A bakery uses 3/4 cups of oats to make a 2 4/7 pounds of oatmeal cookies.how many cups of oats are required per pound of cookies

1 answer:

3 0

We can use ratios to find the answer to this.
Set up the ratio.
3/4 / 18/7 = x / 1

Multiply both sides by 1
3/4 / 18/7 = x

Inverse 18/7 to 7/18 so we can multiply.
3/4 * 7/18 = x
Multiply.
21/72 = x
Simplify7/24 = x
Therefore, 7/24 cups of oats is used per pound.

-3x-y=-17 4x + 2 y equals 20

ExtremeBDS [4]

-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20

multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.

(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20

Now we have:

-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14

Divide -2 on both sides.

-2x = -14
/-2       /-2

x = -7.

=============================================

To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20

4x + 2y = 20

4(-7) + 2y = 20

-28 + 2y = 20

Add 28 on both sides

-28 + 2y = 20
+28          +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2      /2

y = 24.

The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.

You may have to do this by yourself :P

Anyways, if you have any questions about this topic, feel free to PM me or any other users interested. Thank you for being part of Brainly! Have a nice day!

A rope of length 18 feet is arranged in the shape of a sector of a circle with central angle O radians, as shown in the

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$A(\theta)=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

Let

r ---> the radius of the sector

s ---> the arc length of sector

Find the radius r

we know that

$2r+s=18$

$s=r \theta$

$2r+r \theta=18$

solve for r

$r=\frac{18}{2+\theta}$

step 2

Find the value of s

$s=r \theta$

substitute the value of r

$s=\frac{18}{2+\theta}\theta$

step 3

we know that

The area of complete circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

The complete circle subtends a central angle of 2π radians

using proportion find the area of the sector by a central angle of angle theta

Let

A ---> the area of sector with central angle theta

$\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2\pi}=\frac{A}{\theta} \\\\A=\frac{r^2\theta}{2}$

substitute the value of r

$A=\frac{(\frac{18}{2+\theta})^2\theta}{2}$

$A=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

Convert to function notation

$A(\theta)=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

From data gathered in the period 2008−2012, the yearly value of U.S. exports can be modeled by the function E(x) = −228x3 + 2,25

vredina [299]

Answer:

The total value the U.S. imported and exported is 19364 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The yearly value of U.S. exports can be modeled by the function

E(x) = −228 x³ + 2,252.8 x² − 6,098.5 x + 11,425.8

# x is the number of years after 2008

# E(x) is the value of exports in billions of dollars

- The yearly value of U.S. imports can be modeled by the function

I(x) = −400.4 x³ + 3,954.4 x² − 11,128.8 x + 17,749.6

# x is the number of years after 2008

# I(x) is the value of imports in billions of dollars

* We need to calculate the total value the U.S. imported and

exported in 2012

∵ x is the number of years after 2008

∴ At 2012 x = 4 years

- Lets calculate the value of the exports in 2012

∴ E(x) = -228(4)³ + 2,252.8(4)² - 6,098.5(4) + 11,425.8

∴ E(x) = 8484.6 billion dollars

- Lets calculate the value of the imports in 2012

∴ I(x) = -400.4(4)³ + 3,954.4(4)² - 11,128.8(4) + 17,749.6

∴ I(x) = 10879.2 billion dollar

∵ The total value the U.S. imported and exported = E(x) + (I(x)

∴ The total value = 8484.6 + 10879.2 = 19363.8

∴ The total value = 19364 billion dollars

* The total value the U.S. imported and exported is 19364 billion dollars
