Answer:

x > 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality :

-2(5 – 4x) < 6x – 4

Expand the equation in bracket :

-10 + 8x < 6x - 4

Collect like terms

-10 + 4 < 6x - 8x

-6 < - 2x

Divude both sides by - 2

-6 / - 2 < - 2x / - 2

3 < x

x > 3

Find the product. (1.8 x 10^5)(3.1 x 10^2)

Stells [14]

Answer:

5.58*10^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 10^a*10^b = 10^(a+b). Thus, 10^5*10^2 = 10^7.

Thus, (1.8 x 10^5)(3.1 x 10^2) = (1.8)(3.1)*10^7 = 5.58*10^7

The food bank has 1774.4 oz of chicken.If 12.6 oz is 2 servings,how many servings of chicken does this provide?

diamong [38]

Answer:

281 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table attached,

We will apply the unitary method to solve this problem.

∵ 12.6 oz of chicken represents number of servings = 2

∴ 1 oz of chicken will represents number of servings = $\frac{2}{12.6}$

∴ 1774.4 oz of chicken will make the total servings = $\frac{2}{12.6}\times 1774.4$

= 281.65

≈ 281 servings

Therefore, total number of servings provided = 281
