If the sides are proportional you can use the formula:

3x + 4x + 5x = 240 and solve for x.

which is:  12x = 240
x = 20

The longest side is 5x, so the longest side is 100.

A crepe recipe calls for 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, and 1 cup of milk. How much flour would you need if you use 5 eggs?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: 2.5 cups of flour is needed for 5 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The crepe recipe calls for 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, and 1 cup of milk. This means that the ratio of eggs to cup of flour to cup of milk required is 2:1:1

Therefore, if you use 5 eggs, the proportions would increase by 2.5. Multiplying by 2.5, it becomes

5 : 2.5 : 2.5

Therefore, you would need 2.5 cups of flour for 5 eggs.

x2 - x1
(-1 is x1, 5 is y1) (3 is x2, 13 is y2)
13 - 5 8
——— = — = 2
3 - (-1) 4

2 is the slope

Given the function h(x) = 3(5)x, Section A is from x = 0 to x = 1 and Section B is from x = 2 to x = 3.
otez555 [7]

We can write the function in terms of y rather than h(x) so that:

y = 3 (5)^x

 

A. The rate of change is simply calculated as:

r = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1) where r stands for rate

 

Section A:

rA = [3 (5)^1 – 3 (5)^0] / (1 – 0)

rA = 12

 

Section B:

rB = [3 (5)^3 – 3 (5)^2] / (3 – 2)

rB = 300

 

B. We take the ratio of rB / rA:

rB/rA = 300 / 12

rB/rA = 25

 

So we see that the rate of change of section B is 25 times greater than A
