Answer:

The height of the drawing should be: 8.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the proportion given by the scale in order to find the height "h" that you need to draw:

\frac{30}{1} =\frac{255}{h} \\30=\frac{255}{h}\\30\,h=255\\h=\frac{255}{30}\\ h=8.5\,\,cm

For which value of X is the row in the table of values incorrect? The function is the quadratic function Y=3/4x^2
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The row with x = 2 and y = 4 is incorrect. The y value should be y = 3 when x = 2.

==============================================================

Explanation:

Fractions can be a bit of a pain, so I'm going to be converting to decimal form to help with the computation; however, I will convert the y value results to mix number form so that it matches what the table shows.

Keep in mind that 3/4 = 0.75 when you use a calculator or long division. So a number like 2.75 means 2 & 3/4 (two and three quarters)

---------------

Let's check the first row. Plug in x = 0 and it leads to...

y = (3/4)*x^2

y = (3/4)*0^2

y = (3/4)*0

y = 0.75*0

y = 0

This shows us that row 1 is correct. When x = 0, y = 0 leading to (x,y) = (0,0).

-------------

Repeat the same basic outline of steps, but now use x = 2

y = (3/4)*x^2

y = (3/4)*2^2

y = (3/4)*4

y = 0.75*4

y = 3

So instead of 4, the proper y value is y = 3 when x = 2. This means row 2 is the answer (the row that has the incorrect values).

-------------

For the sake of completeness, let's see if the third row is correct or not. Plug in x = 3

y = (3/4)*x^2

y = (3/4)*3^2

y = (3/4)*9

y = 0.75*9

y = 6.75

y = 6 & 3/4

We see that x = 3 points to y = 6 & 3/4, so we have the correct values in this row. We can cross this off the list of choices.

-------------

Finally, let's check x = 5

y = (3/4)*x^2

y = (3/4)*5^2

y = (3/4)*25

y = 0.75*25

y = 18.75

y = 18 & 3/4

We get the proper y value. So we can also cross this off the list.

Alex and payton each have a favorite pancake recipe. Alexs recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches, paytons recipe uses 3/
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

9/4z cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches

Cups of flour per batch = 7 1/2 cups ÷ 5 batches

= 15/2 ÷ 5

= 15/2 × 1/5

= (15*1)/(2*5)

= 15/10

Alex recipe per batch= 3/2 cups of flour per batch

paytons recipe uses 3/4 cup of flour more per batch than alexs recipe

Payton's recipe per batch = Alex recipe per batch + 3/4 cups

= 3/2 + 3/4

= (6+3)/4

= 9/4 cups of flour

Payton's recipe per batch = 9/4 cups of flour

What expression can be used to determine the number of cups of flour used to make z batches of paytons pancake recipe

Payton's recipe for z batches = Payton's recipe per batch * number of batches

= 9/4 cups * z batches

= 9/4z cups

Payton's recipe for z batches = 9/4z cups
