A catering company orders 150 lb of fresh clams for a banquet serving 100 people, and 30 lb of clams for dinner party of 20 people. Determine the standard number of clams per serving.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

about two clams per person

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

It is 1.5 lb per serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this is just a matter of proportions.

Here is our current proportion:

150lb

---------

100 guests

Now, all we need to do is make it per one guest.

150lb     =      x lb

-----------      ---------------

100 guests = 1 guest

Now, to get from 100 to 1, I divided by 100, right?

So, because this is a ratio, and it needs to be proportional, we do the same for 150.

150/100=1.5.

It is 1.5 lb per serving.

Which values from this set {−30, −20, −10, 0, 10, 20} satisfy this inequality?

−20, −10, 0, 10, and 20 only

0, 10, and 20 only

−30, −20, and −10 only

−30 and −20 only

Answers

Answer:

0, 10, and 20 only

Step-by-step explanation:

    −15x + 3 ≤ 7

−15x + 3 - 3 ≤ 7 - 3

          −15x ≤ 4

  −15x / -15 ≥ 4 /- 15   multiplying by a negative number reverses the sign.

               x ≥ -4 / 15

probably quicker to just plug the numbers in. Any negative input will immediately create a false statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph for x < 2 is the line y = -5x +2. It has a y-intercept of 2 (point (0, 2)) and a slope (rise/run) of -5. The line ends with an open circle at (2, -8).

The graph for x ≥ 2 is the line y = 2x -2. It has a slope of 2 and ends with a solid dot at the point (2, 2). Another point on that line will be 2 units right and 4 units up, at (4, 6).

You can plot the points described here and draw rays through them to form the graph. A graph is attached.

description

The function is a piecewise linear function with a jump discontinuity at x=2. The portion left of x=2 has a slope of -5 and ends with an open circle at (2, -8). The portion right of x=2 has a slope of +2 and starts with a solid dot at (2, 2).

Its domain is all real numbers. Its range is all y-values greater than -8.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x² - 2x - 3 = 0

x² - (3x - x) - 3 = 0

x² - 3x + x - 3 = 0

x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

x = 3 & -1

Now,

a and b are integers

So

a = 3 & b = -1 or

a = -1 & b = 3

Answer:

a = 3 , b = -1          or            a = -1 , b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x - 3 = 0

x² - 3x + 1x - 3 = 0

x ( x - 3 ) +1 ( x - 3 ) = 0

( x - 3 ) ( x + 1 ) = 0

So,

x - 3 = 0                   or                x + 1 = 0

x = 0 + 3                                      x = 0 - 1

x = 3                                            x = -1

Therefore,

( x - a) ( x - b )

As a and b are integers

It can be,

a = 3 , b = -1          or            a = -1 , b = 3
