At a butcher shop, Hilda bought 6 9/20 lb of beef and some pork. She left with 17 17/25 lb of meat. Express the number of pounds of pork she bought using a decimal.

56.15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert    lbs to a decimal. Multiply the main number (6) by the denominator (20) and then add that number to the numerator (9). The number you will get will be (6 x 20)+9 = 129. 129 is now the new numerator as an improper fraction so the improper fraction is now .

Now make lbs an improper fraction. It would be .

Now subtract the amount of pork from the total amount of meat. - . Find a common denominator. I'm going to use 500, although there might be something less.

is the result. Now you can either start dividing or simplify the fraction, which hopefully you already know how to do. 5615 ÷ 100 = 56.15

Really hope this helped, I tried explaining well! Ask more questions if you need!

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
