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.

If f (x)=3-2x and g (x)=1/x+5 what is the value of f/g (8)

makvit [3.9K]

F(x) = 3 - 2x
g(x) = 1/(x + 5)

(f/g)(x) = (3 - 2x) / 1/(x + 5) = (3 - 2x)(x + 5)
(f/g)(8) = (3 - 2(8))(8 + 5) = -13 x 13 = -169

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The number of each kind of apartment in the building is 130 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of floor in a building = 15

The number of apartment on each floor = 26

So, The total number of apartment = 26 × 15 = 390

The number of kinds of apartment in the building is 3 , i.e 1-bedroom , 2-bedroom , 3-bedroom

Let The number of each kind of apartment in building = x

So, According to question

The number of each kind of building = $\dfrac{\textrm Total number of apartment }{number of kinds of apartment}$

or, x = $\frac{390}{3}$

∴ x = 130

Hence The number of each kind of apartment in the building is 130 . Answer
