(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.

three miners esch dup up 3 diamonds. the weight of the diamonds were 5,13,12,4,9,8,15,210, and 6 ounces of a piece. each of jack

Nataliya [291]

The total weight of Nico's diamond is 564 ounces

<h3>Weights</h3>

The weights of the diamond are given as:

5, 13, 12, 4, 9, 8, 15, 210, and 6 ounces

<h3>Total weights</h3>

Start by calculating the total weights

$Total = 5+13+12+4+9+8+15+210+6$

$Total = 282$

The above sum represents the total weights of Jack's diamonds.

So, the total weights of Nico's diamond is calculated as:

$Nico = 2 \times 282$

$Nico = 564$

Hence, the total weight of Nico's diamond is 564 ounces

Select the function that represents a parabola with zeros at x = –2 and x = 4, and y-intercept (0,–16). A ƒ(x) = x2 + 2x – 8 B ƒ

Ahat [919]

Answer:

D. $f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Any parabola is modelled by a second-order polynomial, whose standard form is:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Coefficients, dimensionless.

In addition, a system of three linear equations is constructed by using all known inputs:

(-2, 0)

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b + c = 0$ (Eq. 1)

(4, 0)

$16\cdot a + 4\cdot b +c = 0$ (Eq. 2)

(0,-16)

$c = -16$ (Eq. 3)

Then,

$4\cdot a - 2\cdot b = 16$ (Eq. 4)

$16\cdot a + 4\cdot b = 16$ (Eq. 5)

(Eq. 3 in Eqs. 1 - 2)

$a - 0.5\cdot b = 4$ By Eq. 4 (Eq. 4b)

$a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b$

Then,

$16\cdot (4+0.5\cdot b) + 4\cdot b = 16$ (Eq. 4b in Eq. 5)

$64 + 12\cdot b = 16$

$12\cdot b = -48$

$b = -4$

The remaining coeffcient is:

$a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b$

$a = 4 + 0.5\cdot (-4)$

$a = 2$

The function that represents a parabola with zeroes at x = -2 and x = 4 and y-intercept (0,16) is $f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16$ . Thus, the right answer is D.

Which of the following is the number 5.03 x 10-5 written in standard form?

FromTheMoon [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer=B

proving:

503,000 > 10

so we look for a number

less than 10

=5.03 ×10-5

the other three zeros are not

needed.
