Answer:

8.714

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 61 centimeters by the 7 people getting the liquorice to get 8.7142857143.

From here you can round.

I rounded to the thousandths place but you can also round it up to 8.71 or 8.7 or any other digit if it suits your answer.

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for 'x', isolate it. This means to keep 'x' on one side of the equal sign, while moving the other numbers to the other side. The numbers on the other side will tell you what 'x' equals to.

When 'moving' a number to the other side, you cancel it out where it originally is by doing reverse operations. (Reverse operation pairs are addition/subtraction and division/multiplication). To keep an equation balanced, what you do to one side you have to do to the other.

$\frac{3}{8}x-17=10$ Keep 'x' on the left and move everything over.

$\frac{3}{8}x-17+17=10+17$ Add 17 to both sides. "-17" cancels out on the left.

$\frac{3}{8}x=27$ Simplified right side

$\frac{3}{8}x/\frac{3}{8}=27/\frac{3}{8}$ Because 3/8 originally multiplies with 'x', do the reverse: divide both sides by 3/8.

$x=27/\frac{3}{8}$ To divide a fraction, change to multiplication and flip the fraction's top and bottom numbers.

$x=27*\frac{8}{3}$ Combine the factors into one fraction.

$x=\frac{27*8}{3}$ Multiply 27 by 8 in the numerator.

$x=\frac{216}{3}$ Simplify the fraction by dividing top by bottom.

$x=72$ Final answer, solved for 'x'

Ben is baking a cake. His recipe calls for 3/4 cups of sugar and 1/3 teaspoons of butter. How much sugar does Ben need per teasp

Alika [10]

Answer:

Improper fraction is 9/4 cups, Mixed number is 2 1/4 cups

9/4 cups of sugar or 2 1/4 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

36 tsp are in 3/4 of a cup

so you have 1/3 : 36

1/3 is less than a whole teaspoon, so the amount of sugar would be greater than 3/4 cups

1/4 cups of sugar: 1 tsp of butter; or 108 teaspoons of sugar: 1 teaspoon of butter

Hope this helps!
