Answer: 500 pieces of wheat
Explanation:
First: set up the proportion
Cookies:wheat = 8:2
Simplify = 4:1
We need to find how much wheat he needs for 2,000 cookies.
We need to assign a variable for wheat
Wheat = W
If Josh needs to make 2,000 cookies he would need W amount of wheat
Original proportion = 4:1
For 2,000 cookies = 2,000:W
To get from 4 to 2,000
2,000/4 = 500
So W/1 = 500
Isolate the variable:
w/1 (1) = 500/1
W = 500
Answer: There are 16 million different phone numbers possible.
First, let's find the number of possible phone numbers without the area code. There are 7 numbers in a phone number. There are 10 digits for each position. However, the first one can't be 1 or 0, so there are only 8 options.
Multiply the possibilities to find the total number.
8 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 8,000,000
Since, there are 2 different area codes, just multiply 8 million by 2 to get 16 million.
Add all three expressions up and set them equal to 180 degrees, because there are 180 degrees in a triangle.
Missy was baking a cake. She read the recipe, and it said she needed seven cups of flour. When she went back, she realized she needed to add two more. How many cups does she have now?
