The given cones are similar .Similar figures have sides in proportion.

Forming the proportion for similar sides in the two cones we have:

$\frac{10}{3}.=\frac{3}{x}.$

This is of the form : $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}.$

We can cross multiply.

Cross multiplying we have:

10x=9

Dividing both sides by 10 we have

x= $\frac{9}{10}.$

x=0.90.

A recipe requires 5/6 of a cup of sugar. If mrs.Marina is going to make one half of the recipe, how much sugar does she need

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$Half\ of\ the\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{12}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

$A\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{6}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$

i.e

$\frac{5}{6}\ cup\ of\ sugar = 1\ recipe$

As the mrs.Marina is going to make one half of the recipe .

$Thus\ multiply\ above\ by\ \frac{1}{2}.$

We get

$\frac{5\times 1}{6\times 2}\ cup\ of\ sugar = \frac{1}{2}\ recipe$

solving the above

$\frac{5}{12}\ cup\ of\ sugar = \frac{1}{2}\ recipe$

$Therefore\ half\ of\ the\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{12}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$
