3 dumplings can be made by Serenity

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Serenity has 2\frac{1}{2} cups of dough to make dumplings

She uses \frac{3}{4} cup of dough for each dumpling

To find: Number of whole dumplings made

From given information,

\text{Total cups of dough } = 2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2+1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}

\text{Cups of dough for 1 dumpling } = \frac{3}{4}

To find the number of whole dumplings made, we can divide the total cups of dough by cups of dough for 1 dumpling

\text{Number of whole dumplings made } = \frac{\text{total cups of dough}}{\text{cups of dough for 1 dumpling}}\\\\\text{Number of whole dumplings made } = \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\\\\\text{Number of whole dumplings made } = \frac{10}{3} = 3.33 \approx 3

Thus 3 dumplings can be made

Hello, precalc, need help on finding csc
Ainat [17]

Recall the double angle identity for cosine:

\cos(2x) = \cos^2(x) - \sin^2(x) = 1 - 2 \sin^2(x)

It follows that

\sin^2(x) = \dfrac{1 - \cos(2x)}2 \implies \sin(x) = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos(2x)}2} \implies \csc(x) = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac2{1-\cos(2x)}}

Since 0° < 22° < 90°, we know that sin(22°) must be positive, so csc(22°) is also positive. Let x = 22°; then the closest answer would be C,

\csc(22^\circ) = \sqrt{\dfrac2{1-\cos(44^\circ)}} = \sqrt{\dfrac2{1-\frac5{13}}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{13}}2

but the problem is that none of these claims are true; cot(32°) ≠ 4/3, cos(44°) ≠ 5/13, and csc(22°) ≠ √13/2...

Solve. Use the strategy "work backward."
cestrela7 [59]

Let that be x

ATQ

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3x-6/5=9

Arrange accordingly to work backwards(Every thing is reversed)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 9(5)+6/3=x

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 45+6/3=x

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 51/3=x

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=17

Tom,Scott and dawn sold cookies at the school fair.
aleksklad [387]
First of all work out how many tom and scott sold.
tom sold 60% of 90 cookies which is 54.
scott sold 2/3 of 150 cookies which is 100.
altogether the three of them sold 54+100+46 cookies which is 200.
Dawn sold 46 of these 200 cookies. To work out the percentage we have both the numbers to get 23 out of 100. We halved those numbers because a percentage is out of 100 we halved it to get it out of 100.
so 23 out of 100 is 23% so dawn sold 23%of the cookies.

Hope this helps :)

. A segment has a midpoint at (2, -7) and an endpoint at (8, -5). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
Sliva [168]
Ok, you can refer to the midpoint formula to find the endpoint.  Here goes...


MP=(2,-7) and EP=(8,-5)
Let x represent the missing endpoint.
(8+x)/2=2      NOTE: =2 represents first number of MP and the representation of number 8 is self explanatory.  You have two endpoints but need to identify the other endpoint so you divide by 2.  Then, multiply by two on both sides.
2(8+x)/2 = 2*2
16+x/2=4 do the next step (simplify) on the left side of equation 16x/2=8
Now, subtract 4-8=-4  So, the x coordinated of the missing endpoint is -4.
