Answer:
Amount on 11% note = $106,666.67
Amount on 8% note = $43,333.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount for the short-term note at 11% interest be x.
Thus, the amount for the short-term note at 8% interest will be (150000 - x)
Now we are told that the total interest paid is $15,200.
Thus;
0.11x + 0.08(150000 - x) = 15200
0.11x + 12000 - 0.08x = 15200
Rearranging gives;
0.03x = 15200 - 12000
0.03x = 3200
x = 3200/0.03
x = $106666.67
Thus, amount for 8% note = $150000 - $106666.67 = $43,333.33
If I understand you, a person eats about 14 pounds of turkey a year. So we will divide all that turkey (1120 pounds) by 14 to find out how many years.
1,120 ÷ 14 = 80 So it will take 80 years. (Since babies can't eat that much turkey a year it will actually take more than 80 years - or the person can eat more than 14 pounds in some years to make up for their early years when they ate less) I know it's a math question, but I also like to be realistic about it. Who measures the amount of turkey they eat yearly anyway? :-)

Answer:
14.7 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the given equivalence figures to write a proportion. Solve the proportion for the unknown value.
__
quarts/liters = x/14 = 1/0.95 . . . . . the conversion is given as 1 qt = 0.95 L
Multiply by 14 to find x.
x = 14(1/0.95) ≈ 14.7
There are about 14.7 quarts in 14 liters.

<em>Additional comment</em>
You are given a value in liters (14 liters) and asked for the equivalent in quarts. That means you want to change the units from liters to quarts. To do that, you can multiply the given value (14 liters) by a conversion factor that has quarts in the numerator and liters in the denominator. That is what the fraction 1/0.95 is in the above. You will note that units of liters cancel in this equation.

This rule, "use a conversion factor that divides by the units you don't want and multiplies by the units you do want" applies to any units conversion problem. The conversion factor you use should <em>always</em> have <em>equal quantities</em> in the numerator and denominator. (Here, the equal quantities are 1 quart and 0.95 liters.)
You will notice that we treat units just like any variable. They can be multiplied, divided, cancelled, raised to a power. Only terms with like units can be added or subtracted.
