First how much turkey- 21 lbs or pounds.

21 subtract the amount of pounds discarded.-16 lbs or pounds remain.

     16 divided 0.8= 

Make the 0.8 a whole number.- 8

8 divided by 16= 2

Each person will get 2 pounds of turkey.

And how many people anyways?!

Answer:

The answer is 18 people who served turkey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the amount of persons who eat the turkey, we need to know the final pounds of turkey meat.

The 21 pound turkey consider 15 pound bones, so we have to subtract the bones:

21-5=16

The result is 18 pound turkey meat. Then we need to know how much the people eat each one. They eat 0.8 pounds each one.

Then we divide the remaining turkey with the before value (0.8) to know the amount of persons:

\frac{16}{0.8} \\20.00

Finally, we round the value to a real value of persons.

There were 20 people who served turkey.

2 divided by negative 1/5
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: 10

you have to find a common denominator between two and five which is 10. therefore making the number 2 into the fraction 20/10 and finding the common denominator of 1/5 makes it now 2/10. now divide 20 by 2 which gets you 10. and dividing 10 by 10 gets you. therefore making the new fraction 10/1 which is equal to 10. :)

The telephone company offers two billing plans for local calls. Plan 1 charges $36 per month for unlimited calls and Plan 2 char
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

After 460 calls plan 1 is more economical than plan 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Plan 1: 36x + 0y

Plan 2: 13x + 0.05y

36x < 13x + 0.05y

36x - 13x < 0.05y

23x < 0.05y

23/0.05x < y

460x < y

TeeVee Electronics, Inc., makes console and wide-
Tom [10]

Answer:

First we need to put all the given information in a table, that way we'll express it better into inequalities.

                                     Cost      Production Max.

Console screen (x)      $600              450

Wide-screen (y)           $900              200

                                 $360,000

We have:

600x+900y \leq 360,000

Because they can't spend more than $360,000 in production.

x\leq 450\\y\leq 200

Because the number of television is restricted.

The profit function is

P(x,y)=125x+200y (this is the function we need to maximize).

First, we need to draw each inequality. The image attached shows the region of solution, which has vertices (0,200), (300,200), (450, 100) and (450,0).

Now, we test each point in the profit function to see which one gives the highest profit.

For (300,200):

P(300,200)=125(300)+200(200)=37,500+40,000=77,500

300 console screen and 200 wide screen give a profit of $77,500.

For (450,100):

P(450,100)=125(450)+200(100)=56,250+20,000=76,250

450 console screen and 100 wide screen give a profit of $76,250.

<h3>Therefore, to reach the maximum profits, TeeVee Electronic, Inc., must produce 300 console screen televisions and 200 wide-screen televisions to profit $77,500,</h3>
