Answer:

The nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131. 50 is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, it can be said that the total cost of a dinner would be equal to the initial fee plus the result of multiplying the price per person for the number of people, which can be expressed as:

c=16+8.25x, where:

c is the total cost of he dinner

x is the number of people

Now, you can replace c with 131.50 that is the cost of a dinner and solve for x to find the number of people that can attend:

131.50=16+8.25x

131.50-16=8.25x

115.50=8.25x

x=115.50/8.25

x=14

According to this, the answer is that the nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131.50 is 14.

The figure below is a right rectangular prism. which expression represents the volume of the prism?
Leviafan [203]

Answer: The expression (equation/formula) for the volume of a:  

     " right rectangular prism " ;   is represented by:

____________________________________________________

                    →   " V  =  L * w * h  "   ;

____________________________________________________

in which:   all the dimensions are in the same "units of measurement" (or converted to the same "units of measurement" ;  

and in which:

      " V " is the "volume" of the right rectangular prism; in the "cubic units" ; or written as:  "units³ "  ;  or, [insert the particular units used}^ ³  "   ;

  →  that is, [units] raised to the "3rd [third] power" ; assuming these units are the same  same "fundamental units of measurement"  as the "other 2 (two) values in the expression".  

    If we are given no specific units of measurement whatsoever, then we use the generic term, "units" as the "units of measurement" ; and we express the "volume; "V" ;  of a "right rectangular prism" as:  " units ³ " ; or "cubic units" ;

        in our answer— if we are asked to solve for the:

                     "volume; "V";  of a "right rectangular prism" ;

_________________________________________________

and in which:  

            "L" represents the "length" of a "right rectangular prism" ;

            "w" represents the "width" of a "right rectangular prism" ;

            "h" represents the "height" of a "right rectangular prism" .

_________________________________________________

To given an example:

  Say we have a "right rectangular prism" ; with the given measurements:

    width , "w" :   w = 2 units;  

    length, "L"  :    L  = 3 units ;

    height, "h" :    h =  8 units.

_________________________________________________

We are asked to "find the volume " ;  of this "right recentangular prism" .

The formula for the volume;  "V" ;  of this "right rectangular prism" ;

is:

_________________________________________________

          →    Volume  =  Length * width * height ;

that is:

          →    V =  L  * w * h  ;  

Solve for the volume;  "V" .

_________________________________________________

          →   V  =  L  * w * h   ;    Now plug in the values given:

          →   V =  (3 units)  * (2 units)  * (8 units) ;

                   

                    =  3 * 2 * 8 * (units) * (units) * (units) ;

                    =  3 * 2 * 8 * units ³  ;

                    =  48 units ³ .    

_________________________________________________                    

Hope this answer— and explanation—is helpful to you!

     Wishing you the best in your academic pursuits

               — and within the "Brainly" community!

Pleaseeeeeee helpppppppp​
mixer [17]

Answer:

B) Multiplying by 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer is correct because lets say we have a nonzero number, (IN this case lets say 4) 4+0 is 4, and that does not change the value because it is still 4, so A is not correct. Multiplying by 1 and dividing by one leads to the same conclusion. They both wind up to 4. The only one is B) because 4x0 is 0 and that isn't 4, so it changes value.

Hope this helped :)
