1/8 of 48 is 6, so Sarah cut 6 inches. 1/9 of 36 is 4, so Jane cut 4 inches. 6 is greater than 4, therefore, Sarah's piece is longer by 2 inches.

A small box of cereal contains 10 cups of cereal. A medium box of the same cereal contains 30% more cereal than the small box. H

mario62 [17]

Answer:

13 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If the small box has 10 cups, then:

<u> (small) </u> <u> 10 cups </u> = <u> 100% </u>

(medium) x cups = 130%

Now, cross multiply:

10 (130) = x (100)

1300 = 100x

x = 13

Another way to solve this is by turning 30% into a decimal:

30/100 = 0.3

10 (0.3) = 3

Now you have 30% of the 10 cups, but you need <u>30% more</u><em> </em>than the small box, so:

10 + 3 = 13 cups
