Answer:

The answer to your question is 11 5/8 cups of flour and 6 3/7 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

The quantities are tripling

The original amount of flour = 3 7/8

The original amount of sugar = 2 1/7

Process

1.- Calculate the amount of flour

-Convert the mix fraction to improper fraction

            3 7/8 = (24 + 7)/8 = 31/8

-Multiply by three

           31/3 x 3 = 93/8

-Convert to mix fraction

                    11

                8 93            

                    13

                      5

- He needs 11 5/8 cups of flour

2.- Calculate the amount of sugar

-Convert to an improper fraction

               2 1/7 = (14 + 1) / 7 = 15/7

-Multiply by three

               15/7 x 3 = 45/7

-Convert to mix fraction

                    6

              7  45

                     3

-He needs 6 3/7 cups of sugar

Solve in one variable<br> 2/3x + 5 = 3/2x
Montano1993 [528]
First, we group together the terms with variables in one side by subtracting 3/2 x and 5 from both sides of the equation.
                   (2/3)x - (3/2)x + 5 - 5 = (3/2)x - (3/2)x - 5
                         (-5/6)x = -5
The value of x from the equation is 6.

Describe the transformations of how the graph y=x^2 can be transformed into y= -1/5 (x-4)^2 + 2
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Reflected over the x-axis, vertically shrunk by a factor of 1/5, moved right 4 units and up 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent Graph: f(x) = a(bx - h)² + k

<em>a </em>is vertical stretch (a > 1) or shrink (a < 1) and reflection over x-axis

<em>b</em> is horizontal stretch or shrink and reflection over y-axis

<em>h</em> is horizontal movement left (if positive) or right (if negative)

<em>k</em> is vertical movement up (if positive) or down (if negative)

Now that we have our rules, we simply apply it to y = -1/5(x - 4)² + 2

<em>a</em> = -1/5, so reflection over x-axis and vertical shrink of 1/5 (1/5 < 1)

Nothing has changed <em>b</em>, so no horizontal stretch/shrink

<em>h</em> = -4, so horizontal movement right 4 units

<em>k</em> = 2, so vertical movement up 2 units
