Answer:

7 quarts = 28 cups

10 cups = 2.5 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the two different questions in the problem, starting with a ratio of the number of quarts to the number of cups would be helpful:

\frac{quarts}{cups}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}

So, for every 1 quart of milk, she can pour 4 cups.  Using this ratio, we can set up equivalent ratios, or proportions, to solve for the missing value.  For the first question, we need to know that amount of cups in 7 quarts:

\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7}{x}

We can solve for 'x' by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same factor, in this case '7'.  So, 4 x 7 = 28 cups.

Next, we need to solve for the amount of quarts needed for 10 cups:

\frac{1}{4}=\frac{x}{10}

4 x 2.5 = 10, so we need to multiply the numerator by 2.5: 1 x 2.5 = 2.5 quarts.

How to make an improper fraction into a proper fraction?
e-lub [12.9K]
Divide the numerator by the denominator and any remaining values go back above the denominator. 

Example: 

17 / 4 is an improper fraction. To turn it into a proper fraction we do 17 divided by 4. 

17 / 4 is 4 with a remainder of 4. So we put the 4 on the outside and the 1 back above the denominator, which is 4. 

It ends up looking like this: \frac{17}{4} = 4 \frac{1}{4}

What is the slope of the linear function?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: Answer choice D

Step-by-step explanation: The linear function is y = -5/3 + 5, which means that the slope is 5/3. The fact that the slope is ascending to the left also eliminates the first two choices.

Answer:

The percent is 26%

Step-by-step explanation:

189 divided by 150 is 1.26 but since the original price is $150 the percent is 100% and 189 is 126% so the percent difference is 26%.
