To make 3 dozen cookies, a recipe calls for 4 eggs and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Ben wants to make 12 dozen cookies for a clas

Dima020 [189]

First problem
The recipe is written for 3 dozen cookies.
Hew wants to make 12 dozen cookies.
12 dozen is 4 times 3 dozen, so multiply each amount by 4 to make 12 dozen cookies.

4 eggs * 4 = 16 eggs
1/2 cup chocolate chips * 4 = 2 cups chocolate chips

Second problem
Let's start from the end.

There were 40 apples left on the tree.
Sally picked 1/3 of the apples that were left for her.
40 apples were left after Sally finished.
Since Sally picked 1/3 of the apples, she left 2/3 of the apples on the tree.
2/3 of the apples were 40 apples. 1/3 is 20 apples, so the number of apples left for Sally is 60 apples. Before Sally started, there were 60 apples.

Bill had picked 1/2 the apples, which means he left half of them. He left 60. That means to original number was 120 apples.

Answer: 120 apples.

C = 2pi(r). Find the radius of the circle first. Then multiply that by 2pi.
Pi=3.14159... 2pi = 2 x 3.14159...
Therefore C = 2 x 3.14159... x r

Please explain part i

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

The red portion is marked with a small square; that means it is a 90° section. It is 1/4 of the whole circle. They also said 75 kids chose red. If 1/4 of the circle represents 75 kids, then the whole entire circle would represent 75+75+75+75 kids or 4(75) kids, which is 300 kids.

1. Consider the system of equations below. What could be the first step in solving by elimination?

leva [86]

Answer:

Multiple the first equation by -1

Step-by-step explanation:

After doing this you add the two equations together and follow the systems of equations as normal

$-3x+-5y=-16\\3x+2y=10\\-3y=-6\\\frac{-3y}{-3} =\frac{-6}{-3} \\y=2$

Therefore y = 2
