Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the total fabric as an integer = 1

Ellen divides a piece of fabric into 8 equal sections by drawing chalk lines.

= 1/8, hence each section = 1/8

Then she cuts off 5 of the sections to make into placemats.

This is written as: 5 sections × 1/8 = 5/8

The fraction of the fabric that is left is calculated as:

1 - 5/8

Lowest Common Denominator = 8

Hence: 8 - 5/8 = 3/8

The fraction of the fabric that is left is 3/8

If 30g of sugar is needed to make 4 cakes how much grams of sugar is needed to make 7 cakes
arsen [322]
There's two ways to do this.

The first way:
Work out the amount of sugar needed to make one cake, and then multiply that by 7.

30 grams ÷ 4 cakes = 7.5 grams for 1 cake.
7.5 grams × 7 cakes = 52.5 grams for 7 cakes.

The second way:
Work out the ratio of sugar:cake by doing 7 ÷ 4, and then multiplying that value by 30.

7 cakes ÷ 4 cakes = 1.75
1.75 × 30 grams = 52.5 grams for 7 cakes. 

Either way, the answer is 52.5 grams.

If the temperature after 4.4 degree drop was -2.5 degrees Celsius what was the temperature at noon
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.9°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the temperature at noon and -2.5°C be the current temperature after the drop.

-We calculate temperature at noon as:

\bigtriangleup =t_o-t_n\\4.4=X--2.5\\\\X=4.4-2.5\\\\=1.5\textdegree C

Hence, the temperature at noon was 1.9°C
