Answer:

1,680 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can create a proportion using this setup:

grams/people=grams/people

The recipe needs 480 grams for 4 people and x (unknown-what we are trying to find) grams for 14 people.

480 grams/4 people=x grams/14

480/4=x/14

Now, we have to solve for x-the grams needed for 14 people. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 14. To undo this, multiply both sides by 14, because multiplication is the opposite of division.

14(480/4)=(x/14)14

14(480/4)=x

14*120=x

1680=x

She needs 1,680 grams of couscous for 14 people.

Norma Jean makes $25 per hour. She works 35 hours per week. She gets a commission of 15% on her total sales. How much should Nor
TEA [102]

Answer:

$24166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

$25 per hour and works 35 hours per week

Norma Jean makes 35 * 25  (<em>without sales) = </em>$875

<em> </em>Total commission made by Norma<em> </em>= 4500-875 = $3625

<em>let total number of sales by Norma be x</em>

15% is the same as 15/100

<em>so </em>(15/100) * x =3625 <em> multiplying both sides by 100</em>

15x = 362500<em> making x subject of formula</em>

x = 362500/15

x = 24 166.67

Norma should sell total items worth $24166.67

Point G is on segment FH such that it partitions segment FH into a ratio of 2:3.Point F is located at (5, 7) and point H is loca
Margarita [4]

Answer:

G = (9.4, 9,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is applied in the x-distance and the y-distance. The ratio is 2:3 so you have to divide the distances by 5 and 2/5 correspond to FG and 3/5 to GH

x-distance:

x2 - x1 = 16 - 5 = 11

11/5 = 2.2

y-distance:

y2 - y1 = 13 - 7 = 6

6/5 = 1.2

Point G = Point F + (2.2*2, 1.2*2)

Point G = (5, 7) + (4.4, 2.4)

= (9.4, 9.4)

"Nathan takes 42 minutes to thread a distance of 4.5 miles on a threadmill. Determine the average distance covered in one minute
Viefleur [7K]

Solution:

we are given that

Nathan takes 42 minutes to thread a distance of 4.5 miles on a threadmill.

we have been asked to find the average distance covered in one minute.

Using the  concept of unity we can write

Since Nathan takes 42 minutes to cover a distance of 4.5 miles.

So in 1 minute Nathan will cover a distance of =\frac{4.5}{42} =1.07142miles

Hence avearge distance covered in one minute is 1.1 miles.
