We have been given that during one period extreme cold, the average daily temperature decreased 1\frac{1}{2} degree F each day. We are asked to find number of days it will take for the temperature to decrease by 9 degree F.

First of all we will convert our mixed fraction into improper fraction.

1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}

Now we will divide total temperature change (9) by average daily temperature change (\frac{3}{2}) to find number of days.

9\div\frac{3}{2}

Dividing a number by a fraction is same as multiplying the number by reciprocal of the fraction.

9\cdot\frac{2}{3}

3\cdot2=6

Therefore, it will take 6 days for the temperature to decrease by 9 degree F.

Francesca is painting a picture of the purple flowers in her garden. She mixes paint to make the perfect color for each type of
aniked [119]

Find total ounces mixed for each flower:

Daisies = 2+5 = 7 ounces

Tulips = 3 +6 = 9 ounces

Now find the ratio of purple to white for each one:

Daisies = 5/7 = 0.714

Tulips = 6/9 = 0.666

Daisies have more purple so would be the darker ones.
