Josh had to make 2,000 cookies for his bakery. 2 pieces of wheat make 8 cookies. How much wheat does he need?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: 500 pieces of wheat

Explanation:

First: set up the proportion
Cookies:wheat = 8:2
Simplify = 4:1
We need to find how much wheat he needs for 2,000 cookies.
We need to assign a variable for wheat
Wheat = W
If Josh needs to make 2,000 cookies he would need W amount of wheat
Original proportion = 4:1
For 2,000 cookies = 2,000:W
To get from 4 to 2,000
2,000/4 = 500
So W/1 = 500
Isolate the variable:
w/1 (1) = 500/1
W = 500

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation:Follow pemdas.

Start with parentheses which is (5+2) which gives you 7.

Now next in Pemdas is Exponents. SO do 2 to power of 2 which is 4 .Then do 3 to the power of 3 which is 27.Next add 4 to 27 which is 31.so now do 7 times 2 is 14.Then take 31 and subtarct it from 14 which gives you 17.

Look at pic to see clearly how it was solved and the steps. I color code it to show the steps.
