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.

When a number is decreased by 25%, the result is 22. What is the original number to the nearest tenth?
Ilya [14]

The decrease is 25% so this means that 22 is 75% of the original number (100% - 25% = 75%)

Divide 22 by 75%:

22/ 0.75 = 29.3

The answer is 29.3

What is the sum of ? <br><br>I will put a pic if the answer is correct ill mark brainlist

\text{The sum of } 1\frac{7}{10}  \text{ and } 3\frac{3}{5} \text{ is } 5\frac{3}{10}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the sum of 1\frac{7}{10} \text{ and } 3\frac{3}{5}

<em><u>Let us first convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions</u></em>

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

Therefore,

1\frac{7}{10} = \frac{10 \times 1 + 7}{10} = \frac{10+7}{10} = \frac{17}{10}\\\\3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 \times 3 + 3}{5} = \frac{18}{5}

Now we can add both the fractions

1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17}{10} + \frac{18}{5}

Make the denominators same

1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17}{10} + \frac{18 \times 2}{5 \times 2}\\\\1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17}{10} + \frac{36}{10}\\\\\text{Add the fractions since the denominator is same }\\\\1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17+36}{10} = \frac{53}{10}

Now convert the fraction to mixed number

When we divide 53 by 10 , the remainder is 3

Therefore, write 5 as a whole number and and 3 as numerator and 10 as denominator

\frac{53}{10} = 5\frac{3}{10}

Thus the sum of given mixed fraction is 5\frac{3}{10}
