Answer:

She can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data of this problem is missing, the data missing is:

Her recipe calls for 3/4 of a pint of milk and she only has 5/8 of a pint of milk.

Now, to know what's the portion she can do with that amount we need to divide the amount of milk she has by the total amount she needs:

\frac{5}{8} ÷\frac{3}{4}

When we divide we turn the second fraction upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and viceversa) and multiply, thus:

\frac{5}{8}÷\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{8}×\frac{4}{3} =\frac{20}{24}

If we simplify this last expression we have:

\frac{20}{24}=\frac{10}{12}  =\frac{5}{6}

Thus, she can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

<em>Note: In case the data missing is different, you can apply this same procedure with the fractions you have. </em>

Match each exponential function to the description of its percent rate of change. 22% growth 12% decay 2% decay 20% growth 20% d
makvit [3.9K]

The exponential function is defined as y = a(1+r)^x, where "a" represents the original account and "r" the rate of growth or decay.

Then we have the following:

1) 22% grow

y = a( 1 + 22%/100 )^x = a(1.22)^x

So the solution is: 124(1.22)^x

2) 12% decay

y = a( 1 - 12%/100 )^x = a(0.88)^x

So the solution is: y = f(x) = 44(0.88)^x

3) 20% decay

y = a( 1 - 20%/100 )^x = a(0.8)^x

So the solution is: f(x) = 22(0.8)

4) 12% Groth

y = a( 1 + 12%/100 )^x = a(1.12)^x

So the solution is: f(x) = 42(1.12)^x

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

468 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A catering service offers 5 appetizers, 4 main courses, and 8 desserts

To find: number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts.

Solution:

A permutation is an arrangement of elements such that order of elements matters and repetition is not allowed.

Number of appetizers = 5

Number of main courses = 4

Number of desserts = 8

Number of ways of choosing k terms from n terms = nPk=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}

Number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts =  5P4+4P2+8P3

=\frac{5!}{(5-4)!}+\frac{4!}{(4-2)!}+\frac{81}{(8-3)!}\\=5!+\frac{4!}{2!}+\frac{8!}{5!}\\=5!+(4\times 3)+(8\times 7\times 6)\\=120+12+336\\=468

So, this can be done in 468 ways.
