Jarry is making a strawberry smoothie which measure is greatest the amount of milk cottage cheese or strawberry
1 answer:
Answer:
Milk
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of milk, cottage cheese and strawberries used are given in the attached picture.
3/4 cup of milk
2/6 cup cottage cheese
8/12 cup strawberry
Converting the fractions to decimal :
3/4 cup of milk = 0.75
2/6 cup cottage cheese = 0.3333
8/12 cup strawberry = 0.66666
0.75 > 0.6666 > 0.3333
We can conclude that amount of milk is greatest, then strawberry and the least is cottage cheese.

To solve this problem, we must imagine the triangles and parallel lines which are formed. It is best to draw the triangle described in the problem so that you can clearly understand what I will be talking about.
The first step we have to do is to make an equality equation in triangle ABC.
In triangle ABC, we are given that lines XY and BC are two parallel lines (XY || BC). Therefore this means that:
AX / XB = AY / YC ---> 1
The next step is to make an equality equation in triangle AXC.
We are given that lines ZY and XC are two parallel lines (ZY || XC). Therefore this also means that:
AZ / ZX = AY / YC ---> 2
Combining 1 and 2 since they have both AY / YC in common:
AX / XB = AZ / ZX
we are given that:
AZ = 8, ZX = 4 therefore AX = AZ + ZX = 12, hence
12 / XB = 8 / 4
XB = 6
