For this case we have the following data:

The recipe for cookies requires:

  • 2 pounds of flour
  • 0.75 pounds of butter

If the flour becomes the main ingredient, it will be represented by 100%.

Now, you want to know the percentage of butter, taking into account that the flour represents 100%. For this, we use a rule of three:

2 pounds of flour         ------> 100%

0.75 pounds of butter ------> x

Where x represents % butter, since flour represents 100%.

So, we have:

x =\frac{0.75*100}{2}

x = \frac{75}{2}

x = 37.5%

Thus, butter represents 37.5% of the recipe.

Answer:

37.5%

Find the missing dimension of each prism: volume= 56 1/4 ft | width= 3 3/4 ft | length= 7 1/2 ft
Juliette [100K]
Prism volume = width*length*height
56 1/4 = 3 3/4 * 7 1/2 * h

56.25=3.75*7.5*h

h=(56.25)/(3.75*7.5)=2

So that the missing dimension (height) is 2 ft
