Answer:
2 cakes with the sugar she has and there will still be some sugar left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of sugar in the cabinet of Cassie = 1/2 pound
Amount of sugar required by Cassie to make her cake recipe = 2/10 pound
= 1/5 pounds
Then
The number of cakes that Cassie can make = (1/2)/(1/5)
= 5/2
= 2 1/2
Answer:
a) Shawn's error was that he Multiplied 15 by 2x only. He didn't Multiply 15 by 7
b) The difference, in square feet, between the actual area of Shawn’s garden and the area found using his expression is given as
98 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area in, square feet, of Shawn’s garden is found be calculating 15(2x + 7). Shawn incorrectly says the area can also be found using the expression 30x + 7.
The correct area =
15(2x + 7).
= 30x + 105 square feet
The error in Shawn’s expression is
= 15(2x + 7)
= 30x + 7 square feet
Shawn's error was that he Multiplied 15 by 2x only. He didn't Multiply 15 by 7
The difference, in square feet, between the actual area of Shawn’s garden and the area found using his expression is given as
30x + 105 square feet - 30x + 7 square feet
= 30x + 105 - (30x + 7)
= 30x - 30x + 105 - 7
= 98 square feet
The answer is obviously 2
