Answer:

<em>The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fraction of Portion</u>

Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.

For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.

Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:

\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}}

The division can be easier performed by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{4}{3}=\frac{1*4}{3*3}

\displaystyle =\frac{4}{9}

The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9

3x+y=7<br> 6x+4y=22<br> can somebody help me solve this problem?
swat32
Hey there!

\boxed{x=1;y=4}

3x + y = 7 \\ \\ &#10;    6x + 4y = 22

y = -3x + 7 \\ \\ Plug \ this \ in \ for \ variable \ (y) \ in \ equation \ \\ \\ &#10;&#10;       6x + 4*(-3x+7) = 22 \\ \\ &#10;       -6x = -6 \\ \\ 6x=6 \ x+1 \\ \\ x=1 \ y=-3x+7 \\ \\ \boxed{y=-3(1)+7=4} \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{x=1;y=4}}

I hope this helps you!
