Answer:

5 7/10 cups of raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the total volume made equals the sum of the volumes of the individual ingredients.

He uses 2 cups of raisins and makes 7 cups of trail mix. That mean the amount of other ingredients is 7 cups - 2 cups = 5 cups.

He uses 2 cups raisins and 5 cups of other ingredients.

When he uses 14 1/4 cups of other ingredients instead of only 5 cups, he is multiplying the recipe to make it bigger.

Now we calculate how many times he is multiplying the recipe by.

14 1/4 divided by 5 = (14 1/4)/5 = (57/4)/5 = 57/4 * 1/5 = 57/20

He is making 57/20 times the original recipe.

Since he is making 57/20 times the recipe, he needs 57/20 times 2 cups of raisins.

Now we calculate what 57/20 times 2 cups of raisins is.

57/20 * 2 = (57 * 2)/10 = (57 * 2)/(10 * 2) = 57/10 = 5 7/10

Answer: 5 7/10 cups of raisins

The measure of an angle is seventy-one times the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
steposvetlana [31]

Let the smallest angle = x

Then the larger one = 71x

Supplementary angles are always equal to 180o

x + 71x = 180o Add the left side

72x = 180 Divide by 72

x = 180/72

x = 2.5

The smallest angle = 2.5 degrees

The largest angle = 2.5 * 71

The largest angle= 177.5 degrees.

Geometry help. Inscribing circle help and constructing lines.
prohojiy [21]
<h3>1. Inscribe a circle ΔJKL. Identify the point of concurrency that is the center of the circle you drew. </h3>

To inscribe a circle in the attached triangle, we must follow the following steps. The resultant figure is the first one below.

1. Draw the angle bisector of angle JKL. The straight line in the green one.

2. Draw the angle bisector of angle KLJ. The straight line in the blue one.

3. Draw point D at these two lines.

4. Draw a line through point D perpendicular to side JK. The straight line in the red one.

5. Mark point G at the red line and side JK.

6. Draw a circle with center at D (point of concurrency) and a radius of DG.


<h3>2. Circumscribe a circle ΔFGH. Identify the point of concurrency that is the center of the circle you drew. </h3>

To circumscribe a circle in the attached triangle, we must follow the following steps:

1. Draw the perpendicular bisector of the side FG. The straight line in the red one. The resultant figure is the second one below.

2. Draw the perpendicular bisector of the side GH. The straight line in the blue one.

3. The center of the circle is the intersection of these two lines

4. Draw a circle with center at D (point of concurrency).

<h3>3. Construct the two lines tangents to circle</h3>

A tangent to a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at an only point. If a point A is outside a circle, we can draw two lines that pass through this point and are tangent to the circle at two different points each. So this is shown in the third figure. Lines red and blue are tangent to the circle at two different points.
