Answer:

2 2/3 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

The question records that Emeril used a total of 7 1/4 cups of flour for three pastries.

For the first pastry, he used 2 1/4 cups of flour

For the second pastry, he used 2 1/3 cups of flour

To get how much of flour be used for the third, we add the amount he used for the first and second together and subtract that sum from the total cups of flour.

That is, 2 1/4 + 2 1/3

To add this mixed fractions, we add the whole number part first to get: 4 1/4 + 1/3

We then find the L.C.M of 4 and 3 (denominators), which is 12 and solve to get 4 7/12.

4 7/12 is the sum of the two pastries, we then subtract it from 7 1/4 i.e. 7 1/4 - 4 7/12 = 2 8/12

2 8/12 can be broken down to its simplest form which is 2 2/3.

Hence, the amount of flour used for the third pastry by Emeril is 2 2/3 cups

2 1/3 + 2 1/4 
   = 4 7/12 
7 1/4 - 4 7/12
     =2 2/3

Which sentence correctly compares the number of 1 4 4 1 ​ -pound and 1 2 2 1 ​ -pound packages that the deli can slice from a 12
frutty [35]

The statements aren't given; however the number of 1/2 and 1/4 - pound package have been calculated below.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A 12 pound block :

Number of 1/2 pound packages that can be obtained :

12 ÷ 1/2 ;

12 * 2/1 = 24 (1/2 - Pound package) can be obtained.

Number of 1/4 pound package that can be obtained :

12 ÷ 1/4

12 * 4 /1 = 48 (1/4 - Pound package) can be obtained

We can obtain twice the number of 1/2 - pound package by using the 1/4 - pound slicing.

a square has a side length of x. A rectangle has a length that is 4 inches longer than the square and a width that is 2 inches s
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle is = 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Area of square = Area of the rectangle

According to the question:

Length of the square be 'x'.

Its area = (Side)*(Side) =x^2   ...equation (i)

Length of the rectangle = (x+4)

Width of the rectangle = (x-2)

Area of the rectangle =Length * Width

⇒(x+4)(x-2)=x^2-2x+4x-8

⇒x^2+2x-8          ...equation  (ii)

Equating both the equation as area of both the figure are equal.

⇒ x^2+2x-8=x^2

⇒ 2x-8=0     ...subtracting x^2 both sides

⇒ 2x=8           ...dividing both sides with 2

⇒ x=\frac{8}{2}=4 inches

Plugging the value of x=4 in the length of the rectangle.

We have,

⇒(x+4)=(4+4)=8

So the length of the rectangle = 8 inches.
