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

(3,1) and (w,9); slope = -8/3<br> W= ?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

w=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We know a point (3,1) and the slope (-8/3), so we can use point-slope form, which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

For reference, y1 is the y in the point, m is the slope, and x1 is the x in the point

So we subsitute it

y-1=-8/3(x-3)

do distributive prop.

y-1=-8/3x+8

add 1 to both sides

y=-8/3x+9

This is the equation of the line.

Now to find w, which is the x value.

The point will pass through line, so we can susbtitute the point into the equation.

9=-8/3x+9

subtract 9 from both sides

0=-8/3x

multiply by -3/8 on both sides (the reciprocal of -8/3), we need to isolate x

0=x

x=w

therefore, w=0

Hope this helps!
