Answer:

The number of the cups of uncooked rice is 3 cups

The number of the cups of water is 3\frac{3}{4} cups

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let us read the recipe of Nasi Gorang

- 2 cups of uncooked rice need 2\frac{1}{2} cups of water to

  make 4\frac{1}{3} cups of cooked rice

- Joseph needs 6\frac{1}{2} cups of cooked rice

- We need to know how many cups of uncooked rice Joshep needs

  for this recipe and how much water should be added

* We can solve this problem by using the ratio method

⇒ uncooked cups   :   water cups   :   cooked cups

⇒ 2                           :   2\frac{1}{2}                   :  4\frac{1}{3}

⇒  x                           :   y                     :  6\frac{1}{2}

- By using cross multiplication

∵ x ( 4\frac{1}{3} ) = 2 ( 6\frac{1}{2} )

∵ 4\frac{1}{3} = \frac{13}{3}

∵ 6\frac{1}{2} = \frac{13}{2}

∴ x ( \frac{13}{3} ) = 2 ( \frac{13}{2} )

∴ \frac{13}{3} x = 13

- Divide both sides by \frac{13}{3}

∴ x = 3

∴ The number of the cups of uncooked rice is 3 cups

- By using cross multiplication

∵ y ( 4\frac{1}{3} ) =  ( 2\frac{1}{2} )( 6\frac{1}{2} )

∵ 2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

∵ 6\frac{1}{2} = \frac{13}{2}

∵ 4\frac{1}{3} = \frac{13}{3}

∴ \frac{13}{3} y = ( \frac{5}{2} )( \frac{13}{2} )

∴ \frac{13}{3} y = \frac{65}{4}

- Divide both sides by \frac{13}{3}

∴ y = 3\frac{3}{4}

∴ The number of the cups of water is 3\frac{3}{4} cups

Given:

form a triangle with a perimeter of a whole number.
third side the triangle will be the house 

Since two sides are already of the same length, he can create an isosceles triangle. 

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles.

Assuming that the 3rd side is also 5 feet long, then, he can create an equilateral triangle.

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal angles, measuring 60° each angle.

What is the surface area of the three-dimensional figure formed by the net shown?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

336 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1 rectangle 24 cm by 12 cm

1 triangle with base 12 cm and height 8 cm (combining the two small triangles into 1 larger triangle)

SA = 24 cm * 12 cm + 12 cm * 8 cm / 2

SA = 288 cm² + 48 cm²

SA = 336 cm²

cluponka [151]

Answer:

V(x)=3(x-6)(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Polynomial Factoring</u>

The volume of a cardboard box is expressed as:

V(x)=3x^2-36x+108

It's required to factor that expression.

First, factor out 3:

V(x)=3(x^2-12x+36)

The expression in parentheses is a perfect square:

\boxed{V(x)=3(x-6)(x-6)}

(NR) Natural Resources:Question 10
elena55 [62]

Answer: D) Groundwater collects only where the soil and geological features allow water to seep down into underground chambers.

In other words, as long as there are gaps to allow water through, then that would lead to underground aquifers. Another important component is the amount of rain water that happens. Sources such as rivers, lakes and streams are also a contributing factor.

Stuff like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and continental movement doesn't really have much an effect on where or how aquifers form. It's really all about the soil type and how the landscape is formed, and of course the other factors mentioned in the previous paragraph.
