"Alaina’s sugar cookie recipe calls for 2 1/4
cups of flour per batch. If she wants to make 2/3
a batch of cookies, how much flour should she use?"
1 1/2 Cups, if she wants to make less than the original recipe, she would need less flour, you have to divide.
Answer:
Width=10
Length=18
Step-by-step explanation:
The length is 2 feet less then twice the width
Let the width be x.
Then the length is 2x -2 based on the given information. Use this to make an equation since it is known that the area is 180feet squared.
x(2x-2)=180
2x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0
2( x^2 - x - 90) = 0
We now have a factorable quadratic.
2(x+9)(x-10)=0
So by zero product property, x=-9, x=10 Since a measure cannot be negative, -9 is an extraneous solution.
So x=10
Then the width is 10 and the length is 18
Hope this helps! Let me know if it is correct!
Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y
This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643
The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y
Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44
Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243
Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400
Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243
Answer:B
Step-by-step explanation: x is less than 1 so it is a open circle on the graph and x is greater than or equal to -1 so it is a closed circle on -1, B has both of these so B is the answer
