Explain how scaling a mixed number by 1/2 will affect the size of a number

1 answer:

5 0

<span>If the mixed number is scaled by 1/2 then, the original number will be divided by 2. That being said, the number then becomes 50% of the original value. Hence, scaling the number by 1/2 will make the number only 50% of its original value. </span>

A recipe for nut bread calls for 2/4 cup of walnuts and 1/6 cup of pecans. What is

sashaice [31]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is answered below.

$\frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{6}$

Take the LCM of the denominators and simplify. The LCM is 12.

$\frac{6 + 2}{12}$

To get 6 + 2 above, we divide 12 by 4 which equals 3 then multiply 3 by 2, total 6. Similarly to get 2, we say 13 divided by 2, equals 2; 2 times 1 equals 2.

$= \frac{8}{12}$

The fraction above has to be simplified to reduced form. Thus the answer below.

$= \frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, the total amount of walnuts and pecans needed for the recipe is 2/3.

maksim [4K]

Mode is which number appears the most. Mean is adding up all the numbers and dividing by the amount of numbers. Median is the middle number of the ordered numbers from least to greatest. Look at the set. they are in order so median is off. Numbers appear more than once so mode is off. However, mean is not there. We don't have an average. (adding up the numbers and dividing by amount.) So the answer should be mean.

good luck!
