<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D. 5.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following expression where 4 is to be divided by a fraction 1/5:

$4$ ÷ $\frac{1}{5}$

This can also be written as:

$\frac{4}{\frac{1}{5} }$

Now to find the quotient of this, we will take the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator to change it into multiplication.

$4 \times \frac{5}{1}$

Therefore, ignoring the 1 in denominator, we can simply multiply 4 by 5.

A recipe calls for 14cup of brown sugar for every 23cup of white sugar. How many cups of brown sugar are required for every cup

photoshop1234 [79]

Note: Consider all the numeric values are in the fraction form. Like $14\to \dfrac{1}{4}$ , $23\to \dfrac{2}{3}$ etc.

Given:

A recipe calls for $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cup of brown sugar for every $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cup of white sugar.

To find:

The number of cups of brown sugar that are required for every cup of white sugar.

Solution:

We know that,

Required brown sugar for $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cup of white sugar = $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cup

Using this, we get

Required brown sugar for 1 cup of white sugar = $\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}$ cup

$=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{3}{2}$ cup

$=\dfrac{3}{8}$ cup

So, $\dfrac{3}{8}$ cup of brown sugar is required for every cup of white sugar.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Must m, in the equation y=mx+b=, always be a positive number?

Nadya [2.5K]

Of course not.

If the line rises higher as it goes from left to right,
then its slope ( 'm' ) is positive.

If it sinks lower as it goes from left to right,
then its slope ( 'm' ) is negative.

If the perimeter of a square is 68 feet, find the approximate length of its diagonal.A. 17 feet B. 24 feet C. 38 feet D.

Elanso [62]

Find the side length:

Side = 68/4 = 17

Now use Pythagorean theorem:

Diagonal = sqrt(17^2 + 17^2)

Diagonal = sqrt(289 + 289)

Diagonal = sqrt(578)

Diagonal = 24 feet

The answer is B. 24 feet
