A catering company’s recipe for salad uses a ratio of 2 cups of dressing to 12 cups of vegetables. (a) Mrs. Roberts simplified this ratio to 2:6. Explain/show how you know she is incorrect. Can you tell where she might have made a mistake while simplifying?

Solution:

So, A catering company’s recipe for salad uses a ratio of 2 cups of dressing to 12 cups of vegetables.

Ratio of dressing:vegetables=2:12.

Let us divide 2 and 12 by 2

Ratio of dressing: vegetables= \frac{2}{2} : \frac{12}{2}

So, finally we get ratio=1:6 and not 2:6. The mistake is in this step while simplifying.

So, Simplified Ratio of dressing:vegetables=1:6.

Round to the nearest thousandth 0.416
Liula [17]
Here is the value of each decimal digit value

.4⇒ tenths place

.01⇒hundredths place

.006,thousandths place

So .416 is .416 rounded since there is nothing to round to

In other words, its already rounded to the nearest thousandths 
Its kinda a trick question to make sure you know your place values

The radius of a circle is 3 miles. What is the length of a 90° arc?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The length of the arc is 4.6375 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, find the perimeter of the circle by doing 2*pi*r, you'll get about 18.55 miles.

2*pi*r ---> 2*pi*3 ---> 6*pi ---> ≈ 18.55 miles

Next, plug in x/360, where 360 is the total arc of a circle, and x is the arc you need.

x/360 ---> 90/360 ---> = 0.25

Lastly multiply the two numbers.

18.55 * 0.25 ---> 4.6375 miles is your answer.

<em>(you may need to round your answer if needed)</em>
