I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30. It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.

These problem can be solved using conversion fractions. A conversion fraction is a unitary fraction that we use to convert units; the idea is multiply the unit we want to convert by a fraction with the same unit as denominator and the target unit as numerator.

First, we are going to find how many grams are \frac{3}{4} lb. Since we know that 1lb = 450g, we just need to multiply \frac{3}{4}lb by the conversion fraction \frac{450g}{1lb}:

Grams per person = (\frac{3}{4}lb)(\frac{450g}{1lb}  )=(0.75lb)(\frac{450g}{1lb}  )=337.5g

Next, we are going to find the total amount of grams Adam will need. Since there are 14 persons, we just need to multiply the grams per person by 14:

Total grams = 14(337.5g)=4725g

Since the cost of the turkey is expressed in kilograms, we need to convert the total grams to kilograms. We know that 1 kg = 1000 g, so we need to multiply the total grams by the conversion factor \frac{1kg}{1000g}:

Total kg = (4725g)(\frac{1kg}{1000g} )=4.725kg

Now we know know that Adam will need to buy 4.725 kg of medium size turkey, so the only thing left is multiply the price of the medium size turkey by the total kg:

Total cost = (4.725kg)(\frac{5.99}{kg} )=28.30

We can conclude that a turkey for 14 people will cost £28.30.

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 14 + 4x - 8 + 2x + 18 = 180  {Angle sum property of tiangle}

6x + 4x + 2x + 14 - 8 +18 = 180 {Combine like terms}

                         12x + 24 = 180 {Subtract 18 from both sides}

                                  12x = 180 - 24

                                  12x = 156       {Divide both sides by 12}

                                     x = 156/12

x = 13

The graphs below have the same shape the equation of the red graph is f(x) =x^2. What is the equation of the blue graph?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

G(x)=(x-6)^2

which agrees with the answer D of your options

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the graph of G(x) has the initial graph shifted horizontally to the right in 6 units, therefore such horizontal shift is accomplished by subtracting the 6 units from the x-variable in the original expression:

G(x)=(x-6)^2

What is the slope and y-intercept of this<br> equation? y = 5x
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Slope- 5  y-int- (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-int. m=5, and we don't see a b, so it must be 0.

Vivenne, John and nassim ran for 6th grade class president. Vivenne got four votes for every 3 votes that John got. Nassim got t
liq [111]

Answer:

John received 10% of the overall votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of votes John got  = m

So, the number of votes Vivienne received =   3 times (John's share )

 = 3  times m   =  3 m

Also, The number of Votes Nassim received = 2 times ( Vivienne's share)

2 x (3 m)   = 6 m

Total Votes in the grade 6  

= Votes received by { John + Vivienne + Nassim}

= m + (3 m) + (6 m) = 10 m

Hence, the total number of students who voted in grade 6  = 10 m

\textrm{The percentage of John's Votes }  = \frac{\textrm{Number of votes John received}}{\textrm{Total number of votes }}  \times 100

= \frac{m}{10m}  \times 100 = 10

or, The percentage of John's Votes  = 10%

Hence, John received 10% of the overall votes.
