Answer:
3 1/3 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
one and one half dozen = 1.5 * 12 = 18 cookies
18 cookies 90 cookies
---------------- = -------------
2/3 cup x cups
using cross products
18 * x = 2/3 * 90
18 x = 60
divide each side by 18
x = 60/18
divide top and bottom by 6
x = 10/3
change the improper fraction to a mixed number
3 goes into 10 3 times with 1 left over
x = 3 1/3 cups
Answer x=14 y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several approaches.
(5/3)x^2 - 5 = 0 has the coefficients a=5/3, b=0 and c = -5.
Thus, the quadratic formula would be appropriate here:
-0 plus or minus sqrt(0^2 - 4(5/3)(-5) )
x = -------------------------------------------------------
2(5/3)
plus or minus sqrt(100/3)
= ------------------------------------
10/3
3 10
= ------* ----------- = sqrt(3) (answer)
10 sqrt(3)
