To find the total cups of flour and sugar, we add the amounts of each together.

Total cups= 3/4 + 2/4
add the numerators (top) only

= 5/4

convert from improper fraction to a mixed fraction

4 goes into 5 one time with a remainder of 1

= 1 1/4 total cups

ANSWER: The total flour and sugar is 1 1/4 cups.

Hope this helps! :)

How do I solve 2m + n = 2 and 3m - 2n = 3 using substitution?

Leona [35]

$\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}$

Solve 2m + n = 2 and 3m - 2n = 3 using substitution.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

We can use the substitution method to solve linear equations of this form. Let's solve for m & n.

$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 2 m + n = 2 } \\ { 3 m - 2 n = 3 } \end{array} \right.$

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

$2m+n=2, \: 3m-2n=3$

Choose one of the equations and solve it for m by isolating m on the left-hand side of the equal sign.

$2m+n=2$

Subtract n from both sides of the equation.

$2m=-n+2$

Divide both sides by 2.

$m=\frac{1}{2}\left(-n+2\right) \\$

Multiply 1/2 times -n+2.

$m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1 \\$

Substitute $-\frac{n}{2}+1\\$ for m in the other equation, 3m-2n=3.

$3\left(-\frac{1}{2}n+1\right)-2n=3 \\$

Multiply 3 times $-\frac{n}{2}+1\\$ .

$-\frac{3}{2}n+3-2n=3 \\$

Add $-\frac{3n}{2}\\$ to -2n.

$-\frac{7}{2}n+3=3 \\$

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$-\frac{7}{2}n=0 \\$

Divide both sides of the equation by $-\frac{7}{2}\\$ , which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$\large \underline{\underline{ \bf \: n=0 }}$

Substitute 0 for n in $m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1\\$ . Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for m directly.

$\large \underline{ \underline{\bf \: m=1 }}$

The system is now solved.

$\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: m=1, \: n=0 }}$

How do you solve this

fiasKO [112]

(((x + y) / 3) + (1 / x)) / (5 + (15 / x))
The best way is to make it one fraction.
Multiply by ((3x/3x) / (3x/3x)) to remove the other fractions.
((x(x + y)) + 3(1)) / (5(3x) + 3(15))
(x^2 + xy + 3) / (15x + 45)
Then factor to simplify
(x^2 + xy + 3) / (3(x + 15))

A metal conduit will be used as a pathway for wiring through a concrete block. The conduit is a 5 foot long rod with an outer di

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: 586.59 cubic centimeters .

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given . we have

Inner diameter = 1.8 inches

⇒Inner radius :r = 0.9 in. (radius is half of diameter)

= 0.9 x (2.54) = 2.286 cm [∵ 1 in . = 2.54 cm]

Outer diameter = 2 inches

⇒Outer radius : R = 1 inch = 2.54 cm

Height : h = 5 feet = 5 x(30.48) = 152.4 cm [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

The formula to find the volume of a hollow cylinder :

$V=\pi(R^2-r^2)h$ , where R= outer radius , r= inner radius and h= height.

Now , the volume of metal in the conduit :

$V=(3.14)(( 2.54)^2-(2.286)^2)(152.4)$

$V=(3.14)(6.4516-5.225796)(152.4)$

$V=(3.14)(1.225804)(152.4)$

$V=586.591342944\approx586.59\ cm^3$

Hence, the volume of metal in the conduit is 586.59 cubic centimeters .
