Answer:
2 parts white paint
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue : white
3 : 1
We use 6 parts blue
3 *2 =6
So multiply each part by 2
Blue : white
3*2 : 1*2
6 : 2
She uses 2 parts white paint
Answer:
She can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.
Step-by-step explanation:
Some data of this problem is missing, the data missing is:
Her recipe calls for 3/4 of a pint of milk and she only has 5/8 of a pint of milk.
Now, to know what's the portion she can do with that amount we need to divide the amount of milk she has by the total amount she needs:
÷
When we divide we turn the second fraction upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and viceversa) and multiply, thus:
÷
×
If we simplify this last expression we have:

Thus, she can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.
<em>Note: In case the data missing is different, you can apply this same procedure with the fractions you have. </em>

Expanding the left side gives

which gives two solutions,

and

. But if

, then

, but this number isn't real, so

is an extraneous solution. Meanwhile if

, you get

, so this solution is correct.
"Potential solutions" might refer to both possibilities, but there is only one actual (real) solution.
Answer:
62.8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Radius of the fencing is:
6+4 = 10 feet
Circumference = 2×pi×r
= 2×pi×10
= 20pi
= 62.83185307 feet
20% of 60 is 12
60/300 = 20%
The friend is incorrect because that is 20% of 300 not 60
