Julie has 4/3 cups of flour.She needs 2/5 cups of flour.How will she get the amount.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to set up a ratio for the original recipe and then use that ratio for the new one.

 

If we need 3 cups of flour for every 4 cups of sugar, we have a 3 c flour/4 c sugar ratio, or 3/4

 

The new ratio is 9 c of flour for ? c of sugar. Those ratios have to be the same, so we set up an equation like this:

 

3/4 = 9/?

 

In order to keep the same ratio, you have to multiply by the same number. Since 3*3 = 9, multiply 4*3 to get your answer.

In a school of 910 pupils, 3/7 are boys and 2/5 of the boys wear glasses. how many boys wear glasses?
Wittaler [7]

The number of boys wear glasses are 156 boys.

In this question,

Total number of pupils in the school = 910

Ratio of boys = 3/7

Then, number of boys = 910 × 3/7

⇒ 130 × 3

⇒ 390

Ratio of boys wear glasses = 2/5

Then, number of boys wear glasses = 390 × 2/5

⇒ 78 × 2

⇒ 156

Hence we can conclude that the number of boys wear glasses are 156 boys.

Three numbers form a geometric progression. If the second term is increased by 2, the progression will become arithmetic and if,
Evgesh-ka [11]

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of geometric progression to find three specific numbers, in this way we can say that these numbers correspond to;

0.16\\ -0.64\\ 2.56

Then using the formula of the geometric progression we find that:

a_1*r = a_2\\a_2*r = a_3 = a_1*r^2

now, the differences between the terms must be the same:

a1*r + 2 - a_1 = a_3 - (a_1*r + 2) = a_1*r^2 - (a_1*r + 2)\\a_1*r^2 - 2*a_1*r + a_1 - 4 = 0

and now, when we increase the third term by 9,so we have:

(a_1*r^2 + 9)/(a_1*r + 2) = (a_1*r + 2)/a_1\\(a_1^2*r^2 + 9*a_1)/(a_1*r + 2) = a_1*r + 2\\a_1^2*r^2 + 9*a_1 = (a_1*r + 2)^2 = a_1^2*r^2 + 4*a_1*r + 4\\4*a_1*r - 9*a_1 + 4 = 0\\9*a - 4 = 4*a_1*r\\r = (9*a_1 - 4)/(4*a_1)

Now we use that identity in the first equation :

a_1*(9*a_1 - 4)^2/(4×a_1)^2 - 2*a_1*(9*a_1 - 4)/(4*a_1) + a_1 - 4 = 0\\(81*a_1^2 - 72*a_1 + 16)/(16*a_1) - (9*a_1 - 4)/2 + a_1 - 4 = 0\\81*a_1^2 - 72*a_1 + 16 - 8*a_1*(9*a_1 - 4) + 16*a_1^2 - 64*a_1 = 0\\25a_1^2 - 104a_1 + 16 = 0

The general solution for a quadratic equation is

(-b + \sqrt{(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)

We have that:

  • a = 25
  • b = -104
  • c = 16

so, put the numbers in the formula we find:

a_1=4 \\a_1=0.16
