A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 5/8.

Let's start out by tripling the original recipe to see how much butter Angie needs.

\frac{3}{4} * 3 = total
\frac{3* 3}{4} = total
\frac{9}{4} = total
2 \frac{1}{4} = total

So we need 2 \frac{1}{4} cups of butter, but Angie only has 1 \frac{5}{8}. Let's subtract what Angie has from the total to see how much more she needs.

2 \frac{1}{4}  -  1\frac{5}{8} = n
\frac{9}{4} - \frac{13}{8} = n
we will need the least common denominator for both fractions
\frac{2}{2} *(\frac{9}{4}) - \frac{13}{8} = n
\frac{18}{8} - \frac{13}{8} = n
\frac{5}{8} = n

So Angie need \frac{5}{8} cups more of butter for the recipe.

1.Show that the statement p: “If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0, then x is 0” is true by
Genrish500 [490]

If x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 then x is 0”.Let q: x is a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 r: x is 0.i To show that statement p is true we assume that q is true and then show that r is true.Therefore let statement q be true.∴ x2 + 4x = 0 x x2 + 4 = 0⇒ x = 0 or x2+ 4 = 0However since x is real it is 0.Thus statement r is true.Therefore the given statement is true.ii To show statement p to be true by contradiction we assume that p is not true.Let x be a real number such that x3 + 4x = 0 and let x is not 0.Therefore x3 + 4x = 0 x x2+ 4 = 0 x = 0 or x2 + 4 = 0 x = 0 orx2 = – 4However x is real. Therefore x = 0 which is a contradiction since we have assumed that x is not 0.Thus the given statement p is true.iii To prove statement p to be true by contrapositive method we assume that r is false and prove that q must be false.Here r is false implies that it is required to consider the negation of statement r.This obtains the following statement.∼r: x is not 0.It can be seen that x2 + 4 will always be positive.x ≠ 0 implies that the product of any positive real number with x is not zero.Let us consider the product of x with x2 + 4.∴ x x2 + 4 ≠ 0⇒ x3 + 4x ≠ 0This shows that statement q is not true.Thus it has been proved that∼r ⇒∼qTherefore the given statement p is true.
