Answer:

I got 8, but I'm not sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

So I first did -6 + 5, and I got -1 as an answer. Then I did -1 plus 9 because both sides need to be equal. I wrote that x = 8 but that wasn't an option. I'm not sure if this was helpful and I'm really sorry if it's not.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

if I'm not mistaking (please correct if I'm wrong) but I think he would have 16 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide one-fifth of 30 which would get you 6, then divide one-third of 24 ( because 30 - 6 is 24) then total both fractions to get 14. then finally subtract 14 from 30 to get 16.

Amelie is making a recipe that uses 1 3/4 cups flour. She is making 2 1/2 times the original recipe.

elixir [45]

Answer:

She would need $4\frac{3}{8}$ flour to make $2\frac{1}{2}$ times the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make 1 recipe Amelia uses = $1 \frac{3}{4}\ cups$ of flour.

So, to make $2\frac{1}{2}$ times the recipe she would need = $1 \frac{3}{4}\times 2\frac{1}{2}$ .

We evaluate the above mixed numbers by converting them to fraction(by multiplying denominator with whole number and adding to numerator and write as fraction of same denominator.).

$=\frac{7}{4}\times \frac{5}{2}$

$=\frac{35}{8}$

Then converting back to mixed number (by dividing the numerator by denominator and writing the quotient as the whole number and the remainder as fraction with same denominator.

$\frac{35}{8}=4\frac{3}{8}$

So, she would need $4\frac{3}{8}$ flour to make $2\frac{1}{2}$ times the recipe.
