I like to start with changing fractions to decimals. It seems easier that way.
5/8 = 0.625 cups
Now divide 4 by 0.625
4 / 0.625 = 6.4
Noor can offer 6 cups with an extra 2/5 of a cup left. He can offer the 2/5 of a cup to a friend, so he can offer 7 friends some hot chocolate!
This was my answer for someone else question exactly like this :)
Let the two numbers be x and y.
x = 4y
x - y = 342
3y = 342
y = 114
xy = 4y * y = 456 * 114 = 51984
Answer:
B.2
Step-by-step explanation:
To make ΔA'B'C' from ΔABC, we need to use t
he scale factor =|A'B'|/|AB|=10/5=2
The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3
Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6
We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542
Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555
