For this case we convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:3 \frac {1} {4} = \frac {4 * 3 + 1} {4} = \frac {12 + 1} {4} = \frac {13} {4}\\2 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 2 + 1} {2} = \frac {4 + 1} {2} = \frac {5} {2}

Now, we propose a rule of three:

\frac {13} {4}pounds of blueberries ------------->\frac {5} {2}cups of muffin mix

7 pounds of blueberries -----------------------------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the number of cups of muffin mix that Honey should use.

x = \frac {7 * \frac {5} {2}} {\frac {13} {4}}\\x = \frac {\frac {35} {2}} {\frac {13} {4}}\\x = \frac {35 * 4} {2 * 13}\\x = \frac {140} {26}\\x = \frac {70} {13}\\x = 5.38

So approximately Honey should use 5 \frac {5} {13} cups of muffin mix

Answer:

Approximately Honey should use 5 \frac {5} {13} cups of muffin mix

If C(5,-5) and D(7,3), then what is the length of CD?​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

≈ 6.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = C(5, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(7, 3)

d = √ (7 - 5)² + (3 + 5)²

  = √ 2² + 8² = √ 4 + 64 = √68 ≈ 6.16 ( to 2 dec. places )
