1 batch of muffins included 2/3 cups of raisins. We can use this to set a proportion: 1 : 2/3. That means for every 1 batch, she uses 2/3 cups of raisins.
Now, Ina made 2 1/2 batches. To find out how, we need to look at our proportion again: 1 : 2/3. Whatever operation you do to one side, you must do to the other. So, to get 2 1/2 batches, we need to multiply the left side of the proportion, which is 1 batch, by 2 1/2 to get 2 1/2 batches.
BUT, we also need to multiply the other side, 2/3 cups, by 2 1/2. We can start by converting this into an improper fraction, 5/2. (Because 1=2/2, so 2=4/2, and 4/2+1/2=5/2.) When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and the denominators to get the new denominator. 2*5=10, and 3*2=6. Our new fraction is 10/6. Since these are both divisible by 2, we simplify by dividing each side by 2 to get 5/3. Finally, we can convert this into a mixed number: 1 2/3. (Because 1=3/3 and 5/3 - 3/3 = 2/3, and 1 + 2/3 = 1 2/3.) This is the cups of raisins she used.
Answer: She used 1 2/3 cups of raisins.
Answer:
The answer is A.-2, |-4/5|, |-1|, |3.5|, |-4.2|
Step-by-step explanation:
1+3+3+4+6+9+9 is 35
7 numbers so divide by 7
35/7 = 5
Mean is 5
The given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram since the opposite sides are of same length AB and DC is 4 and AD and BC is 2.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
ABCD is a quadrilateral with their opposite sides are congruent (equal).
The both pairs of opposite sides are given as AB = 3 + x
, DC = 4x
, AD = y + 1
, BC = 2y.
- AB and DC are opposite sides and have same measure of length.
- AD and BC are opposite sides and have same measure of length.
<u>To find the length of AB and DC :</u>
AB = DC
3 + x = 4x
Keep x terms on one side and constant on other side.
3 = 4x - x
3 = 3x
x = 1
Substiute x=1 in AB and DC,
AB = 3+1 = 4
DC = 4(1) = 4
<u>To find the length of AD and BC :</u>
AD = BC
y + 1 = 2y
Keep y terms on one side and constant on other side.
2y-y = 1
y = 1
Substiute y=1 in AD and BC,
AD = 1+1 = 2
BC = 2(1) = 2
Therefore, the opposite sides are of same length AB and DC is 4 and AD and BC is 2. The given quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
