Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The possible outcomes include 1, 2, 3, etc., up through 25. This in itself is insufficient to specify who will go first. There must be some further criteria.
Suppose each player chooses and announces a number from this set by writing it down on a scrap of paper which is placed face-down on the table. The person who chooses the smaller number goes first. Or, the person who chooses the larger number goes first.
Recipe is for 24 pieces, and required quantity is 16.
So the ratio is 16/24 = 2/3 means we need to reduce all ingredients to 2/3 of the given quantities. Not all recipes can be reduced prorata, but we will assume it can be done. A word of caution: the measurement of quantities will become awkward (like 3/8 of a teaspoon of salt, etc). The practical way is to make the full recipe, and invite friends to take home the remainder.
Here's the scaled recipe
Butter 1cup*3/4 = 3/4 cup
unsweetened chocolate = 4*3/4 = 3 squares
white sugar = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
eggs = 4 * 3/4 = 3 eggs
A.P. flour = 1 cup * 3/4 = 3/4 cups
vanilla extract = 1 * 3/4 = 3/4 teaspoons
salt = 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8 teaspoons
chopped walnuts = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
For this reason, there is a trend to use weights (in grams) than volumes to make scaling recipes easier.
Answer:
2/3r + p
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3r + 4/3p - 1/3p
combine like terms, terms with like coefficients can be combined, terms that do not have like coefficients cannot be combined
coefficient- the variable that a number is multiplied by
2/3r + <u>4/3p</u> <u> - 1/3p</u>
combine
2/3r + 3/3p
or
2/3r + p
The answer is b. Hope this helped
