Kayla has 1\frac{3}{7} cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothie uses \frac{1}{4} cup of yogurt. What is the maximum numbe
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: The maximum number of smoothies is 6 cups

Step-by-step explanation: The quantity of yogurt Kayla has is 1³/₇ cups and she needs to make smoothies that would require, 1/4 cup. The number of smoothies she can make from this available quantity can be mathematically expressed as follows;

Number of smoothies = Total Quantity/Quantity per cup

So if we represent Total quantity (1 ³/₇ cups) by x and the quantity per cup (1/4) by y, then the number of smoothies she can make from her available amount of yogurt can be expressed as follows;

Number of smoothies = x/y

The reason is simple, Kayla can determine how many cups of smoothies she can make provided she knows how much quantity each cup of smoothie would require. That means, if for example she has 10 cups of yogurt and each smoothie requires 5 cups, she simply needs to find out how many 5 cups she can get out of 10 cups, which now translates into 10 divided by 5. Similarly, she has 1 ³/₇ cups of yogurt and to determine how many ¹/₄ cups can come out of this she simply needs to divide the total quantity of yogurt by the amount each cup requires, which bring us back to the equation;

Number of smoothies = x/y

Where x = 1 ³/₇ cups of yogurt and y = ¹/₄ cup of yogurt

Number of smoothies = 1 ³/₇÷ ¹/₄

Number of smoothies = (¹⁰/₇) x (⁴/₁)

Number of smoothies = 40/7

Number of smoothies = 5 ⁵/₇

The maximum number of smoothies Kayla can make is 6 cups, because the result shows 5 cups and a fraction which is greater than half a cup. Therefore the last one that measures 5/7 of a cup shall be the sixth one.

Please help!!!!!!! it would be very appreciated
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 17.5 and y = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 10 = y + 10 ( alternate angles )

subtract 10 from both sides

2x = y ⇒ 6x = 3y → (1)

the sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

6x + y + 10 + 30 = 180 ( replace 6x by 3y )

3y + y + 40 = 180

4y + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

4y = 140 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 35

substitute y = 35 into (1)

2x = 35 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 17.5

Terry and Callie do word processing. For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can. If they wor
Dahasolnce [82]

Time taken by jerry alone is 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone is 8.1 hours

<u>Solution:</u>

Given:- For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can

Let the time taken by Terry be "a" hours

So, the time taken by Callie will be (a-2) hours

Hence, the efficiency of Callie and Terry per hour is \frac{1}{a-2} \text { and } \frac{1}{a} \text { respectively }

If they work together they can do the entire prospectus in five hours

\text {So, } \frac{1}{a-2}+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5}

On cross-multiplication we get,

\frac{a+(a-2)}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}

\frac{2 a-2}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}

On cross multiplication ,we get

\begin{array}{l}{5 \times(2 a-2)=a \times(a-2)} \\\\ {10 a-10=a^{2}-2 a} \\\\ {a^{2}-2 a-10 a+10=0} \\\\ {a^{2}-12 a+10=0}\end{array}

<em><u>using quadratic formula:-</u></em>

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}

\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{104}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm 2 \sqrt{26}}{2}} \\\\ {x=6 \pm \sqrt{26}=6 \pm 5.1} \\\\ {x=10.1 \text { or } x=0.9}\end{array}

If we take a = 0.9, then while calculating time taken by callie = a - 2 we will end up in negative value

Let us take a = 10.1

So time taken by jerry alone = a = 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone = a - 2 = 10.1 - 2 = 8.1 hours
