s of flour?

To solve this problem, we are going to need to set up a proportion. Let's let x represent what we are trying to find, the number of teaspoons of vanilla needed for the cookie recipe when 5 cups of flour are used.


3 cups flour/1.5 tsp vanilla = 5 cups flour/x tsp vanilla


The easiest way to simplify a proportion like this is to cross multiply. This means taking the numerator of one fraction and multiplying it by the denominator of the other fraction and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:


3 * x = 5 * 1.5


The first thing we should do to simplify is multiply our values on both sides of the equation.


3x = 7.5


Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get the variable x (what we are trying to figure out) by itself.


x = 2.5


This means that for 5 cups of flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla are needed.


Hope this helps!

Find the area of the shaded region.<br> 8 in<br> 24 in
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

96 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle: 24*8=192

Area of triangle: (1/2)*base*height

= .5 * 8 * 24

=192/2

=96

area of shaded=rectangle - triangle

= 192-96

which is also just 192/2

so it is 96

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

x ≈ 28.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin x = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{3.9}{8.1} , then

x = sin^{-1} (\frac{3.9}{8.1} ) ≈ 28.8° ( to the nearest tenth )
