Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this problem, we need to divide the recipe amount in 1/6 amounts. So, we will do a fraction division problem like this:
15÷
This problem is hard to do with mixed numbers, so we need to turn 15 into an improper fraction. To do that we need to multiply 15 by 6, because that is our denominator, then add the extra .
(15×6)+1
90+1
91
So, our improper fraction would be, now, let's solve.
÷
It is difficult to do division problems on their own, so we can change this into an easier problem. We can do the inverse operation and turn this into multiplication. We do this by changing it to multiplication (obviously), then flip the second fraction.
×
Now, we just multiply the top by the top, and bottom by the bottom.
We could end it here, but we want a whole number, so, we simplify the number by dividing both the top and bottom by 6.
Anything over 1, is just a whole number
91.
<u>Therefore, the recipe should require 91 uses of the 1/6 cup.</u>
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
Can someone tutor me too!!!
Answers:
- The lengths of sides PQ and RS are <u> 13 </u>
- The lengths of sides QR and SP are <u> </u><u>20 </u>
This is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
============================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the drawing below.
Let x be the length of side SP. Since we're dealing with a rectangle, the opposite side is the same length. Side QR is also x units long.
We're told that RS = SP - 7 which is the same as saying RS = x-7
We also know that PQ = x-7 as well because PQ is opposite side RS.
In short, we have these four sides in terms of x
- PQ = x-7
- QR = x
- RS = x-7
- SP = x
as shown in the drawing. The four sides add up to the perimeter of 66.
PQ+QR+RS+SP = perimeter
PQ+QR+RS+SP = 66
(x-7)+x+(x-7)+x = 66
4x-14 = 66
4x = 66+14
4x = 80
x = 80/4
x = 20
Use this x value to find the unknown side lengths.
- PQ = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- QR = x = 20
- RS = x-7 = 20-7 = 13
- SP = x = 20
In short, this is a 13 by 20 rectangle.
-----------------
Check:
perimeter = side1+side2+side3+side4
perimeter = PQ+QR+RS+SP
perimeter = 13+20+13+20
perimeter = 33+33
perimeter = 66
The answer is confirmed.
Guatemalans would use milliliters because they use the metric system which is common throughout Latin America and which is basically easier to use than the Imperial system because it is all divisible by 10 whether it be millitres,litres,meters, kilometers etc.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 = 15 dogs
divide 15 by 3 and get 5
so each 1/5 = 5 animals
4/5 = 20
5/5 = 25
25-15=10
