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

How can you use distributive property to find 3/4 times 2 and 1/3
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set it up like the distrubtive property first

3/4(2+ 1/3)    Next you use the distirbutive property instead of adding inside the parenthesis and you multiply the 3/4 by 2 and then the 3/4 by 1/3

Use 2 as 2/1 in fraction problems

3/4 * 2/1        Now multiply the numerators together and the denomenators together

3 * 2 = 6          4 * 1 =4

6/4

3/4 *1/3

3 * 1 =3

4 * 3 =12

3/12

Now we have to make them both like terms (same denominator) so we can add them, we will multiply the 6/4 by 3 (Both top and bottom)

6 * 3 = 18               4 *3 =12

18/12

Now we add the fractions

3/12 +18/12 = 21/12

Reduce that and you get

21/12 = 1 9/12  or 1 3/4

A ball is dropped from the top of a building that is 250 feet tall. The
Virty [35]

hi

-16t²+250 = 75

-16t² = 75 -250

-16t² = -175

  t² = -175 /-16

 t² = 175/16

Here there si two solutions :  t = \sqrt{175/16}   and  t =  - \sqrt{175/16}

However, as time cannot rewind,  we will  keep only positive solution

So t = \sqrt{175/16}

   

in seconds  it will be  :  3.3 seconds

Use the law of cosines to write an expression equivalent to b
andrezito [222]

Given:

A triangle ABC.

The given expression for b is:

b=\sqrt{m+n-pq}

To find:

The expression that is equivalent to b.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosines,

b^2=a^2+c^2-2ac\cos B

It can be written as:

b=\sqrt{a^2+c^2-2ac\cos B}              ...(i)

We have,

b=\sqrt{m+n-pq}                                ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=a^2

n=c^2

p=2ac

q=\cos B

Therefore, the required values are m=a^2,n=c^2,p=2ac,q=\cos B.
