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! :)

Circle R has equation
Rudiy27

Answer:

The center is (-10,10)  and the radius is 4sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 48

We can write the equation of a circle as

(x -h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2  where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-  -10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = (sqrt(16*3) )^2

(x-  -10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = (4sqrt(3)) ^2

The center is (-10,10)  and the radius is 4sqrt(3)
