriction in the possible values of h, because we know that this model only works for six hours after midnight,

Which line has an equation of y=-5x+4 in slope-intercept form?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Last choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the option that is equivalent to this equation, we can begin by narrowing down our options. The slope contains a negative number, meaning the second point must have a lower y value than the first.

Using this criteria, we can eliminate the first and the third answer. Now, we can test the second and fourth answer.

We can test using the slope formula and plugging in values. When the slope formula: $m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

We get a slope of -5 for both of these equations. Let's plug in the point values to check whether they work:

Choice 2:

-24 = -5(4) + 4

-24 = -20 + 4

-24 ≠ -16

Choice 4:

-16 = -5(4) + 4

-16 = -20 + 4

-16 = -16

Therefore, choice 4 is correct!
