Answer:
If Kristen were to make 4 batches, and each batch requires 2 cups of flour, how many cups of flour would she need? To solve this question, we would just multiply 4 by 2, which gives us a final product of 8.
Similarly, in this question, if one batch requires 1 3/4 cups of flour and Kristen wants to bake 3 1/2 batches, she would need 1 3/4 x 3 1/2 cups of flour.
1 3/4 can be rewritten as an improper fraction- 7/4.
3 1/2 can also be rewritten as an improper fraction- 7/2.
Multiplying 7/4 and 7/2, we obtain a final product of 49/8, or 6 1/8.
This means, Kristen will need 6 1/8 cups of flour to make 3 1/2 batches, and her belief that she needs 3 3/8 cups of flour is wrong, as she needs a lot more than that.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Part A
12 pieces
Part B
Tara can cut Twelve 2/5 foot pieces can be cut from 4 4/5 feet of rope.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: How many 2/5 foot pieces can Tara cut from the 4 4/5 feet of rope?
This is calculated as:
4 4/5 feet of rope ÷ 2/5 foot pieces
= 24/5 ÷ 2/5
= 24/5 × 5/2
= 12
Part B: Using the information in Part A, interpret the meaning of the quotient in terms of the two fractions given
The quotient in Part A is 12
Therefore, this can be interpreted as:
Tara can cut Twelve 2/5 foot pieces can be cut from 4 4/5 feet of rope.
Answer:
B. -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
replace <em>x</em> with 34 and solve it.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
25 = 6x - 5 (add 5 on both sides)
+5 +5
30 = 6x (divide by 6 on both sides)
5 = x
Hope this helps ya!!
Answer:
15 boys and 20 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Since we cant simplify 3:4 we will leave it just like that.
2. 3x+4x=35
3. We add them both to give us 7x=35
4. We divide by 7 to get x by itself which results in 35/7=5.
x=5
5. Now we found x we can create 2 seperate soulutions:
3(5)=
and 4(5)=
Therefore there are 15 boys and 20 girls in the class. This makes sense because 15/20 reduced is 3 over 4.
