Answers:
A. 1c/2lb
B. 8 cups of dressing
SOLUTION
Given that a catering company’s recipe for Salad uses a
ratio of 2c of dressing to 4 lb of vegetables
A. Write a ratio of dressing to vegetables as a reduced
fraction
A reduced fraction is the expression of a ratio in its simplest
fractional form
Dressing: Vegetable = 2c : 4 lb
In fractional form,
2c/4lb
2 is a common factor to both numerator and denominator
Therefore, in reduced fractional form,
2c/4lb = 1c/2lb
Therefore, ratio of dressing to vegetables as a reduced
fraction is 1c/2lb
B. How many cups of dressing would they need for 16 lb of
vegetables
1c = 2lb
16lb = ?
Since 1c = 2lb
2lb = 1c
1lb = 1/2 c
16lb = 16(1/2)c
16lb = 8c
Therefore, they would need 8 cups of dressing for 16 lb of
vegetables

One assignment a day and a little bit on another
The pyramid is shown in the diagram below.
The pyramid is built from four congruent triangles and one square as the base
We have the side of the square, so the area is = 10×10 = 100
We need the height of the triangle to work out its area. We can find out by using the height of the pyramid and half of the length of the side of the square.
Using the Pythagoras rule
Height of triangle =
Area of one triangle = 1/2×10×12=60
Surface area of the pyramid = 100 + (4×60) = 340 square inches
