3. There are 4 friends. A quarter of 4 is 25%. You can prove this by multipling 25% by 4 of the friends to get 100%. There is a 25% chance of Jonathon arriving first and a 25% chance that Michel will arrive second.
Set up a proportion. 4 3/4 cup broth is to 10 servings as x cups broth is to 1 serving soup.
x= amount of broth in one serving
(4 3/4)/10= x/1
cross multiply
(4 3/4)(1)= 10x
convert 4 3/4 to improper fraction
(19/4)(1)= 10x
19/4= 10x
divide both sides by 10
19/4 ÷ 10= x
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal of 10
19/4 * 1/10= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(19*1)/(4*10)= x
19/40 cup= x
ANSWER: 19/40 cup in one serving
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=3x-10 and 3x+2y=16
y=3x-10
subsitute 3x-10 for y in other equation
3x+2y=16
3x+2(3x-10)=16
distribute
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
add 20 both sides
9x=36
divide both sides by 9
x=4
sub back
y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2
x=4
y=2
(4,2) is soluiton
