Answer:
4 3/8 cups of baking soda
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 cups of baking soda are needed to make 1 batch of a homemade cleaning product,
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch
How many total cups of baking soda I needed to make 2 1/2 batches of the cleaning product?
Let x = total cups of baking soda needed
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
x cups : 2 1/2 batches
Equate the ratios
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch = x cups : 2 1/2 batches
7/4 ÷ 1 = x ÷ 5/2
7/4 × 1/1 = x * 2/5
7/4 = 2/5x
Divide both sides by 2/5
x = 7/4 ÷ 2/5
= 7/4 × 5/2
Cross product
x = 35/8
= 4 3/8 cups of baking soda

Answer:
.66
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 times 18= 13.5
31.5-13.5=18
It cost 18 dollars for the skirt with a discount.
It cost 13.5 for the blouse as opposed to the original price of 18 dollars.
18(skirt)+13.5(blouse)=31.5
If you set up a proportion to find the original price of the skirt you will get the answer.
18/x=75/100
75x=18 times 100
75x=1800
75x/75=1800/75
x=24
The original price of the skirt is 24 dollars.
Start with adding the feet: 6+4+5=15
then add the inches: 5+6+7=18
18 inches= 1 foot and 6 inches
So its 16 feet and 6 inches
