There are 16 cups in a gallon.
5 • 16 = 80
You need 80 cups of sugar for 5 gallons.
Answer:
r = i + j + (-2/3)(3i - j)
Step-by-step explanation:
Vector Equation of a line - r = a + kb ; where r is the resultant vector of adding vector a and vector b and k is a constant
if a = i + j ; b = t(3i - j) and r = -i +s(j)
for this to be true all the vector components must be equal
summing i 's
i + 3ti = -i; then t = -2/3
j - tj = sj; then s = 1-t; substitue t; s=1+2/3 = 5/3
so r = i + j + (-2/3)(3i - j) which will symplify to -i + 5/3j
In this question a vital information has been provided. This information can be used for determining the answer to the question that is asked. It is given that 120% of a certain number is 360 pound. The 100% value of the number needs to be determined.
Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
120x/100 = 360
12x/10 = 360
12x = 360 * 10
12x = 3600
x = 3600/12
= 300
Now we can say that the 100% of the number or the actual number is 300 pounds. I hope the problem is clear to you and you can understand the trick involved in the question.
Estimate is 800 and the answer is 866
