Answer:

a) 9 whole batches can be made

b) The cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2-pound bag of sugar contains 227 one-teaspoon servings and costs $2.49.

This means:

2 pound bag of sugar = 227 teaspoon servings

2 pounds bag of sugar cost $2.49

We are told that:

A batch of muffins uses 1/2 cup of sugar.

a).How many whole batches can you make if you use as much of the sugar as possible?

(1 cup = 48 teaspoons)

Hence, A batch of muffins = 1/2 cups of sugar = 48 teaspoons of sugar ÷ 2

= 24 teaspoons of sugar

Hence:

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

227 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 1 × 227

x = 227/24

x = 9.4583333333 batches of muffins

We are asked to name the number of whole batches that can be made.

Therefore, 9 whole batches of muffins can be made

b) What is the cost of sugar for each batch? (do not consider leftover sugar in the cost calculation.) You can make a total of batches at $ per batch.

Since we are not to consider the leftover sugar in the cost calculation,

1 batch = 24 teaspoons of sugar

9 whole batches =

9 × 24 teaspoons = 216 teaspoons of sugar was used

The left over = 227 - 216 = 11 teaspoons of sugar is left

We know that:

227 teaspoons of sugar = $2.49

216 teaspoons of sugar = x

Cross Multiply

= 216 × $2.49/227

= $2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar = 1 batch of muffins

Therefore,

216 teaspoons of sugar =

$2.369339207

24 teaspoons of sugar =

24 × $2.369339207/ 216

= $0.2632599119

Approximately = $0.26

Therefore, the cost of sugar for each batch = $0.26

Line AB passes through points A(–6, 6) and B(12, 3). If the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,
inn [45]

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}

Therefore we have y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b.

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b

3=-2+b          <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

5=b\to b=5

Answer:

m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5

What are m∠1 and m∠2?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

B. <1 = 35, m<2 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out m<1 I first need to figure out the other missing angle. A straight line is a 180 degree angle. Taking that information you can do 180 - 115. This means that the missing angle is 65 degrees. The interior angles of triangles always add up to 180.

80 + 65 = 145

180 - 145 = 35

<1 = 35

Repeat with the other side.

85 + 65 = 150

180 - 150 = 30

<2 = 30

Hope this helps!
