Acaterer prepared a turkey that weighed 27 1/2 pounds. each serving of turkey will be 1/3 pound. how many whole servings will be provided?

Answer

Find out the  how many whole servings will be provided .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of servings be x.

As given

A caterer prepared a turkey that weighed pounds.

i.e A caterer prepared a turkey that weighed pounds.

Each serving of turkey will be pound.

Than the equation becomes in the form

x =82.5

Therefore the number of servings will be provided be 82.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   (7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

discussion:

in general, the factorization of a^3 + b^3 is

a^3 + b^ 3 = (a + b) ( a^2 - ab + b^2)

in our case note that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 so the equation becomes:

343x^3 + 216y^3 = (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

if you think of a (above) as 7x and b as 6y the factorization becomes

343x^3 + 216y^3 =

((7x + 6y) (   (7x)^2 - 7x*6y + (6y)^2)   =

(7x + 6y) ( 49x^2 - 42xy + 36y^2)

(a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2)
