Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by figuring out how much 1 cup of oil costs.

12 cups of oil is 36$

Let's set up a proportion.

12/36=1/x

Cross Multiply

12x=36

Divide both sides by 12.

x=3

1 cup of oil is $3.

Dinesh makes 5 batches of hummus, and each batch requires 1 cup of oil.

5*1=5

This means he needs 5 cups of oil.

5*3=15

He used $15 worth of oil in the 5 batches of his recipe.

However, since it is impossible to buy 5/12 bottles of oil, he would have needed to spend $36.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

n = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it easiest to work problems of this kind using a graphing calculator. That way, extraneous solutions can be avoided. It seems to work well to rewrite the problem, so you're looking for a value of n that makes the result zero. Here, that would mean you want ...

... f(n) = √(n+5) -√(n-10) -1

_____

The solution by hand involves eliminating the root symbols. You do that by squaring the equation:

... n +5 -2√((n+5)(n-10)) + n -10 = 1

Now, we isolate the remaining root and square again.

... 2n -6 = 2√((n+5)(n-10)) . . . collect terms, add 2√( ) -1

... n -3 = √(n²-5n-50) . . . . . . . divide by 2

... n² -6n +9 = n² -5n -50 . . . . square both sides

... 59 = n . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 50 +6n -n²

What is the answer for 2 5/7 - 7/8
enot [183]
Change the mixed leading number into an improper fraction...a b/c=(ac+b)/c

19/7-7/8  the least common multiple of the denominators is 56 so:

(19/7)(8/8)-(7/8)(7/7)

(152-49)/56

103/56  now we can change back into a mixed number...

(56+47)/56

1 47/56
