You would need about 34 2/3 tablespoons of butter. Convert the fraction into an improper fraction, so 8/3. Then multiply that by 13 (you and your brother are included in the 15 people I suppose) and you get 104/3. Simplify that to get a mixed number and you have 34 2/3.
Answer:
Step 1
Write and solve the inequality:
2,500 + 40a ≥ 4,000, or 40a ≥ 1,500
a ≥ 37.5
Step 2
If the shelter places 30 cats and 10 dogs,
or 40 animals, that will be enough to meet
its goal, because a = 40 is a solution to the
inequality a ≥ 37.5.
Answer:
144 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale of map B is (3.4 cm)/(6.8 cm) = 1/2 that of map A. Then the distance (d) between the cities is ...
(1.8 cm)/d = (1/2)·(1 cm)/(40 mi)
Multiplying by d·80 mi, we get ...
144 mi·cm = d cm
Dividing by cm, we have ...
144 mi = d
The distance from Gladville to Columbus is 144 miles.
