Answer:

124 teaspoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let spoons used this month be denoted by t

According to given condition:

155 - 20% of 155 = t

By simplifying

155 - 0.2(155) = t

155 - 31 = t

124 = t

so the oil used is 124 teaspoons.

i hope it will help you!

Students in a cooking class made 4 1/2 quarts of soup. They served 4/5 of the soup to friends. Each serving is 3/5 quart. Hector
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The correct number of servings = 6.

By saying there were 3\frac{3}{5} servings of soup, Hector must have intended to say that there were 3\frac{3}{5} quarts of soup for serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total quarts of soup made by students = 4\frac{1}{2}

Fraction of the soup served to  friends = \frac{4}{5}

Each serving = \frac{3}{5} quarts

Hector incorrectly says that that there were 3\frac{3}{5} servings of soup.

To find the correct number of servings and to identify Hector's mistake.

Solution:

Total quarts of soup made = 4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}

Fraction of total quarts served = \frac{4}{5}

Thus, total quarts of soup served = \frac{9}{2}\times \frac{4}{5}

⇒ \frac{18}{5}=3\frac{3}{5}

Thus, total quarts of soup for serving  =\frac{18}{5} or 3\frac{3}{5}

Each serving  = \frac{3}{5} quarts

Total number of servings can be given as:

⇒ \frac{Total\ quarts\ of\ serving}{Size\ of\ each\ serving}

⇒ \dfrac{\frac{18}{5}}{\frac{3}{5}}

To divide fractions, we take reciprocal of the divisor and replace divsion with multiplication.

⇒ \frac{18}{5}\times \frac{5}{3}

⇒ \frac{18}{3}

⇒ 6  servings

Thus, the correct number of servings = 6.

By saying there were 3\frac{3}{5} servings of soup, Hector must have intended to say that there were 3\frac{3}{5} quarts of soup for serving.

If a polyhedron has 5 faces and 7 vertices, then it must have how many edges? Please show step-by-step work
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

10 edges

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Euler's formula state that: In a polyhedron, the number of vertices, minus the number of edges, plus the number of faces, is equal to two

V - E + F = 2

in this problem  we have

V=7\\E=?\\F=5

substitute the given values

7 - E + 5 = 2

solve for E

Combine like terms in the left side

12 - E = 2

subtract 12 both sides

- E = -10

Multiply by -1 both sides

E =10
