Answer 1

Answer:

a)1 cup of flour

b)67.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A recipe requires 3 cups of flour to make 27 dinner rolls. How much flour is needed to make 9 rolls?

From the above question, we know that:

27 dinner rolls = 3 cups of flour

9 dinner rolls = x

Cross Multiply

27 rolls × x = 9 rolls × 3 cups

x = 9 rolls × 3 cups/27 rolls

x = 1 cup of flour

Hence, 1 cup of flour is needed to make 9 dinner rolls

b) Mandy runs 4 km in 18 min. She plans to run in a 15 km race. How long will it take her to complete the race?

From the above question:

4 km = 18 minutes

15km = x

Cross Multiply

4km × x = 15km × 18 minutes

x = 15km × 18minutes/4km

x = 67.5 minutes

Hence, in a 15km race , it would take her 67.5 minutes to complete her race.
