Answer:

11.339809 c

To convert a pound measurement to a cup measurement, multiply the sugar by the conversion ratio.

Since one pound of sugar is equal to 2.267962 cups, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cups = pounds × 2.267962

The sugar in cups is equal to the pounds multiplied by 2.267962.

For example, here's how to convert 5 pounds to cups using the formula above.

5 lb = (5 × 2.267962) = 11.339809 c

While experts usually suggest measuring dry ingredients by weight since it's more accurate, some recipes call for ingredients by volume and many of us don't have a scale when we need one. Because of the density of different types of sugar varies, it may not be obvious how to convert between a weight and volume measurements.

This table shows the approximate volume measurement for various weights of sugar, by type to help with the conversion.

If f(x) = (1/9)(9^x) what is f(3)

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The required value of f(3) is 81.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following function :

$f(x)=\left(\dfrac{1}{9}\right)9^x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We are to find the value of f(3).

Substituting x = 3 in equation (i), we get

$f(3)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{1}{9}\right)\times9^3\\\\=9^2\\\\=81.$

Thus, the required value of f(3) is 81.

A snail can move 1/30 miles in 1/3 hour. How fast does a snail move in miles /hours

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: 1/10 miles/hour

To find how fast a snail moves in miles per hour, we can find the unit rate using a proportion.

The unit rate is the amount per one unit. In this problem, the unit is for one hour. One way to find the unit rate is by using a proportion.

<h2>Proportions</h2>

Proportions look like two fractions set equal to each other with a missing variable to solve.

<h3>State our variables</h3>

let <em>x</em> be the number of miles per hour

<h3>Write a proportion</h3>

The first fraction has a number for the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom), because the question gives us the information. The second fraction has a missing value, <em>x</em>, that we are solving for. We can write <em>x</em> in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

<h2>Solve</h2>

We can solve by finding the scale factor. The scale factor is the number we can multiply the numerator by to find <em>x</em>.

<h3>Find the scale factor</h3>

Start with the proportion.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

To find the scale factor,

Take the denominator from the fraction with a variable: $1\ hr$
Take the denominator from the fraction that has no variable: $\frac{1}{3}\ hr$
Divide step 1 by step 2 and solve: $1\ hr\ \div\ \frac{1}{3}\ hr = 3$

Our scale factor is <u>3</u>.

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

We can find <em>x</em> by multiplying the numerator in the first fraction by the scale factor. This is because <em>x</em> is also in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{(\frac{1}{30}\ mi)*3}{1\ hr}}$

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{3}{30}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

Simplify 3/30 by dividing the fraction by 3.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{1}{10}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

x = 1/10

∴ a snail moves 1/10 miles per hour.

Your teacher gives you a number cube with numbers 1-6 on its faces. You are asked to state a theoretical probability model for r

butalik [34]

The missing part of the question is show in bold format.

Your teacher gives you a number cube with numbers 1-6 on its faces. You are asked to state a theoretical probability model for rolling it

once. Your probability model shows a probable outcome of 1/6 for each of the numbers on the cube, 1 chance for all any of the 6 numbers.

You roll it 500 times and get the following data:

Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6

Frequency 77 92 75 90 76 90

Exercises 1–2

1. If the equality model was correct, about how many of each outcome

would you expect to see if the cube is rolled 500 times

2. Based on the data from the 500 rolls, how often were odd numbers observed? How often were even numbers observed?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equally likely model was correct, about how many of each outcome

would you expect to see if the cube is rolled 500 times.

The probability of rolling any of the numbers from 1 to 6 is p(1/6)

The number of each of the outcomes expected to be seen in 500 rolls of the number cube is $np$

$= 500 * \frac{1}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{500}{6} \\ \\ = 83.333 \\ \\ \approx 83$

2. From the given data in the roll;

The odd numbers 1, 3 and 5, were obtained at 77, 75 and 76 times respectively.

Thus, the total number of times odd number were rolled = 77 + 75 + 76 = 228

Probability of an odd number turning up = $\frac{ number \ of \ required \ outcome}{ total \ number \ of \ possible \ outcome}$

= $\frac{228}{500}$

= 0.456

= 45.6%

The even numbers, 2, 4 and 6, were obtained 92, 90 and 90 times respectively.

The total number of times even number were rolled = 92 + 90 + 90 = 272

Probability of an even number turning up = $\frac{ number \ of \ required \ outcome}{ total \ number \ of \ possible \ outcome}$

= $\frac{272}{500}$

= 0.544

= 54.4%
