Answer:

She will use the ratio shortening to flour as 4 : 15

Step-by-step explanation:

When Mrs. Stewart makes pie dough, she uses \dfrac{2}{3} cups of shortening for every 2\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5}{2} cups of flour.

So, for each \dfrac{2}{3} cup of shortening she uses \dfrac{5}{2} cups of flour.

Then, the ratio of shortening to flour in the mixture of pie dough will be  

\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3} }{\dfrac{5}{2} } = \dfrac{4}{15} i.e. 4 : 15.

Therefore, she will use the ratio shortening to flour as 4 : 15 to find the amount of flour she needs when she uses 5 cups of shortening. (Answer)

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of sugar in 60 gram cereal = 1/4

1/4 parts means that if 60 gram sugar is divided into four parts then out of that one part is sugar.

Amount of sugar in cereal in grams = 1/4 of 60 gram

Amount of sugar in cereal in grams = 1/4 * 60 gram = 15 grams.

Therefore, 15 grams sugar is in a 60 gram serving converted.

aev [14]
This question is incomplete. Harlem sells 500 square feet at $750
cost per square foot = 500/750 = $1.50 
10% of $1.50 is 0.15
cost per square foot - 10% discount = $1.50 - $0.15 = $1.35
Therefore, Guillens cost for 700 square foot is $1.35 * 700 = $945
