The recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75. How much would it cost to serve 24 people?

2 answers:

6 0

If the recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75, then for 24 people it will cost $x. You can write this statement as

6 people - $9.75,

24 people - $x.

Or as proportion,

$\dfrac{6}{24}=\dfrac{9.75}{x}.$

Find x:

$6\cdot x=9.75\cdot 24,\\ \\x=\dfrac{9.75\cdot 24}{6}=9.75\cdot 4=39.$

Answer: It would cost $39 to serve 24 people

Answer:

In the second ratio, the number of people is the denominator. It should be the numerator to match the first ratio.

Solve the equation: Sin2x - Sinx = 0

Viktor [21]

We know that sin2x=2sinxcosx
(search the net for proof if you wish)

So the original equation becomes

2sinxcosx-sinx=0
The two terms both have sinx that can be taken out to get:

sinx(2cosx-1)=0
This is true if sinx=0 or 2cosx-1=0 , rewritten: cosx=1/2

sinx=0 than x=2kπ
cosx=1/2 than x=π/3+2kπ
where k is an integer

In J, K is the midpoint. The coordinates of ) are (2, 2), and the coordinates of Kare (10, 11). What are the coordinates of L?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

L(18, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

In JL, K is the midpoint. The coordinates of J are (2, 2), and the

coordinates of K are (10, 11). What are the coordinates of L?

Solution:

If O(x, y) is the midpoint between two points A( $x_1,y_1$ ) and B( $x_2,y_2$ ). The equation to determine the location of O is given by:

$x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} \\\\y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Since JL is a line segment and K is the midpoint. Given the location of J as (2, 2) and K as (10, 11). Let ( $x_2,y_2$ ) be the coordinate of L. Therefore:

$10=\frac{2+x_2}{2} \\\\20=2+x_2\\\\x_2=18$
