Answer: Using operations with fraction to solve the problem, Laura went over by 1/6 of a cup (option D).


Solution:

The recipe says that she has to mix 64 grams of chocolate powder to the flour. Like 1 cup of that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams, 64 grams represent:

64/128=(64/64)/(128/64)=1/2 of a cup of chocolate

She added 2/3 of a cup of chocolate powder to the flour. If we compare:

2/3=0.67 > 1/2=0.5

Then, she went over by:

2/3-1/2=[(2(2)-3(1)]6=(4-3)/6=1/6 of a cup

She went over by 1/6 of a cup because 64 is half of 128 and 2/3 is greater then 1/2

19. The heights, in inches, of players on a basketball team are:
Rom4ik [11]

Hello!

Let's find the mean of each team. Let's add up all of the heights and divide by number of players.

57+63+68+72+50+63+65+69+73+71+60=711

711/11≈64.64

Now we do the same with the soccer team.

49+53+52+52+57+61+55+61+59+61+50+50+51+62+50+57=880

880/16=55

Now we subtract.

64.64-55≈10

Therefore, our answer is D) 10 inches

I hope this helps!

GEOMETRY HELP! <br><br> This is my last question and I don’t know what the answer is! Please help!
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Temporarily subdivide the given area into two parts: a large rectangle and a parallelogram. Find the areas of these two shapes separately and then combine them for the total area of the figure.

By counting squares on the graph, we see that the longest side of the rectangle is the hypotenuse of a triangle whose legs are 8 and 2. Applying the Pyth. Thm., we find that this length is √(8^2+2^2), or √68. Similarly, we find the the width of this rectangle is √(17). Thus, the area of the rectangle is √(17*68), or 34 square units.

This leaves the area of the parallelogram to be found. The length of one of the longer sides of the parallelogram is 6 and the width of the parallelogram is 1. Thus, the area of the parallelogram is A = 6(1) = 6 square units.

The total area of the given figure is then 34+6, or 40, square units.
