One whole jar= 3/3 or 1
Set up a ratio comparing the two sets of measurements.
2 2/4 ounces of peanuts is to 2/3 of a jar as x ounces of peanuts is to 3/3 of a jar.
x= ounces in 1 whole jar
2 2/4 / 2/3= x / 3/3
cross multiply
(2 2/4 * 3/3)= (2/3 * x)
convert to improper fractions
10/4 * 3/3= 2/3x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(10*3)/(4*3)= 2/3x
30/12= 2/3x
divide both sides by 2/3
30/12 ÷ 2/3= x
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 2/3
30/12 * 3/2= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(30*3)/(12*2)= x
90/24= x
simplify by 6
15/4 or 3 3/4 ounces= x
ANSWER: 3 3/4 ounces can make a full jar.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Ayden can make 10 smoothies
Step-by-step explanation:
1 cup of yogurt would be equal to four 1/4 cups.
2 cups of yogurt would be equal to eight 1/4 cups.
1/2 cup of yogurt would be equal to two 1/4 cups.
If two cups of yogurt equals eight 1/4 cups and 1/2 cup equals two 1/4, Ayden would be able to make 10 smoothies with the amount he has.
If you get a Texas calc, input this equation and it’ll give u the answer.
2x^2 + 16x + 34 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 17 = 0
x^2 + 8x + 16 = -17 + 16 = -1
(x + 4)^2 = -1
x + 4 = sqrt(-1) = ±i
x = -4 <span>±</span> i
I got 12 because each time you are dividing the number in half. Half of 24 is 12.
