Answer:

48 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that no matter what, we can't go over the limit of how much material we have.

Let's look at the flour. 5/(3/2)=5*2/3= 10/3=3 1/3.

And now the sugar. 4/(5/4)=4*4/5=16/5=3 1/5.

Lastly, the butter. (7/4)/(1/2)=(7/4)*2=14/4=3 2/4=3 1/2.

At this point, we can just say 3 batches or 45 cookies. But what about the fractions?

If a number is greater then another, it doesn't only mean its more, it also means that the smaller number fits into the bigger number at least 1 time. Meaning that the smallest number here, is the sugar, 3 1/5, fits into the others at least once, meaning that, that is the maximum amount of batches that we/Ramon can make.

But we can't forget that the question is asking how many cookies baked, not batches. One batch has 15 cookies. 15*3 1/5=48.

Ramon can make 48 cookies (Yum!).

5 cups of flour will make 5/(1 1/2) x 15 = 50 shortbread cookies
4 cups of sugar will make 4/(1 1/4) x 15 = 48 shortbread cookies
1 3/4 cups of butter will make (1 3/4)/(1/2) x 15 = 52 1/2 shortbread cookies

Therefore, 5 cups of flour, 4 cups of sugar, and 1 3/4 cups of butter will make 48 shortbread cookies.

The circle graph shows how the annual budget for a company is divided by department. If the amount budgeted for Media and Sales
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

125,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In percentage,

Media + Sales = 3 + 17 = 20%

Let total budget be "t", so we can say:

20% of total budget is 25,000,000

"of" means "multiplication" and "is" means "equal to", so we can convert word equation to algebraic equation. Shown below:

20% * t = 25,000,000

20% = 20/100 = 0.2

Thus, the final equation is:

0.2t = 25,000,000

Solving for t, we get:

0.2t = 25,000,000\\t=\frac{25,000,000}{0.2}\\t=125,000,000

The total budget is (125 million) = 125,000,000

Four usual dice are thrown on the ground. The total of numbers on the top faces of these four dice is 13 as the top faces showed
NikAS [45]

The total of the faces touching the ground is 15.

<h3 /><h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is simply how likely something is to happen. Whenever we're unsure about the outcome of an event, we can talk about the probabilities of certain outcomes—how likely they are. The analysis of events governed by probability is called statistics.

Given that:

Four usual dice are thrown

Total of numbers on the top faces of these four dice = 13

we know that in a dice, the sum of the numbers on any two opposite faces is always 7.

So,1 is opposite 6,

2 is opposite 5

and 3 is opposite 4.

Now, when 4,3,1 and 5 are the numbers on the top faces, then 3,4,6 and 2 respectively are the numbers on the face touching the ground as they sum upto 7.

Hence, total o faces touching the ground =3+4+6+2=15.
