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.

The value of the digit 5 in the ten millions place would be 50,000,000, where the digit 5 in the hundreds place would be 500. Therefore, that would be 5x as much.   (I was having a hard time understanding, please reply and make it more clear, thanks and have a good day! =D)

You start driving north for 6 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 19 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straig
Anton [14]

Answer:

Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.

If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.

                    19 miles

           l_______________

6 milesl

           l

You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 19^2 = c^2

36 + 361 = c

397 = c

\sqrt{397} = 19.924859

Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is

19.9 miles
