Answer:
- Both are terminating decimals
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Answer to your questions:</u>
- First of all, both A and B are correct and both quotients are terminating decimals.
- To find out if the decimal is terminating or not, multiply the quotient by divisor. If you get exactly the same number as dividend, then it is terminating otherwise it is non-terminating.
- The fraction may have greater numerator than denominator, in this case the quotient will be greater than one.
- Now regarding simplification. You would be asked to give an answer rounded to some extend. One decimal place, two decimal places, 3 significant numbers etc. For the first operation you would get 34.8 (rounded to nearest tenth).
- Or you may be asked to have a best estimated result. In this case you would round the initial numbers and find results. 205/714 ≈ 0.29

Answer:
replace recipe quantities:
1/4 ⇒ 5/8; 1/2 ⇒ 1 1/4; 1 ⇒ 2 1/2; 1 1/2 ⇒ 3 3/4; 2 ⇒ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given recipe serves 4, so must be multiplied by 10/4 = 5/2 to make it make 10 servings.
The numbers in the recipe (ignoring units or ingredients) are ...
1/4, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2
Each of these numbers needs to be multiplied by 5/2 to get the number for the larger recipe.
1/4 × 5/2 = 5/8
1/2 × 5/2 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
1 × 5/2 = 5/2 = 2 1/2
(1 1/2) × 5/2 = 3/2 × 5/2 = 15/4 = 3 3/4
2 × 5/2 = 5
Then, to make the larger recipe, rewrite it with the quantities replaced as follows:
old value ⇒ new value
1/4 ⇒ 5/8
1/2 ⇒ 1 1/4
1 ⇒ 2 1/2
1 1/2 ⇒ 3 3/4
2 ⇒ 5
__
For example, 1 1/2 lbs of fresh tomatoes ⇒ 3 3/4 lbs of fresh tomatoes

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you actually want to create the recipe, you may find it convenient to use a spreadsheet to list quantities, units, and ingredient names. Then you can add a column for the quantities for a different number of servings, and let the spreadsheet figure the new amounts. (A spreadsheet will compute quantities in decimal, so you will need to be familiar with the conversions to fractions--or use metric quantities.)
If your answer was d) 3.6 , then you are correct!
We will need an image but i am happy to change my answer with the correct answer as soon as we have what we need
