There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. You can solve this problem using these proportions:

$\frac{8}{1} = \frac{144}{x}$

It states that there are 8 fluid ounces in every 1 cup and 144 fluid ounces in every <em>x </em>cups. We have to solve for <em>x </em>using cross-multiplication:

$8x = 144 \\ x=18$

Vickie can fill 18 1 cup candle molds with 144 fluid ounces of scented candle wax.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pi is irrational. That was proven long ago. Unfortunately the proof is harder to understand than the proof that the square root of 2 is irrational, which is accessible to most high school students.

To prove that p is irrational you need to understand calculus, up through integration. Even then, the proof is rather intense and takes careful attention.
