Answer:
2 11/12 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
2 recipes are 2 1/2 cups of flour
1/3 is 1/3 x 1 1/4= 1/3 + 1/12= 5/12
So, 2 11/12 cups of flour
Answer:
$1.21
Explanation:
What we know:
- $5.88=3 pounds of apples
- price went up by $0.75 per pound
First, we divide $5.88 by 3 to find out how much one pound of apples cost.
5.88/3
=1.96
Therefore, the new price of apples per pound is $1.96.
Because the old price of apples per pound was $0.75 cheaper, we subtract 0.75 from 1.96.
1.96-0.75
=1.21
Therefore, the old price of apples per pound was $1.21.

The factors of a number are <em>all of the positive whole numbers that go into it evenly</em>. For example, 2 is a factor of 6 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, or equivalently, 6 = 2 x 3. Note that this naturally implies that every whole number has 1 and itself as a factor.
The numbers that go evenly into 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. For 27, those numbers are 1, 3, 9, and 27.
The <em>common factors </em>between two numbers are numbers that go into <em>both </em>numbers evenly. Looking through the lists for 24 and 27, we see that 1 and 3 are their common factors. The <em>greatest</em> common factor is, of course, the largest of these, so the greatest common factor of 24 and 27 is 3.
First you need to know the definition of a complementary angle. That means that two angles add up to 90 degrees, or a right angle.
To find an angle complementary to a 78 degree angle, you need to subtract 78 from 90.
90 - 78 = 12
Answer:
W = 2 cm
L = 5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle is a four sided shape with 4 perpendicular angles. It has two pairs of parallel sides which are equal in distance: width and length. Its area, the amount of space inside it, can be found using the formula A = l*w. If the area is 10 cm² and the length is "3 cm less than 4 times the width" or 4w - 3, you can substitute and solve for w.
A = l*w
10 = (4w - 3)(w)
10 = 4w² - 3w
Subtract 10 from both sides to make the equation equal to 0. Then solve the quadratic by quadratic formula.
4w² - 3w - 10 = 0
Substitute a = 4, b = -3 and c = -10.
There are two possible solutions which can be found.
3 + 13 / 8 = 16/ 8 = 2
3 - 13 / 8 = -10/8 = -5/4
Since w is a side length or distance, it must be positive so w = 2 cm.
If the width is 2 cm then the length is 4(2) - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5 cm.
