Mr. Arellano decided to make cookies for 7th grade students. He was supposed to mix 4 cups of flour, 1.2 cups of sugar, and 2.5
Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.6 cups of sugar and 1.25 cups of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

We can begin to solve this problem with a simple proportion:

\frac{4}{2} = \frac{1.2}{x} = \frac{2.5}{y}

(x = the new # of sugar    y = new # of chocolate chips)

In order to keep everything proportional, we must abide by the scale factor shown with the the flour.

Basically, if we're going to use three times the amount of flour we actually need, then we need to triple all our other ingredients.

We can see that the scale factor is one half, so

x = 1.2 * 0.5

and

y = 2.5 * 0.5

This means that:

x = 0.6

y = 1.25

This means that he has to use 0.6 (or 3/5) cups of sugar and 1.25 (or 9/8) cups of chocolate chips.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

1,231 people

Step-by-step explanation:

1,256 people currently subscribe. $0.25 is 5 nickels, and for every nickel the price is raised, 5 people unsubscribe. That's 1 person per cent. 25 people will unsubscribe for every $0.25 the price is raised. 1,256-25 is 1,231, so 1,231 people will continue to subscribe after the price increase.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Correct Question: A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes. The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes. Which proportion represents the situation?

We have , A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes , i.e.

Number of potatoes = 3

Now , The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes i.e. for every 2 pounds of beef we have 6 potatoes

⇒ 2/6

⇒ \frac{2}{6}

⇒ \frac{2}{2(3)}

⇒ \frac{1}{3}

Therefore , Pounds of beef and potatoes are in ratio or proportion of \frac{1}{3} .
