Answer:
a. Given a number of tablespoons, find the number of cups:
1. Since he needs 2 cups, he can use 2×16=32 tablespoons.
2.Since he needs 1/2 cup, he can use 1/2×16=8 tablespoons.
He needs 1 1/4 cups. 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. 1/4 cup is 1/4×16=4 tablespoons. So altogether he needs 16+4=20 tablespoons.Given a number of cups, find the number of tablespoons:
I already found that 20 tablespoons is 1 1/4 cups. So for 28 tablespoons I need an additional 8 tablespoons, or an additional 1/2 cup. 1 1/4+1/2=1 3/4, so 28 tablespoons gets him 1 3/4 cups. (Alternatively, we might say that 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×28=28/16, which we can rewrite as 1 12/16 or 1 3/4.)
I notice that to convert from tablespoons to cups, I always divide by 16. 6÷16=6/16, which we can write as 1 3/8. (Alternatively, 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×6=6/16, which we can rewrite as 1 3/8.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Given
Total number of marbles in the bag = 13 marbles
Number of yellow marbles = 6.
We choose 2 marbles from the bag without replacing and need to determine the probability that both are yellow.
Step 2 :
Probability of finding yellow marble in the first try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = 
Once the yellow marble is selected we have 5 yellow marbles among 12 remaining marbles in the bag.
Probability of finding yellow marble in the second try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = 
Step 3:
P(yellow in first 2 tries) = P(yellow in first try) * P(yellow in second try)
P(yellow in first 2 tries) =
= 
Step 4:
Answer:
The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26
2/7 is the probability that the first satellite sends a weak signal. That leaves 6, one of which sends a weak signal. So the probability that the second also sends a weak signal is 1/6. Combine these and we get 2/7×1/6=1/21.
Remark
The short answer is you multiply 0.6 times the cm/s to get m/min.

Though you didn't ask for it, here's the way it is done. Notice that each set of brackets cancels the units of a set of brackets to the left of the set of brackets you are observing. This is called unit analysis. The answer is given below.
![\frac{18 cm}{sec} *[\frac{60 cm}{1 min}] * [\frac{1 m}{100 cm}] = 18*0.6\frac{m}{min}=10.8\frac{m}{min}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B18%20cm%7D%7Bsec%7D%20%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B60%20cm%7D%7B1%20min%7D%5D%20%2A%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%20m%7D%7B100%20cm%7D%5D%20%3D%2018%2A0.6%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bmin%7D%3D10.8%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bmin%7D)
