The first column is the ratio you start with. The next column in the table should be the reduced fraction. To properly reduce a fraction, you divide the same number on the top and bottom of the fraction. Melody instead subtracted 1 in the top and bottom of the fraction to reduce it. She should have divided the top and bottom by 2 to get the second column of 1 pound of turkey and 3 people served.
The final column is designed to be the answer to the initial question of how many people are fed by 15 pounds of ground turkey. Starting with column 2 (the reduced ratio of 1/3), multiply the top by 15 to get 15 pounds of ground turkey. Then do the same to the bottom of the fraction. 3 x 15 = 45 people fed.
So the table should have been
Pounds of turkey 2 1 15
People served 1 3 45
Melody's overriding error was in believing that adding or subtracting numbers to both the top and bottom of a ratio/fraction keep its value the same. Instead, only multiplying or dividing the top and bottom by the same number creates an equivalent fraction.
320/340 can also be written as 16/17.
Divide/cancel both with 20.
So a complementary angle is going to equal 90 degrees.
The equation is : x - 10 + 4x - 10 = 90
Then, add together the matching terms : 5x - 20 = 90
Add 20 to both sides : 5x = 110
Then divide both sides by 5 : x = 22
Insert the value 22 into the first equation : (22 - 10) + (4*22 - 10) = 90
Solve : 12 + 78 = 90
Angle UVW = 12 and angle XYZ = 78
Answer: 3 x 5^2 x 7
525 / 3
= 175
175 / 5
= 35
35 / 5
= 7
7 / 7
= 1
Therefore,
3 x 5^2 x 7
The distribution lies within one of the standard of deviation of the mean so <span>68% </span>
The distribution lies within two of the standard of deviations of the mean so 95%
The distribution lies within three of the standard of deviations of the mean so 99.7%
