Answer:

Word problem: A recipe for making cookies use half cup of sugar for 1 cup of flour to make one pound of cookies. How many cups of sugar you need to make 3 pound of cookies.

As you can see to solve that problem you need to multiply the fraction 1/2, which is the number of cups needed to make 1 pound of cookies, times the number of pounds that you want to make.

So, for this problem you have to multiply 1/2 times 3.

My estimate is that the result is 1.5.

You can verify my estimate by multiplying:


        1        3x1       3
3 x ----- =  ------ = ------ = 1.5
        2.       1x2       2

So, I have shown that my estimate was correct.

Antonio orders an iPhone case off of Amazon for $27. He has to pay an additional 3% for shipping and handling. How much will his
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

We conclude that total cost/bill will be: $27.81  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The cost of an iPhone case = $27

Additional expense = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

To determine

Total bill = ?

The expense amount can be calculated by multiplying the cost of an iPhone case by the additional expense

i.e.

Expense Amount = cost of an iPhone case × additional expense

                             = 27 × 0.03

                             = $0.81

The total cost is calculated by adding the expense amount and the original cost of an iPhone case.

i.e.

Total cost/bill = Expense Amount + cost of an iPhone case

                  = $0.81 + $27

                  = $27.81

Therefore, we conclude that total cost/bill will be: $27.81
