A turkey costs $1.05 per pound. There are going to be fifteen people at Thanksgiving dinner. Plan for each person to eat two, 3/8 pound servings of turkey. How many pounds of turkey will you need to buy?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

I will need to buy 22.5 pounds of turkey and pay $23.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

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(3)/(4)=(3)/(2)

pounds of turkey.

There are going to be 15 people at the dinner, thus the total turkey needed is:

15\cdot(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

The archaeological site of Tara is more than 4000 years old. Tradition states that Tara was the seat of the high kings of Ireland. Because of it's archaeological importance, Tara has received extensive study (Reference: Tara: An Archaeological Survey by Conor Newman, Royal Irish Academy, Dublin). Suppose an archaeologist wants to estimate the density of ferromagnetic artifacts in the Tara region. For this purpose, a random sample of 55 plots, each of size 100 square meters, is used. The number of ferromagnetic artifacts for each plot is determined.

Answers

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.

answer:

a) The number of ferromagnetic artifacts per 100 square meters ( option A )

b) quantitative  ( option D )

c) Entire Tara region ( option A )

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Determine The Variable

The number of ferromagnetic artifacts per 100 square meters

b) The Variable is quantitative

This is because the variable used in the study has numerical value attached to it hence we can say it is a quantitative variable.

c) The implied population

Entire Tara region

Answer: growth, rate is 95.8%
The base 1.958 is in the form 1+r where
1+r = 1.958
r = 1.958-1
r = 0.958
r = 95.8%
The value of r is positive indicating we have growth.
Contrast this to something like 1+r = 0.8 and that solves to r = -0.20 = -20% to indicate decay of 20%. In other words, if the base were some positive number less than 1, then you have decay. Otherwise, you have growth.
The initial value 880 does not affect the answer, so we completely ignore it.
