At , mrs. jones overcooked the turkey so all but 5 of it had to be thrown away. the 8 people at dinner that
night each received an equal share of the remaining turkey. to determine the amount of the turkey that each person woul
receive, mrs. jones wrote the expression below.
4
.8
which expression is equivalent to mrs jones's expression?

The question has inconsistent or incomplete data, so I'm filling the holes with key data.

Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows

* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M

* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)

I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.

Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
