<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of cups of raisins will she need for four people is:

                     \dfrac{5}{8}\ cups

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Carrie couldn't find a recipe that would make four servings. She decided to use a recipe for eight servings and use only half as much of each ingredient.

i.e. she is using half  actual amount which is given for the 8 servings.

Now, it is given that:

The recipe for eight called for one and a fourth cups of raisins.

i.e. the cup of raisins used for eight servings is: 1\dfrac{1}{4}\ cups

i.e.

1\dfrac{1}{4}\ cups=\dfrac{1\times 4+1}{4}\cups\\\\i.e.\\\\1\dfrac{1}{4}\ cups=\dfrac{5}{4}\ cups

Hence, the number of cups of raisins she used for 4 people is:

               =\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{5}{4}\ cups\\\\\\=\dfrac{5}{8}\ cups

Which expression gives the solutions -5x+2x^2=-6x?(1pt)
irina [24]
This is the concept of algebra, the solution of the given expression will be given as follows;
-5x+2x²=-6x
adding 5x on both sides we get
5x-5x+2x²=-6x+5x
2x²=-x
divide both sides by 2
(2x²)/2=-x/2
x²=-x/2
divide both sides by x
(x²)/x=-x/(2x)
x=-1/2
the answer is x=-1/2

a tea company surveyed shoppers at two different malls. shoppers were asked whether they prefer sweetened or unsweetened tea. at
FromTheMoon [43]
First, let's create the ratios of sweetened to unsweetened. To do this, you would have to subtract the number of people that preferred unsweetened from the total.
Westside mall: 15:30 or \frac{15}{30}
Eastside mall: 13:26 or \frac{13}{26}

Now, you would divide to both ratios.
15 ÷ 30 = 0.5
13 ÷ 26 = 0.5 

They have the same sum, meaning, they are the same. 

Westside Mall shoppers are just as likely to prefer unsweetened tea as Eastside Mall shoppers. 

I hope this helps!

janice bought her mother a bunch of 10 flowers. two of the flowers are daisies. one half of the remaining flowers are tulips. wr
Paul [167]
2/10, or simplified as 1/5.
Since the part that are daisies is 2, and the total number of flowers is 10, the fraction is 2/10 or 1/5.
