How many quarter pound buyers can george make out of 3 and 1/2 pounds of ground beef?

1 answer:

8 0

Divide the total amount by the portion size.

= 3 1/2 ÷ 1/4
convert 3 1/2 to improper fraction

= (2*3+1)/2 ÷ 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 1/4

to divide a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/4

= 7/2 * 4/1
multiply numerators, then multiply denominators

= (7*4)/(2*1)
= 28/2

= 14

ANSWER: 14

Hope this helps! :)

The function f(x) = x2 + 10x – 3 written in vertex form is f(x) = (x + 5)2 – 28. What are the coordinates of the vertex?

Alexxandr [17]

Vertex form uses the following formula:

$y = a(x-h)^2 + k$

Identify the values of h and k in your function:

$(x+5)^2 - 28$
$h = -5, k = -28$

The vertex is found with the following point:

$(h,k)$
$\text{Vertex: (-5, -28)}$

The vertex will be found at (-5, -28).

Jan won 51.9% of the votes in the race for school secretary. She received 415 votes. About how many students are in the school?

slava [35]

Mental way:
415 / 51.9 * 100 = 800 students in the school.

detailed way:
x is the amount of students in the school.
51.9% * x = 415
(divide both sides by 51.9% (or 0.519))
x = 800 students
