Answer:

1 & 1/8 cup of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

A = half of 2 = (1/2)*2 = 1

B = half of 1/4 = (1/2)*(1/4) = (1*1)/(2*4) = 1/8

C = half of (2 & 1/4)

C = (half of 2) + (half of 1/4)

C = A+B

C = 1 + 1/8

C = 1 & 1/8 cups

----

An alternative is to first convert the mixed number 2 & 1/4 to an improper fraction using the formula below

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

2 & 1/4 = (2*4+1)/4

2 & 1/4 = 9/4

Then multiply this by 1/2

(9/4)*(1/2) = 9/8

And convert back to a mixed number

9/8 = (8+1)/8

9/8 = 8/8 + 1/8

9/8 = 1 + 1/8

9/8 = 1 & 1/8

we get the same answer either way

Answer:

4.5 or 1 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 is a full box to back 1/2 of the flour you need to divide 2 1/4 in half

Half of 2 is 1 & half of 1/4 is 1/8

Jordan places two boards end to end to make one shelf. The first board is 47-100 meter long.The second board is 5-10 meter long.
puteri [66]
The fraction 5/10 is the same as 50/100 because they are equivalent. It will take 10 group of 10 to get to the denominator 100, so it will take 10 groups of 5 in the numerator to make it equal.

The answer is 50/100.

5. Please write the equation of a line in y=mx+b format. Find the SLOPE first then find the Y-INTERCEPT (b) Your answer​
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

y = \frac{5}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line is,

y = mx + b

Here m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Slope of a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the graph attached,

Since, the given line passes through (0, -1) and (3, 4),

Slope 'm' = \frac{4+1}{3-0}

m = \frac{5}{3}

y - intercept 'b' = -1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = \frac{5}{3}x-1
