She would have 10 blocks of butter each weighing .20 pounds
Write and solve an equation of ratios to answer this.
2.25 cup x
-------------- = -------------
0.375 cup 1 cup
2.25
cross-multiplying, 2.25 = 0.375x. Solving for x, x = ---------- = 6
0.375
Brianna would need to use 6 cups of flour if she wants the mixture to contain 1 cup of baking soda.
If this is an equilateral triangle, we need half of it to find the height which is a leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 15. That means that the base of this half triangle is 7.5. Use Pythagorean's Theorem to fine the height.
. x = 12.99 or 13
A product is the result of multiplication.
A quotient is the result of division.
So you're trying to find the quotient of a number (x) and 5 that equals 8.
Try plugging in the answers.
x/5=8
A. x=4
4/5=8 (Incorrect, 4 divided by 5 is 0.8)
B. x=8
8/5=8 (Incorrect, 8 divided by 5 is 1.6)
C. x=40
40/5=8 (Correct, 40 divided by 5 is 8)
D. x=80
80/5=8 (Incorrect, 80 divided by 5 is 16)
So your answer is C. 40
The quotient of 40 and 5 is 8.
