Hello!

To find how much batches of cookies the factory made, we need to divide the total number of bags of flour used by how many bags of flour are needed for one batch of cookies.

Before dividing, we need to convert the complex fraction into an improper fraction.

1 1/5 → 5 × 1 + 1 = 6/5

7 1/5 → 5 × 7 + 1 = 36/5

For every batch of cookies, the factory uses 6/5 bags of flour. Yesterday, the factory used 36/5 bags of flour.

Remember when dividing by a fraction, it is like multiplying its reciprocal. This means that the second fraction is flipped, then which it can be multiplied together.

\frac{36}{5} / \frac{6}{5} → \frac{36}{5} * \frac{5}{6} = \frac{180}{30} = 6

Therefore, the cookie factory made 6 batches of cookies yesterday.

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Graph #1

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare your

y - 1 = (2/3)(x - 3) to

y - k = m(x - h).  We see that k = 1 and h = 3.

Thus, (1, 3) is a point on the graph.  This matches Graph #1.  

Note: Graph #1 and Graph #3 appear to be the same.  Why?

a polygon has an area of 225 square meters. A similar polygon is created with an area that is triple the first. By what factor i
GuDViN [60]
The area of the original polygon is:
 A = 225 m ^ 2
 The similar polygon area is:
 A '= (k ^ 2) * (A)
 Substituting values:
 3 * 225 = (k ^ 2) * (225)
 Clearing k we have:
 k ^ 2 = 3
 k = (3) ^ (1/3)
 Answer:
 
The length of each side increased by:
 
k = (3) ^ (1/3)
