Answer: 1/4 cup more (or half of the 1/2 cup)

Step-by-step explanation: If you need 3/4 cups of sugar but only have 1/2 cup of sugar, then you have 2/4 cups of sugar. This is because we have to convert the 1/2 cup into fourths. You can do this by: 1/2 multiplied by 2 (to equal 4). What you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator. So, 2/2 multiplied by 1/2 gives us 2/4. Now, to get to 3/4, you only need 1/4 cup of sugar. If it helps, instead of thinking with fractions, try to imagine cooking. Its easier to think of converting measuring cups in cooking then to remember all the math behind conversions. Hope this helped! :)

Whitch three capital letters have rotational symmetry but do not have line symmetry

deff fn [24]

First you want to figure out what exactly it is you are looking for. We are looking for "capital letters that have rotational symmetry but do not have line symmetry"

So:
1. Must have rotational symmetry.
This means that if we rotate the capital letter 180 deg, either clockwise or counterclockwise, it will still look the same

2. Must not have line symmetry.
If an object has line symmetry, it means that if you draw a line down the middle (in any way), it will be symmetrical on both sides. We need capital letters that do not fit that condition.

Now we look at all capital letters.
We find that H, I, N,O, S, X, and Z are all rotationally symmetrical. Think about it. If you rotate them, they still look the same.

But, we have to make sure they do not have line symmetry. If we draw a line right down the middle of H, I, O and X (**note, the have multiple lines of symmetry), they are symmetrical on both sides of the line.

Now we are left with N, S, and Z

By selling old CD Sarah has a store credit of $153 a new CD cost $18 what are the problem numbers of new cCD Sarah can buy

DiKsa [7]

Rileyflipflop, $\frac{153}{18}$ = 8 $\frac{1}{2}$ , since she can't buy half a CD, she's limited to no more than 8 CDs. If x = the cost of one CD, then x CDs cost $18x. Since we are limited to $153, our equation looks like... 18x < 153x < 8 $\frac{1}{2}$ Again, since we can't buy half a CD, your answer should actually be... x ≤ 8 since we can buy 8 CDs or fewer.
