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.

Identify which triangles are congruent, and explain your answer.
Paha777 [63]
I believe that A and D would be the correct answer. Because both are 30,60,90 triangles and would be congruent. The other 2 triangles only have 1 angle and their side measures are at two different places meaning they cannot be congruent.

Your brother is 1313 your age. Your sister is 6 years older than your brother. Your sister is 10 years old. Write and solve an e
il63 [147K]

There seems to be a typo. You wrote 1313, but I'm assuming you meant to say the fraction 1/3. If this assumption is correct, then continue with the rest of the solution. If the assumption is not correct, then ignore what I wrote below and please provide clarification of what the "1313" should represent. Thank you.

----------------

B = your brother's age

S = your sister's age

Y = your age

All of these ages are current present day ages.

---------------

"your brother is 1/3 your age" so B = (1/3)Y or B = Y/3.

"Your sister is 6 years older than your brother" so S = B+6

"Your sister is 10 years old" so S = 10.

---------------

S = B+6

B+6 = S

B+6 = 10 ... plug in S = 10

B+6-6 = 10-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides

B = 4

Your brother is 4 years old.

---------------

B = Y/3

Y/3 = B

Y/3 = 4 .... plug in B = 4

3(Y/3) = 3*4 ... multiply both sides by 3

Y = 12

<h3>Answer: Your age is 12 years old.</h3>

note: This answer hinges on assumption that the "1313" should be "1/3".
