Answer:
<em>The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fraction of Portion</u>
Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.
For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.
Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:
![\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%7D%7B%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%7D)
The division can be easier performed by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:
![\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{4}{3}=\frac{1*4}{3*3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Ccdot%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B3%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%2A4%7D%7B3%2A3%7D)
![\displaystyle =\frac{4}{9}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B9%7D)
The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:
![A = wl](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%20%3D%20wl)
w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:
![l = 2w + 3, A = 9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=l%20%3D%202w%20%2B%203%2C%20A%20%3D%209)
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:
![w(2w+3) = 9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=w%282w%2B3%29%20%3D%209)
![2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2w%5E2%20%2B%203w%20-%209%20%3D%200)
Thus a quadratic equation with ![a = 2, b = 3, c = -9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%20%3D%202%2C%20b%20%3D%203%2C%20c%20%3D%20-9)
Then
![\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20%3D%203%5E2%20-%204%282%29%28-9%29%20%3D%2081)
![w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=w_%7B2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-3%20-%20%5Csqrt%7B81%7D%7D%7B2%2A2%7D%20%3D%20-3)
Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

.725 multiplied by 4500=362.5
750+3262.5=4012.5
The last statement is NOT true.
1/2 divided by 4 is 0.125 and 1/2 times 4/1 is 2
Hope I helped!
