Answer:

\frac{7}{8} cups of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Adrian's recipe for cranberry relish calls for 1\frac{3}{4} cups of sugar. He wants to use 1/2 that amount.

First of all let us convert our given mixed fraction into improper fraction.

1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1\cdot3+4}{4}=\frac{3+4}{4}=\frac{7}{4}

Since Adrian wants to use half of the sugar, so we need to divide \frac{7}{4} by 2 to find the amount of sugar he should use.

\text{Amount of sugar that Adrian should use}=\frac{7}{\frac{4}{2}}

\text{Amount of sugar that Adrian should use}=\frac{7*1}{4*2}

\text{Amount of sugar that Adrian should use}=\frac{7}{8}

Therefore, Adrian should use \frac{7}{8} cups of sugar.

In order to overlook someone's faults, it takes love and an understanding that you are not perfect.
When you love someone, you tend not to see that person's flaws, or even if you do see them, you believe those flaws are negligible. Once you understand that you yourself are not perfect (as any other human being), it will be easier for you to overlook someone else's faults.

An area of 18 square feet that is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. A rug covered 1/3 square foot tiles. How many tiles will the rug
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The number of tiles the rug will cover is 54 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have,

Total area covered by the rug = 18 ft²

Size of one tile = 1/3 ft²

Therefore the number of tiles that can fit into the the area is given by;

Total area of the rug ÷ Area of one tile

= 18 ft² ÷ 1/3 ft²

Here we note that we are dividing a number by a fraction which is the same as multiplying the number by the inverse of the fraction as follows

= 18 × 3/1 ft²/ft² = 54 tiles

The number of tiles the rug will cover = 54 tiles.

How would you solve 3/4 over 1/2 as a ratio
miskamm [114]

Answer:

  3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A couple of different methods are used for dividing fractions.

1. "Invert and multiply". Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

  (3/4) / (1/2) = (3/4) × (2/1)

  = (3·2)/(4·1) = 6/4 = 3/2

__

2. Make the denominators the same and use the ratio of numerators.

  (3/4) / (1/2) = (3/4) / (2/4) = 3/2

_____

For these fractions, you can recognize that 3/4 is 1/4 more than 1/2, and that 1/4 is half of 1/2. That means 3/4 is half-again as much as 1/2, so is 1 1/2 = 3/2 times 1/2. This tells you the ratio (3/4) : (1/2) = 3/2.

__

Along the lines of the above, you can write the ratio as ...

  (3/4) : (1/2)

and multiply by 4 to get

  = (3/4)×4 : (1/2)×4 = 3 : 2

The point P(7, −4) lies on the curve y = 4/(6 − x). (a) If Q is the point (x, 4/(6 − x)), use your calculator to find the slope
Luda [366]
Hopefully you have a Ti-84 calculator because that's what I'm going to use.

First, input the equation on the "y =" button and graph the equation.

Then, hit "2nd, trace", or "calc". Choose the 6th option, "dy/dx". This gives you the derivative, or slope of the secant line, at any given x value.

If you just start typing numbers and hit enter, it'll find the derivative, so for part a letters i-viii, just input those numbers and press enter.

From the looks of it, the slope approaches 4 (as you from the x-values in i-iv and v-viii, the slopes approach 4). You can also check this by just inputting the x-value 7 in dy/dx or taking the derivative of the equation and plugging in 7. Hope this helps!! If you liked this answer please rate it as brainliest!!!
