<span>The proportion of clay uses is 3/8 (Three Eighths). That is 3 lbs. of clay to every 8 vases. This is determined by the first given proportion 3 lbs./8 vases and confirmed by the second. To prove that is the case you divide the second ration by the first numerator: 9 divided by 3 = 3 and 24 divided by 3 = 8. So the proportion for 9/24 is still 3/8. This can also be used to increase the number of vases made. For example if 40 vases need to be made: we divide 40 by the numerator 8 = 5. So we need 5 portions of 3 to make 40 vases. 5 times 3 = 15. So the 15 lbs. of clay is needed for 40 vases.</span>

Part A = She incorrectly add 1 (4/4) with 3/4, so instead of getting 7/4 she got 8/4.
Part B=She needs 28/4 (7) cups for 4 batches because 4/1x7/4=28/4.

I NEED HELP ASAP!! WILL MAKE YOU BRAINLIEST IF RIGHT +40 points!
Simora [160]

The standard form of a quadratic equation is ,

ax² + bx + c = 0.

And the formula to find the discriminant is b² - 4ac.

Here the first step is to change the given equation into standard form. So, add 1 to each sides of the equation. Therefore,

2x² – 9x + 2+1 = –1 + 1

2x² – 9x + 3 = 0

Next step is to compare the given equation with this equation to get the value of a, b and c.

After comparing the equations we will get a = 2, b = -9 and c = 3.

So, discriminant = b²- 4ac

=( -9)²-4 (2)(3)

= 81 - 24

= 57

So, discriminant of the given equation is 57.

57 is greater than 0 and square root of 57 will result real number.

So, the correct choice is C: The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.

worty [1.4K]
I'm assuming this is a yearly interest.

2500*.04=100
7500*.05=375

so that would be $475 earned from interest

Tell whether the two quantities vary directly. Explain your reasoning. The cafeteria provides three meals per day.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The cafeteria provides three meals per day.

<u>Reason 1</u>

Yes, they vary directly  

As number of days increases ,Total number of meals i.e

1st day ⇒ 3

2nd day⇒6

3 rd day⇒9

4th day⇒12

......................

.........................

increases.

Total number of Meals = k×Number of days

But there is another possibility also

<u>Reason 2</u>

1 st day ⇒ 3

2nd day ⇒3

3rd day⇒ 3

.....................

.....................

As you can see from the above expression On each day number of meals is  

constant.

So we can say that ,

On each Day=Constant amount of meal=3

So, there is no Proportionality between Days and Meal.
