kieth has 8 1/2 cups of flour. he uses 5 2/3 cups to make muffins. how many cups of flour does keith have left?

Hi there!

First, we need to make the denominators of the fractions the same. This can be done by multiplying 1/2 by 3/3 and 2/3 by 2/2. This gives us the fraction 3/6 and 4/6. We can subtract 4/6 from 3/6 to get -1/6, which will need to be taken out of the fraction later. Lastly, we will subtract 8-5 to get 3, of which we also need to subtract 1/6 from that. Therefore, Keith has 2 5/6 cups of flour left.

Hope this helps!! :)

Write 11•47 using the distributive property. Then simplify.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Distributive property :

a (b+c) = ab + bc

Try writing 47 = 50-3 or 47 = 40+7.

11 x 47 = 11 x (50-3) = 11 x 50 - 11 x 3 = 550 - 33 = 517

or

11 x 47 = 11 x (40+7) = 11 x 40 + 11 x 7 = 440 + 77 = 517

The given equation is a Quadratic equation, so it's graph must be a parabola, and the Coefficient of x² is positive that means the parabola must have an opening upward.

And 2 is added to the ideal equation, so the parabola must have shift 2 units up from x - axis.

From the above information, we can easily conclude that the Correct representation is done in graph 4
