Answer:

1.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 400 grams of potatoes for 4 people. That means each person will require 400 / 4 = 100 grams.

Now, we have 12 people, so the total number of grams needed will be:

(100 g/person) * (12 people) = 1200 grams

However, we want the answer in kilograms. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram, so divide 1200 by 1000:

1200 / 1000 = 1.2 kg

The answer is 1.2 kg.

Answer:

1200g or 1.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that you need 400 grams of potatoes for 4 people to make a recipe and we want to find out how many for 12 people so

<u>Method 1</u>

First of all we would need to work out the amount needed for 1 person so,

400g = 4 people

? g     = 1 person

4 ÷ 1 = 4

400 ÷ 4 = 100

So 100g is needed for one person using that information

1 person = 100g

12 people = ? g

1 × 12 = 12

100 × 12 = 1200 g

<u>Method 2</u>

We can see that we need 400g for 4 people and we want to find out the amount for 12 people so

400g = 4 people

?g      = 12 people

12 ÷ 4 = 3

400 × 3 = 1200g

So you would 1200g or 1.2 kg of potatoes to make this recipe for 12 people

Carol's starting pay for her summer job is $10.25 per hour. Carol earns exactly 3 raises this summer.
kvv77 [185]
She starts off with $10.25 and gets a raise of $0.50, so she earns $10.75 per hour. Then she gets a raise of 10%, so then 10.75 x 0.10 = 1.075, so she earns $11.825 per hour. Then her third raise is $0.50 so she earns $12.325 per hour. The raise for next summer is 5%, so 12.325 x 0.05 = 0.61625, so she earns $12.94125.
She will earn about $12.94 per hour starting off next summer.

HEY CAN ANYONE HELP ME!
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Given: In triangle ABC and triangle DBE where DE is parallel to AC.

In ΔABC and ΔDBE

DE || AC   [Given]

As we know, a line that cuts across two or more parallel lines.  In the given figure, the line AB is a transversal.

Line segment  AB is transversal that intersects two parallel lines.  [Conclusion from statement 1.]

Corresponding angles theorem: two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the  corresponding angles are congruent.

then;

\angle BDE \cong \angle BAC  and

\angle BEC \cong \angle BCA

Reflexive property of equality states that if angles in geometric figures can be congruent to themselves.

by Reflexive property of equality:

\angle B \cong \angle B  

By AAA (Angle Angle Angle) similarity postulates states that all three pairs of corresponding angles are the same then, the triangles are similar

therefore, by AAA similarity postulates theorem

\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DBE

Similar triangles are triangles with equal corresponding angles and proportionate side.

then, we have;

\frac{BD}{BA}                  [By definition of similar triangles]

therefore, the missing statement and the reasons are

Statement                                                                   Reason

3.\angle BDE \cong \angle BAC      Corresponding angles theorem

and  \angle BEC \cong \angle BCA        

5. \triangle ABC \sim \triangle DBE   AAA similarity postulates    

6. BD over BA                                                    Definition of similar triangle

A leprechaun places a magic penny under a girls pillow. The next night there are 2 magic pennies under her pillow. The following
kiruha [24]

Answer:

<em>After </em><em>47</em><em> days she will have more than 90 trillion pennies.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning there was 1 penny. At the second day the amount of pennies under the pillow became 2.

The amount of pennies doubled each day. So the series is,

1,2,4,8,16,32,.....

This series is in geometric progression.

As the pennies from each of the previous days are not being stored away until more pennies magically appear so the sum of series will be,

S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}

where,

a = initial term = 1,

r = common ratio = 2,

As we have find the number of days that would elapse before she has a total of more than 90 trillion, so

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{1(2^n-1)}{2-1}

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{2^n-1}{1}

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le 2^n-1

\Rightarrow 2^n\ge 90\times 10^{12}+1

\Rightarrow \log 2^n\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)

\Rightarrow n\times \log 2\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)

\Rightarrow n \ge \dfrac{\log (90\times 10^{12}+1)}{\log 2}

\Rightarrow n \ge 46.4

\Rightarrow n\approx 47
