Given, To make a strawberry shortcake for one person, we need :

▪︎\frac{1}{3} cup of strawberry

▪︎one shortbread biscuit

Quantity of strawberries Elisa has = 3 cups

Number of shortbread biscuits she has = 12

Number of shortcakes she can make :

= \tt3 \div \frac{1}{3}

=  \tt\frac{3 \times 3}{1}

\color{plum} =\tt 9 \: people

Thus, Elisa can serve strawberry shortcakes to 9 people.

With 12 dozen shortbread biscuits she can serve 12 people.

Quantity of strawberries needed to serve 12 people :

=\tt \frac{1}{3}  \times 12

=\tt  \frac{12}{3}

\color{plum} = \tt4 \: cups

<h3>○=> Therefore :</h3>

▪︎Elisa can serve strawberry shortcakes to <u>9 people</u>.

▪︎Elisa will need <u>4 cups of strawberries</u> if she wants to use all dozen shortbread biscuits.

dion flips a coin 20 times and records if it comes up heads. if getting heads is a success, what is the probability of a success
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success (getting heads) on one roll DOESNT affect other rolls, so we need to find probability of getting a head in a roll.

Probability is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

<em>Here, favorable outcome is getting a head. So, on one roll, getting a head is 1. Also, the total number of outcomes is either a head or a tail. So total number of outcomes is 2.</em>

Thus,

P(Heads) = 1/2

An orange juice company sells a can of frozen orange juice that measures 9.4 centimeters in height and 5.2 centimeters in diamet
drek231 [11]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The third option:

2.7 times as much.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate how many more juice will the new can hold, we need to calculate the old can volume to the new can volume.

So, calculating we have:

Old can:

Since the cans have a right cylinder shape, we can calculate their volume using the following formula:

Volume_{RightCylinder}=Volume_{Can}=\pi r^{2} h

Where,

r=radius=\frac{diameter}{2}\\h=height

We are given the old can dimensions:

radius=\frac{5.2cm}{2}=2.6cm\\\\height=9.4cm

So, calculating the volume, we have:

Volume_{Can}=\pi *2.6cm^{2} *9.4cm=199.7cm^{3}

We have that the volume of the old can is:

Volume_{Can}=199.7cm^{2}

New can:

We are given the new can dimensions, the diameter is increased but the height is the same, so:

radius=\frac{8.5cm}{2}=4.25cm\\\\height=9.4cm

Calculating we have:

Volume_{Can}=\pi *4.25cm^{2} *9.4cm=533.40cm^{3}

Now, dividing the volume of the new can by the old can volume to know how many times more juice will the new can hold, we have:

\frac{533.4cm^{3} }{199.7cm^{3}}=2.67=2.7

Hence, we have that the new can hold 2.7 more juice than the old can, so, the answer is the third option:

2.7 times as much.

Have a nice day!
