Set up a proportion. 4 3/4 cup broth is to 10 servings as x cups broth is to 1 serving soup.

x= amount of broth in one serving

(4 3/4)/10= x/1
cross multiply

(4 3/4)(1)= 10x
convert 4 3/4 to improper fraction

(19/4)(1)= 10x

19/4= 10x
divide both sides by 10

19/4 ÷ 10= x
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal of 10

19/4 * 1/10= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

(19*1)/(4*10)= x

19/40 cup= x


ANSWER: 19/40 cup in one serving

Hope this helps! :)

What fraction is greater 1/4 or 3/8
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1/4 < 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get a common denominator to compare.  We will use a common denominator of 8

1/4 *2/2    or 3/8

2/8 or 3/8

since the denominators are the same

2<3

so 1/4 < 3/8

Which of the following best describes the graphs below?​
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The 3rd statement best describes the graphs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3rd statement best describes the graphs because they must be similar. The two triangles cannot be congruent because Triangle A must be dilated to become Triangle B.

Multiplying by a scale factor of 1/2 would cause the shape to shrink, but multiplying by a scale factor of 2 would cause the shape to grow.

How do u solve 4(3x-1)=9-x
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the first step is to apply the distributive property:

4(3x - 1) is equal to (12x - 4). You DISTRIBUTE a '4' to what is inside the parentheses.

And btw, to make it easier, you can make 9 - x so that x is first. For example, (-x + 9). They're both the same thing, just written differently.

Your new equation is 12x - 4 = -x + 9. You want to now solve the equation.

Add the (-x) to both sides. It cancels out on the right side and you add it to 12x on the left side.

[If there's no number in front of a variable, you can always just put 1 in order to make it easier]

12x + 1x = 13x. Your new equation is 13x - 4 = 9. This should look very familiar. You simply add 4 to both sides. 9 + 4 = 13

Finally, 13x = 13. Divide 13 ÷ 13 to get 1.

x = 1

Kevin is observing the population of the fish he put into a pond. He built a pond and populated it with 500 fish. The population
LuckyWell [14K]
Given that the number of years should be represented with x, the number of fish in the pond after x years should best be represented with f(x). The equation that would best show the given scenario in the problem above is,
                             f(x) = 500(2^x)
From the given, 500 is used as the initial population of the fish.
