s of flour?

Andrews [41]3 years ago

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!

Gnom [1K]
3(5b-1)=5
Get rid of the brackets
15b-3=5
add 3 to both sides of the equation
15b=8
divide both sides of the equation by 15
b=0.53

4(3y-1)=20
12y-4=20
12y=24
y=0.5

Name the sampling method used in each of the following situations:
elixir [45]

Answer:

a) Convenient

b) Cluster

c) Stratified

d) Systematic

e) Random

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

Situation a:

Asks all from a single group(sitting passengers), that is, convenint sample.

Situation b:

First she separates the students by row, then from each row, she chooses all students. So this is Cluster sampling.

Situation c:

The manager separates the stores by location, and then in each location, random customers are chosen. This is an example of Stratified sampling.

Situation d:

Marks for every fourth patron, that is, every 4th element. So Systematic sampling.

Situation e:

People chosen at random, so Random sampling.
