A recipe for shepherd's pie uses 3 cups potatoes, 2 cups carrots, 1 cup onions, 1 ½ cups ground round to create enough for 6 people. If you need to feel 16 people, how many cups of carrots do you need? Use scale factors and ratios to solve this problem. Remember to show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups of carrot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up proportional equation.

6 people need 2 cups of carrots

Let 16 people need x cups of carrots.

We could form ratio for number of people to cups of carrot used as

6:2

16:x

So, proportional equation would be

[tex]\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{16}[/tex]

Cross multiply

32=6 x

Divide both sides by 6.

x=[tex]\frac{32}{6}[/tex]

Divide to get mixed number

x=5[tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction

x=[tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups of carrot.

Answers

The answer is 4w+120.

Answer:

S(w)=120+4w

Step-by-step explanation:

The function has a base constant of 120 songs. Then for each week, 4 songs are added. On week 1, w=1, and thus it is 120+1(4). On week 2, w=2, and thus it is 120+2(4).

Find the area of a circle having circumference 176 cm...Pls answer this question...

Answers

Answer:

area of circle = 2464 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference = 176 cm

formula of circumference = 2πr

2πr = 176 cm

2 × 22/7 × r = 176 cm

44/7 ×r = 176 cm

r = 176 ÷ (44/7)

r = 176 × 7/44

r = 28 cm

area of circle

= πr²

= 22/7 × 28²

= 22/7 × 784

= 2464 cm²

Answers

Answer:

x=2

length y = 4

angle Z = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 2x^2 - 4

put like terms on same sides, lets subtract x^2 to both sides

0 = x^2 - 4

add 4 to both sides

4 = x^2

square root of 4 = 2

x=2

since it is a square, we know all sides are the same length (proof also shown) so y is equal to the other side x^2

y = x^2

y = 4

Angle Z is 45 degrees, because a square has all right angles that are 90 degrees, but a diagonal evenly splits angle into two 45 degree parts.

Mia buys 50 coats at $28 each she sells 38 of these coats at$49 each she sells the rest of the coats at$40 each find the overall percentage profit mia has made on these coats

Answers

Answer:

67.28 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price at which the coats are bought = $28

Number of coats bought = 50

Total money spent on buying the coats = 50 [tex]\times[/tex] 28 = $1400

Number of coats sold at $49 each = 38

Money earned by selling 38 coats at $49 each = $1862

Number of coats left = 50 - 38 = 12

Money earned by selling 12 coats at $40 each = $480

Total money earned = $1862 + $480 = $2342

To find:

The overall profit percentage made by Mia ?

Solution:

Formula for Profit percentage:

[tex]Profit\% = \dfrac{Sales\ Price - Cost\ Price}{Cost\ Price}\times 100\\\Rightarrow Profit\% = \dfrac{2342 - 1400}{1400}\times 100\\\Rightarrow Profit\%=\dfrac{942}{1400}\times 100\\\Rightarrow Profit\%=67.28\%[/tex]

Therefore, overall percentage profit made by Mia by selling the coats= 67.28 %

Ted sells cleaning supplies. He earns a monthly salary of $850.00, plus commission. He earns 5% commission on the first $10,000 in sales, and 7% commission on any sales over $10,000. If he sold $14,000 worth of supplies this month, how much will his pay be this month?

Answers

Answer:

$1830

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Ted's monthly salary =$850.00

since he made sales over $10,000. that is he sold supplies worth $14,000

his commission will be 7% of $14,000

=7/100*$14,000

=0.07*$14,000

=$980

Required

His total earnings

Step two:

Hence his total earnings is, his monthly salary  plus 7% commission of  supplies worth $14,000

=$850.00+$980.00

=$1830

Alice likes to go to Main Event to play laser tag and climb the rock wall each Saturday. Instead of purchasing the play pass, Alice pays for each activity separately.


a. This week Alice played laser tag twice and climbed the rock wall 3 times, spending $31.


b. Last week Alice played laser tag 4 times and climbed the rock wall once, spending $27.


Using the information provided, how much does Main Event charge, in dollars, to climb the rock wall?


1. $7

2. $5

3. $8

Answers

Answer:

1. $7 for climbing the rock

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of laser tags

y is the number of times climbed the rock

a. 2x + 3y = 31

b. 4x + y  =27

lets find y

Step 1

4x + y = 27

y = 27 -4x

step 2

replace y with 27 - 4x in the a.

2x + 3( 27 - 4x) = 31

2x + 81 - 12x = 31

2x -12x = 31 -81

x = 5

y = 27 - 4(5)

y = 7

slope of st is -0.25

slope of us is -0.25

slope of sv is 1 so it is a parallelogram. the slope of the parallel lines needs to be the same to be a parallelogram. to find the slope, you need to find the change from the points of the referenced line, for example, slope of st you would label each point as x1, y1 and x2,y2. it does not matter which one you label and you can change them for each different line. you would then find the difference by subtracting (y2-y1) divided by (x2-x1) so 4-3=1 and 1-5 is -4. you then divide 1/-4 is -0.25. you the follow the steps for each line. is the parallel lines have the same slope, it is a parallelogram
