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.

Which explains whether or not the function represents a direct variation?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The function represents a direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a linear direct variation the line passes through the origin and the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m

Let

A(0,0) ------> the line passes through the origin

B(2,10)

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

y/x=k-----> k=10/2=5

C(4,20)

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

y/x=k-----> k=20/4=5

D(6,30)

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

y/x=k-----> k=30/6=5

E(8,40)

Find the value of k------> substitute the value of x and y

y/x=k-----> k=40/8=5

The value of k is equal in all the points of the table and the line passes through the origin

therefore

The function represents a direct variation

the equation of the direct variation is equal to

f(x)=5x

Rashid [163]
Volume = (Area of the base)x(Height)
66.85 = 15(H)
66.85/15 = H
H = 4.4567

The height is 4.4567mm.

-1/7(14+28p)-13=4(1/2p-3)-6p
Julli [10]

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>-1/7</u>(14+28p)-13=<u>4</u>(1/2p-3)-6p

-2-4p-13=2p-12-6p

rearrange the question so like terms are next to each other

<u>-2-13</u>-4p=<u>2p-6p</u>-12

-15-4p=-4p-12

add 12 to both sides

-3-4p=-4p

add 4p to both sides

-3=0

No solution
