Answer:

In cooking (recipes).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the serving size for a recipe is not adequate for the number of people you are serving, you will have to convert the amounts(measurements) of the ingredients to suit your needs. You will do this by first creating a ratio defining the relationship between the serving size of the given recipe to the number of people needed to be served. For example, if a recipe serves 4 people, and you need to serve 8, your ratio would simplify to 1/2. This means you must proportionally relate this ratio to the individual amounts of each ingredient.

A figure is composed of a rectangle and a right triangle. What is the area of the figure?

strojnjashka [21]

QUESTION 1

The figure is a tra-pezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula;

$A=\frac{1}{2}(Sum\:of\:parallel\:sides)\times h$

We substitute the values to obtain;

$Area=\frac{1}{2}(13.2cm+8.4cm)\times 6cm$

$Area=\frac{1}{2}(21.6cm)\times 6cm$

$Area=64.8cm^2$

QUESTION 2

The approximate length of the ribbon is equal to the circumference of the circular table cloth.

We can find this by using the formula for calculating the circumference of a circle.

$C=2\pi r$

where $r=3.5ft$ is the radius of the circular table cloth.

We substitute this value and $\pi=3.14$ into the formula to get;

$C=2(3.14)(3.5)ft$

$C=21.98ft$

The approximate length of the ribbon is 22.0ft to the nearest tenth.

QUESTION 3

Type of quadrilateral:Rectangle

Explanation: A rectangle has 4 angles that are right angles.

The two pairs of opposite sides of a rectangle are also congruent.

QUESTION 4.

The circumference of a semi circle is calculated using the formula;

$C=\pi r$

where $r=12.5cm$ is the radius of the semicircle.

$C=3.14\times 12.5cm$

$C=39.25cm$

QUESTION 5

The area of the entire figure is the area of the semicircle plus the area of the isosceles triangle.

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^2+\frac{1}{2}bh$

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\times3.14\times12.5^2+\frac{1}{2}\times25\times 24$

$Area=345.3125+300$

$Area=645.3125cm^2$

$Area\approx645cm^2$

QUESTION 6

The area of the parallelogram is given by the formula;

$A=bh$

From the diagram, $b=y\:in.,h=3in.$ .

Given, A=23.7 inches squared.

We substitute the values to obtain;

$23.7=3y$

$y=\frac{23.7}{3}$

$y=7.9in.$

QUESTION 7

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

$Area=l\times b$

The area of the bigger rectangle $=9\times15=135in^2$

The area of the smaller rectangle $=8\times 13=104in^2$

The area of the shaded region $=135-104=31in^2$

128 is 74% of what number

GarryVolchara [31]

Percent means parts out of 100
74%=74/100=0.74

'of' means multiply

so
128 is 74% of what means
128=0.74 times what
divide both sides by 0.74
172.97297297297297297297297297297=what
the number is about 173
