7 0

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are rational, a - b has to be rational because we are not dividing them. 2 rational numbers subtracted from each other is always a rational number.

Example: 34 (rational) 23 (rational)

34 - 23 = 11 (rational)

A recipe uses 5 cups of milk to make 10 servings. If the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can be
Margaret [11]

Answer: 24 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, we should note that:

4 cups = 1 quart

Therefore, 3 quarts = 3 × 4 cups = 12 cups

Since she uses 5 cups of milk to make 10 servings, it means that 1 cup of milk is used to make 2 servings. Therefore, 12 cups would be used to make:

= 12 × 2

= 24 servings.

An ice cube is made of 5 fluid ounces of water. About how many milliliters of water does it take to make an ice cube
Sergio [31]

<u>ANSWER: </u>

147.868 mL of water is required to make an ice cube.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given that, an ice cube is made up of 5 fluid ounces of water.

We need to find how many milli liters of water does it require to make an ice cube.

For, that we have to convert 5 fluid ounces in to units of milli liters.

We know that, 1 US fluid ounce equals to 29.5735 milli liters. i.e. 1 US fluid ounce = 29.5735 mL

Now,  

An ice cube is made by 5 fluid ounces = 5 x 1 fluid ounce

= 5 x 29.5735 mL  = 147.868 mL

Hence, 147.868 mL of water is required to make an ice cube.

The lid for a circular plastic food container has a diameter of 9 cm.
Levart [38]
If the diameter is 9 cm the radius is 4.5 cm (half the diameter).  The area of a circle is given by the formula:  4πr^2, where π is the constant ratio of circumference to diameter (3.14159...).

3.14 cm x 4.5 cm = 14.13 cm^2.  Remember, the units must be squared to represent area.  14.13 is extended to the nearest hundredth.
