I see that the slope of one line is the reciprocal of the slope of the other: -4/5 and -5/4. Unfortunately, these cannot be called perpendicular lines, because the slopes of perp. lines are negative reciprocals.

Neither are the slopes of these two lines equal. Were they equal, the lines would be parallel.

The most probably true statement would be that the two lines intersect. If you want to understand this problem well, graph the 2 lines and determine where they intersect. My result is the point (-5, 5.75).

A recipe calls for 14cup of brown sugar for every 23cup of white sugar. How many cups of brown sugar are required for every cup

photoshop1234 [79]

Note: Consider all the numeric values are in the fraction form. Like $14\to \dfrac{1}{4}$ , $23\to \dfrac{2}{3}$ etc.

Given:

A recipe calls for $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cup of brown sugar for every $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cup of white sugar.

To find:

The number of cups of brown sugar that are required for every cup of white sugar.

Solution:

We know that,

Required brown sugar for $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cup of white sugar = $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cup

Using this, we get

Required brown sugar for 1 cup of white sugar = $\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}$ cup

$=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{2}$ cup

$=\dfrac{3}{8}$ cup

So, $\dfrac{3}{8}$ cup of brown sugar is required for every cup of white sugar.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

At a family reunion, a family friend brings 20 pounds of ice and 30 cups. Which expression shows the greatest common factor, usi

Eddi Din [679]

The expression for the greatest common factor of 20 and 30 using the distributive property is 10(2 + 3)

Pounds of ice = 20

Number of cups = 30

The relation for the distributive property :

a × (b + c)

Expand ;

a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c) = ab + ac

Finding the greatest common factor of 20 and 30 ;

20 = 2 × 10

30 = 3 × 10

(2 × 10) + (3 × 10)

According to the distributive property

(2 × 10) + (3 × 10) = 10(2 + 3)

Therefore, the expression for the greatest common factor is 10(2 + 3)
