Help me please?? solve using proportion

Mathematics
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago
6 0

9514 1404 393

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.

Read the following and answer the questions that follow.
user100 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(7/12) of 840 attended the concert:

(7/12)*(840) = 490 students attended the Spring Concert.

(840 - 490) = 350 did not attend

(350/840) is the fraction of students who did not attend.  This can be reduced to (35/84)

(350/840) = 0.4167 or 41.67% did not attend.

If gas costs $3.15 per gallon, how many whole gallons of gas could you buy with $27.00?
Volgvan

Answer: 8 whole gallons.

Step-by-step explanation: If you have only $27.00 and you need to buy gas, but each gallon is $3.15, then you just need to divide your total amount ($27.00) by your cost per gallon ($3.15), and you will get about 8.6 gallons, however this question asks for how many WHOLE gallons you can get, so all you need to do is round down to fit your budget, leaving money for only 8 whole gallons.

WORK: ($27.00) / ($3.15) = 8.6 gallons

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following end points (10,5) and (6,9)
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

  • \left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x, y) be the mid-point

Given the points

  • (10,5)
  • (6,9)

Using the formula to find the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9)

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

Here:

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(10,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:9\right)

Thus,

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{6+10}{2},\:\frac{9+5}{2}\right)

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)

Therefore, the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

  • \left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)
