Answer:

a. Given a number of tablespoons, find the number of cups:

1. Since he needsÂ 2 cups, he canÂ use 2×16=32 tablespoons.

2.Since he needsÂ 1/2 cup, he canÂ use 1/2×16=8 tablespoons.

He needs 1 1/4 cups. 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. 1/4 cup is 1/4×16=4 tablespoons. So altogether he needs 16+4=20 tablespoons.Given a number of cups, find the number of tablespoons:

I already found that 20 tablespoons is 1 1/4 cups. So for 28 tablespoons I need an additional 8 tablespoons, or an additional 1/2 cup. 1 1/4+1/2=1 3/4, so 28 tablespoons gets him 1 3/4 cups. (Alternatively, we might say that 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×28=28/16, which we can rewrite as 1 12/16 or 1 3/4.)

I notice that to convert from tablespoons to cups, I always divide by 16. 6÷16=6/16, which we can write as 1 3/8. (Alternatively,Â 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×6=6/16, which we can rewrite as 1 3/8.)

$\bf \cfrac{n^2+3n+2}{n^2+6n+8}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{n^2+3n+21}{(n+4)(n+2)}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}
\\\\\\
\textit{so our LCD will just be (n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(n+2)(2n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(2n^2+4n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~2n^2-4n}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\implies 
\cfrac{-n^2-n+2}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-(n^2+n-2)}{(n+4)(n+2)}\implies \cfrac{-\underline{(n+2)}(n-1)}{(n+4)\underline{(n+2)}}\implies \cfrac{-(n-1)}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{1+n}{n+4}$
