Answer:

2,160 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Large boxes = 12

Small boxes = 18

Each large box contains 144 pencils . Each small box contains 24 pencils

Total pencil in large boxes = Total large boxes × number of pencils per box

= 12 × 144

= 1,728 pencils

Total pencil in small boxes = Total small boxes × number of pencils per box

= 18 × 24

= 432 pencils

Estimate the total number of of pencils

Total number of pencils = total pencils in large boxes + total pencil in small boxes

= 1,728 pencils + 432 pencils

= 2,160 pencils

It is better to have an underestimate than an overestimate so that you won't disappoint your buyers when they request for a quantity of supply. If it is underestimated; you can meet demand, if it is overestimated; you can't meet demand

What are the best approximations of the solutions to this system?
Scilla [17]

(-1.2,-2.0) and (1.9,2.2) are the best approximations of the solutions to this system.

Option B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here, we have a graph of two functions from which we need to find the approximate value of common solutions. Let's find this:

First look at where we have intersection points, In first quadrant & in third quadrant.

<u>At first quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point . After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=1.9 and y-axis at y=2.2. So, one point is (1.9,2.2)

<u>At Third quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point. After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=-1.2 and y-axis at y=  -2.0. So, other point is (-1.2,-2.0).

Anne's potato salad recipe requires one pound of potatoes for every four people served. How many pounds of potatoes will Anne ne
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

3.5 pounds for 14 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 pound = 4 people

Required

Determine the pounds for 14 people

Represent this with x; so, we have:

1\ pound = 4\ people

x = 14\ people

Cross Multiply

x * 4 = 1 * 14

4x = 14

Solve for x

x = 14/4

x = 3.5

<em>Hence, 3.5 pounds for 14 people</em>
