Answer:8 1/4 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
All you must do is multiply 2.75 (which is 2 3/4 in decimal form) by 3 since Wendy is baking a TRIPLE recipe. So, the work will look like this: 2.75x3=8.25 or 8 1/4 cups of flour.
To do this, you'll have to get loris and doris to the same amount of time, we can already tell loris makes 40 bracelets in 100 minutes but we are still missing 20 minutes, so we got to do some math(Ofc we do its mathematics) if you divide 50 by 20 you'll get 2.5 which is how many minutes it takes to make a bracelet. So now we can go back to that missing 20 minutes, if you divide 20 by 2.5, you'll get 8. So in 2 hours loris makes 48 bracelets(20 + 20(50 hours each)=40 + 8(the missing 20 minutes) = 48) But here is the tricky part it says per an hour, so we need to reduce both by half, so loris makes 24 bracelets an hour and doris makes 22 bracelets an hour so loris makes 2 more bracelets and hour than doris... hope i've helped!
Answer
The distance from the house to the lake is (2.5 hr)*(48 mi/hr) = 120 miles. The rerurn trip would take (120 mi)/(40 mi/hr) = 3 hours. Distance equals rate times time, so the distance to the lake is 2 1/2 hours times 48 miles per hour.
I hope this helps
