Answer:

2 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion says the ratio of one thing to another is the same for different amounts. Here, we want cups, so we can use the proportion ...

cups/people = 2/12 = x/15 . . . . . where x is the number we want to find

Multiplying by 15 gives ...

x = 15(2/12) = 5/2 = 2 1/2

You will need 2 1/2 cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe.

A basket contains 13 pieces of fruit: 5 apples, 5 oranges, and 3 bananas. Jonas takes a piece of fruit at random from the basket

igor_vitrenko [27]

Use formula for theoretical probability:

$Pr=\dfrac{\text{the number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{the number of possible outcomes}}.$

1. The probability that Jonas will get an orange is

$Pr(\text{Jonas gets orange})=\dfrac{5}{13}.$

2. Ben is taking a piece second and he has 12 piecies left, among them 5 apples, 4 oranges and 3 bananas. The probability that Ben will get an apple is

$Pr(\text{Ben gets apple})=\dfrac{5}{12}.$

3. Use the product rule to determine

$Pr(\text{Jonas gets orange and Ben gets apple})=\dfrac{5}{13}\cdot \dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{25}{156}.$

Answer: correct choice is A.

Let f(x) = -4x + 7 and g(x) = 10x - 6 find f(g(x))

max2010maxim [7]

F(x) = -4x + 7
g(x) = 10x - 6

f(g(x)) = -4(10x - 6) + 7
f(g(x)) = -4(10x) + 4(6) + 7
f(g(x)) = -40x + 24 + 7
f(g(x)) = -40x + 31
