Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Cream = 3 cups

Chocolate = 6 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Cream = 1 cup

Chocolate = 2 cups

Total = 3 cups

Cream : chocolate = 1 : 2

He uses 9 cups of these two ingredients. How many cups of chocolate does he use in this candy recipe?

Cream = ratio of cream/total ratio of total cups

= 1/3 of 9

= 1/3 × 9

= 3 cups

Cream = 3 cups

Chocolate = ratio of chocolate/total ratio of total cups

= 2/3 of 9

= 2/3 × 9

= 6 cups

Chocolate = 6 cups

According to the motion picture association of America, 4% of all movie advertising is on the internet 1/10 of all movie adverti
kolbaska11 [484]
First you want to change the 4% to a fraction so 4/100.  Then you have to figure out if 4/100 or 1/10 is larger.  4/100 reduces to 1/25.  So the 1/10 or 1 in 10 is more often then the 1/25 or 1 in 25.

Find the value of x in the shown figure
zhannawk [14.2K]
Im not really sure if im right but i think the answer is 140-

Explanation:
I added 30+10 which equalled 40 and then i noticed the circle which would equal 360 and subtracted it from the 40 however that got me more then i needed since it wasnt one of the choices. Then i thought hmm maybe its a supplementary angle which usually equals 180 so i subtracted it from 40 which got me 140! Like i said i dont know if im right or not :(

Write the equation for the linear function. A={(x,y): (0,2)(-2,0)(-3,1)...}
Kay [80]

Answer:

y=x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line or linear function, you need at least two points that lie on the line. This is to find the slope or gradient of the line if it's not given. Let's use the two points (0,2) and (-2,0). The first coordinate in each point is X and the second is the y coordinate.

GRADIENT/SLOPE=[y1-y2]/[x1-x2]

=[2-0]/[0-2]=1

The equation of a linear function is given. by Y-y1=m(X-x1)

Y-2=1(X-0)

Y=X+2

VERIFICATION OF SOLUTION

You may want to verify whether you are right by substituting values of x to see if you can obtain corresponding y values.

Example: if x=0, y=0+2=2.This confirms first point
