Answer:
100/3 or 33.34 miles a gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the number of miles by gallons of gas to get the number of miles traveled on one gallon of gas.
Recipe is for 24 pieces, and required quantity is 16.
So the ratio is 16/24 = 2/3 means we need to reduce all ingredients to 2/3 of the given quantities. Not all recipes can be reduced prorata, but we will assume it can be done. A word of caution: the measurement of quantities will become awkward (like 3/8 of a teaspoon of salt, etc). The practical way is to make the full recipe, and invite friends to take home the remainder.
Here's the scaled recipe
Butter 1cup*3/4 = 3/4 cup
unsweetened chocolate = 4*3/4 = 3 squares
white sugar = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
eggs = 4 * 3/4 = 3 eggs
A.P. flour = 1 cup * 3/4 = 3/4 cups
vanilla extract = 1 * 3/4 = 3/4 teaspoons
salt = 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8 teaspoons
chopped walnuts = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
For this reason, there is a trend to use weights (in grams) than volumes to make scaling recipes easier.
Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number by n.
Then:
8(n + 18) = 16
Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:
8n + 144 = 16
Subtracting 144 from both sides results in 8n = -128.
Dividing both sides by 8: n = -128/8 = -16
The number was -16.
