A recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe but she has only 1 1/4 cups of butter

Mathematics

The recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe.

Therefore, if Angie is tripling the recipe, she is multiplying all of the ingredients in the recipe by 3.

So for the butter, this would be:

5/8 * 3 = 15/8 

Next, we should turn this improper fraction into a mixed number so that we can compare it to the amount of butter that Angie has.

15/8 = 1 7/8 

1 7/8 > 1 1/4

Thus, Angie DOES NOT have enough butter to triple the recipe.

Are the triangles similar? If so, state the similarity and the postulate or theorem that justifies your answer.
malfutka [58]

The triangles are similar by SAS principle.

<h3>How to know similar triangles?</h3>

Similar triangles have the same shape but may have different sizes.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

The corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, using SAS ratio,

6 / 8 = 8 × 3 / 32

6 / 8  = 24 / 32 = 3 / 4

Therefore, the corresponding sides are a ratio of each other.

Therefore, the triangles are similar by SAS principles because the two triangles have two pairs of sides in the same ratio and the included angles are also equal

There are two numbers. The first number is 4/9 of the second number. If the difference between the two numbers is 375, find the
erica [24]
X and y
x=4/9 times y

y is bigger so
y-x=375
x=4/9y
y-4/9y=375
5/9y=375
times both sides by 9/5
y=675

the 2nd number is 675

What would be the equation and how can I solve it
Blababa [14]
If alonzo is x then the equation is

x + (x +3) + 2(x + 3) = 57

Which equals

x + x + 3 + 2x + 6 = 57
4x + 9 = 57
4x = 48
x = 12

This means alonzo is 12 years old and alexis is 3 years older so alexis is 15 years old

Answer = 15 years old
