Answer:

<em>I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

Each person is planned to eat 2 x 3/8 pound servings of turkey for thanksgiving dinner. This means each person will eat

2\cdot\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{2}

pounds of turkey.

There are going to be 15 people at the dinner, thus the total turkey needed is:

15\cdot\frac{3}{2}=22.5~pounds

The turkey costs $1.05 per pound, thus the total cost is

22.5*$1.05 = $23.63

I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63

The mean age of 9 women in an office is 27 years old. The mean age of 7 men in an office is 25 years old. What is the mean age (
marta [7]

Answer:

26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The mean age of 9 women = 27 years old

The mean age of 7 men = 25 years old

Question asked:

What is the mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office?

solution:

By using, mean = sum of observations divided by number of entities

The mean age of 9 women = 27 years old

\frac{sum of ages}{number of women} = 27

Sum  of ages of women = 27 \times9 = 243\\ years

The mean age of 7 men = 25 years old

\frac{sum of ages}{number of men} = 25

sum of ages of men = 25 \times7 = 175

Total sum of ages of men and women in the office = 243 + 175

                                                                                     = 418 years

Total number of people in the office = 9 women + 7 men = 16

The mean age of all the people in the office = Total sum of ages of men and women in the office divided by Total number of people in the office

                                                                         = \frac{418}{16}  = 26.125

Therefore,  the mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office = 26 years

lisabon 2012 [21]
Let the length of one of the diagonals be 2x and the other be 2y, then
cos (76/2) = x/10
x = 10 cos 38 = 7.88 cm

sin (76/2) = y/10
y = 10 sin 38 = 6.16 cm
