Answer:

35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a proportion.

Let's name the weight of the wheat flour "x."

3/5=21/x

Cross multiply to solve.

3*x=5*21

3x=105

x=35

The weight of the wheat flour is 35 pounds.

spayn [35]
Steps
Step 1: For each (x,y) point calculate x2 and xy.
Step 2: Sum all x, y, x2 and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx2 and Σxy (Σ means "sum up")
Step 3: Calculate Slope m:
m = N Σ(xy) − Σx Σy N Σ(x2) − (Σx)2
Step 4: Calculate Intercept b:
b = Σy − m Σx N.
Step 5: Assemble the equation of a line.

8 employees exercise at least three times a week

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

At the office where Mika works 41% of the 19 employees exercise at least three times a week

To find: Number of people who exercise at least three times a week

From given information,

Total employees = 19

Employees exercise at least three times a week = 41 % of total employees

Therefore, we have to evaluate 41 % of 19

Number of people exercise at least three times week = 41 % of 19

\rightarrow 41 \% \text{ of } 19 = 41 \% \times 19\\\\\rightarrow 41 \% \times 19 = \frac{41}{100} \times 19 = 0.41 \times 19\\\\\rightarrow 41 \% \times 19 = 0.41 \times 19 = 7.79 \approx 8

Thus approximately 8 employees exercise at least three times a week
