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! :)

A triangle is inscribed in a circle. The vertices of the triangle divide the circle into three arcs of lengths 3, 4, and 5. What
krok68 [10]

The area of the required triangle is <u>9/π²(3  + √3)</u> sq. units.

In the question, we are given that a triangle is inscribed in a circle. The vertices of the triangle divide the circle into three arcs of lengths 3, 4, and 5.

We are asked for the area of the triangle.

Now, the circumference of the circle = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 units.

The formula for the circumference is 2πr, which gives is:

2πr = 12,

or, r = 6/π.

The length of the arcs are proportional to its central angle, making the angles: 3θ, 4θ, and 5θ, which needs to sum up to 360°, giving us θ = 360°/12 = 30°.

Thus, the three arcs subtends angles of θ₁ = 3θ = 90°,θ₂ = 4θ = 120°, and θ₃ = 5θ = 150°.

The area of the circle can be calculated as:

Area = (1/2)r² sin θ₁ + (1/2)r² sin θ₂ + (1/2)r² sin θ₃ = r²/2(sin θ₁ + sin θ₂ + sin θ₃).

Substituting the values, we get:

Area = 36/2π²(sin 90° + sin 120° + sin 150°),

or, Area = 36/2π²( 1 + √3/2 + 1/2),

or, Area = 9/π²(3  + √3).

Thus, the area of the required triangle is <u>9/π²(3  + √3)</u> sq. units.

Mei Mei left her house at time zero and drove for 4 minutes to the store, at a speed of 2 blocks per minute. Then she stopped an
m_a_m_a [10]

The graph for Mei Mei' trip is attached accordingly. Also attached are the  values derived from the question.

<h3>What is the explanation for the graph?</h3>

The secret to comprehending the graph is to understand that every time Mei Mei spent while she was on the way to bank and back were are all computed cumulatively.

This means that when she stops at the store which is 8 blocks away from home (that is 2 blocks per min x 4 mins = 8blocks) the time spent is recorded as 4 + 5 at location 8 blocks, which is equals 9 minutes.

Also take note of the fact that the time spent is plotted on the x-axis and the blocks away from home on the y-axis.
