Answer:
<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows
* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M
* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)
I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.
Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
Answer:
<u>The number is 67</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
Let's consider the number 83. The tens digit is 8 and the unit digit is 3. Note the tens digit's addition to the number is 80, and the unit's addition is 3. This means the tens digit adds 10 times its value, that is, 83 = 8*10 + 3.
Now, let's consider the number ab, where a is the tens digit, and b is the unit digit. It follows that
Number=10*a+b
The question gives us two conditions:
1) The sum of a two-digits number is 13.
2) The tens digit is 8 less than twice the units digit.
The first condition can be expressed as:
a + b = 13 [1]
And the second condition can be written as:
a = 2b-8 [2]
Replacing [2] into [1], we have:
2b-8 + b = 13
Operating:
3b = 13 + 8
3b = 21
Solving for b:
b = 21 / 3 = 7
Substituting into [2]:
a = 2*(7) - 8 = 6
Thus, the number is 67
2 7/8 + 2 3/8= 4 10/8, which equals 5 2/8, which is also equal to 5 1/4
Answer:No solution
Explanation: There is no solution because x was eliminated in the last step of solving for x. Since we were left with x not being available to equal three, it shows it’s a no solution problem. Hope this helped!
