He will use 11 and half cups of olive oil to use with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Olive oil used in recipe = 23 cups

Cinnamon used in recipe = 2 teaspoons

Ratio of cinnamon to olive oil in recipe = 2:23

Cinnamon Leon has = 1 teaspoon

Let x be the olive oil.

Ratio of available cinnamon to olive oil = 1:x

Using proportion;

Ratio of cinnamon to olive oil in recipe :: Ratio of available cinnamon to olive oil

$2:23::1:x$

Product of extreme = Product of mean

$2*x=23*1\\2x=23$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{23}{2}\\x=11.5$

11.5 can also be written as $11\frac{1}{2}$

He will use 11 and half cups of olive oil to use with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Last year Peter spent a total of 8 1/6 hours on community service. Visits to old folks' homes made up 4/7 of the total time. How

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

A. 4 2/3 hours

B. (i) 9 4/5 hours

(ii) 1 19/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, to find the number of hours he used in visiting old folks, what we have to do is to multiply the fraction of hours he used by the total number of hours.

Mathematically, that would be;

4/7 * 8 1/6

8 1/6 is same as 49/6

So the number of hours he spent visiting old folks would be ;

49/6 * 4/7 = 14/3 = 4 2/3 hours

B. What we do here is simply multiply the fraction now by what he spent last year.

That would be 1 1/5 * 8 1/6 hours

= 6/5 * 49/6 = 49/5 = 9 4/5 hours

ii) Now we want to know how much more time will be spent this year than last year.

What to do here simply is to subtract the time taken last year from what we have this year

That would be;

49/5 - 49/6 = 49/30 = 1 19/30

Dylan purchased a new car in 1993 for $26,300. The value of the car has been depreciating exponentially at a constant rate. If t

emmainna [20.7K]

The predicted value of the car in the year 2006 to the nearest dollar would be $651.

<h3>What is the predicted value of the car?</h3>

The first step is to determine the rate of depreciation

g = (FV/PV)^(1/n) - 1

Where:

FV = value of the car in 2001

PV = value of the car in 1993

n = number ofyears = 8

(2700/26,300)^(1/8) - 1 = -24.76%

Now determine the value of the car in 2006

2700x ( 1 - 0.2476)^5 = $651
