Answer:
206 Cornish hens
169 turkeys
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of Cornish hens sold. Then c-37 is the number of turkeys sold. The total sales would be ...
... c + (c-37) = 375
... 2c = 412 . . . . collect terms, add 37
... c = 206 . . . . Cornish hens sold
... (c-37) = 169 . . . turkeys sold

<em>Comment on this type of problem</em>
Note that the solution to this problem is that the larger number (number of cornish hens) is half the sum of the total and the difference: (375+37)/2 = 206. This is the general solution for this type of "sum and difference" problem.
The larger contributor is half the total plus half the difference; the smaller contributor is half the total minus half the difference.
Cornish hens = (1/2)(375 +37) = 206
Turkeys = (1/2)(375 -37) = 169

Answer: 14.48000 . . . ≤ t < 15.0000
Step-by-step explanation:
"Truncated by a hundreths of a second" means that the time was rounded to the nearest 0.0X second. That would mean the reported time of 14.48 seconds was shortened from a time period having more digits to the right. For example, If the time were actually 14.48223 seconds, the time was truncated to just 14.48 seconds. The term used here. truncated, means that the digits after the hunredth place are simply dropped. It doesn't say rounded, just truncated. Brutal. So that would mean that times between 14.48000 . . . and 14.48999 . . . would all be reported as 14.48 seconds.
So the time could actually be 14.48000 . . . ≤ t < 15.0000
Answer: The family's weekly income is $1500
-------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
x = weekly income (in dollars)
16% of x = amount spent on food per week
16% of x = 240
(16/100)*x = 240
0.16*x = 240
0.16*x/0.16 = 240/0.16
x = 1500
