Answer:
It cannot be further simplified
Step-by-step explanation:
11 is a prime number, so there are no numbers that can go into 14 and 11 (besides 1 and 1 would not simplify the problem)
Flour : sugar = (1/3) : (1/5) = 5 : 3 . . . . . . . . multiply the first ratio by 15 to eliminate fractions
The total of ratio units in the last representation is 5+3=8, so for a recipe of 16 cups, each ratio unit will stand for 16/8 = 2 cups.
Multiplying the ratio by 2 cups, we find Amanda will need
... 10 cups flour : 6 cups sugar
for her recipe.
Area = Length x Width
so, 88 = (something) x 8
Can you work out the something using mental math?
Answer:
250 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The given distance between the house and the beach is 125 miles.
Let
miles be the distance between the house and the lunch stop.
So, at the time of the lunch stop, he already traveled
miles, the remaining distance is the distance between the lunch stop and the beach.
Let
miles be the remaining distance, so

Give that the ratio of the distance he has traveled,
, to the distance he still has to travel,
, is
,i.e








Hence, the distance traveled by Herman when he stops for lunch is 250 miles.
