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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

The answer would be B. You would need to keep the first fraction, change to multiplication, and flip the second fraction and multiply across.

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are known, the equation of a circle can be found. First, find

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The equation of the circle is $(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 = 17$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are known, the equation of a circle can be found. First, find the midpoint of the diameter, which is the center of the circle. Then find the radius, which is the distance from the center to either endpoint of the diameter. Finally use the center-radius form to find the equation.

Find the center-radius form of the circle having the points (1,4) and (-7,6) as the endpoints of a diameter.

Consider that, if both points are the endpoints of a diameter, the center of the circle is the point that is exactly in the middle of the two points (that is, the point whose distance to each point is equal). Given points (a,b) and (c,d), by using the distance formula, you can check that the middle point is the average of the coordinates. Hence, the center of the circle is given by

$(\frac{1-7}{2}, \frac{4+6}{2}) = (-3,5)$ .

We will find the radius. Recall that the radius of the circle is the distance from one point of the circle to the center. Recall that the distance between points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by $\sqrt[]{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}$ . So, let us use (1,4) to calculate the radius.
