So basically... you divide the 3 to 2 and that's how you get the decimal. The decimal is... 0.666666666667
<u>Answer-</u>
2, 4, and 8 people will need 1, 2, 4 pounds of turkey respectively.
<u>Solution-</u>
Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.
Taking,
x = number of people,
y = pounds of turkey.
This condition can be represented as,
As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3
Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes
Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.
All the calculations are shown in the attached table.
Answer:
x = 2
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - y = 5..............(1)× 1
2x + y = 5...….......(2)× 1
3x - y = 5..............(3)
2x + y = 5.............(4)
Cancel y
3x + 2x = 5 + 5
5x = 10
Divide both sides by 5
x = 2
Substitute for the value of y
3x - y = 5
3(2) - y = 5
6 - y = 5
6 - 5 = y
1 = y
y = 1
-7y-4x=17y-2x=53
-4x=24y-2x=53
-2x=24y=53
24y+2x=53
You would have to solve one at a time.
y=53/24
y=2.21
x=53/2
x=26.5
Answer:
15/3 + (6.5 + 4.2) - 0.6 = 15.1
Step-by-step explanation:
You can first reduce the fraction to 5 when you multiply by 3, then calculate what's in the parenthesis. So now you have 5 + 10.7 - 0.6, then just solve from left to right. Hope this helps
