Answer:

The amount of flour Mrs.Stewart needs for 5 cups of shortening =\frac{75}{4} =18\tfrac{3}{4} cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs.Stewart pie dough needs  \frac{2}{3} cups of shortening for 2\tfrac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2} cups of flour.

Now we assume that the shortening needed for x cups of flour is y cups.

Accordingly we can arrange the ratios.

So for one cup of shortening how many cups of flour is needed we have to use the unitary method:

\frac{cups\ of flour\ (x)}{cups\ of\ shortening\ (y)} =\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5/2}{2/3}

Plugging the value of y=5 as it is number of cups of shortening Mrs.Stewart have used.

And multiplying both sides with 5.

Number of cups of flour needed when 5 cups of shortenings are used (x) =\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5/2}{2/3}.

So, (x)=\frac{5\times 3\times 5}{2\times 2} =\frac{75}{4} = 18\tfrac{3}{4}

The amount of floor Mrs.Stewart needed for 5 cups of shortening = 18\tfrac{3}{4}\ cups of floor.

Find the square root of the cube of 10.3
abruzzese [7]
Taking a sqrt=taking a 1/2 power, so when you take a power of a power, you multiply them. So you’re finding 10.3^(3/2).
