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! :)

Without using trignometery tables find value of , cos70/sin20+cos57.cosec33 - 2cos60

Helen [10]

Here is some thoughts on this:

cos 57 = sin (90-57) = sin 33

so cos 57 . cosec 33 = cos 57 / sin 33 = sin 33 / sin33 = 1

2 cos 60 = 2 * 1/2 = 1

so the last 2 parts work out to 0

now we have to find cos 70 / sin 20

sin 20 = cos 70 so this comes to 1

so finally the answer is 1
