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

Wilma works at a bird sanctuary and stores birdseed in plastic containers. She has 2 small containers that hold 8 pounds of bird
Amanda [17]

Answer:

 60 lbs left over

Step-by-step explanation:  Since the small containers hold 8 lbs each you multiply 8 by 2 since there are 2 containers. Same for the large, multiply 9 by 12 because each container holds 12 lbs and there is 9 containers. Then, you subtract 4 from that total because she already used 4 lbs.

x=(2*8)+(9*12)-4 Multiply

x=16+108-4 Simplify

x=120

So, before she fills the bird feeders she has 120 lbs of bird seed. There are 30 bird feeders and since they hold 2 lbs each you multiply 30 and 2. Then you subtract that from the 120 lbs because she is filling the bird feeders with that seed.

120- (30*2)

120-60= 60 lbs left over

Caitlin makes candles and sells them in her online shop. Tall candles cost $8 each and short candles cost $5 each. last month, s
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52

Answer:

The new volume is 14,850cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of a rectangular prism = 550cm

Required

Value of volume when the dimensions are tripled.

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated using the following formula.

V = lbh

<em>When Volume = 550, the formula is written as follows</em>

550 = lbh

<em>Rearrange</em>

lbh = 550

However, when each dimension is tripled.

This means that,

new length = 3 * old length

new breadth = 3 * old breadth

new height = 3 * old height

<em>Let L, B and H represent the new length, new breadth and new height respectively</em>

In other words,

L = 3l

B = 3b

H = 3h

Calculating new volume

New volume = LBH

Substitute, 3l for L, 3b for B and 3h for H;

V = 3l * 3b * 3h

V = 3 * l * 3 * b * 3 * h

V = 3 * 3 * 3 * l*b*h

V = 27 * lbh

Recall that lbh = 550

So,

V = 27 * 550

V = 14,850

Hence, the new volume is 14,850cm³
