So k in the first problem would =1/2
and i guess in the second problem just put k in place of the first space and in the second space put 8 for x. y would then =4. Idk if I did this right, though, I'm honestly a little confused too.
1/2 is the probability, or 50%. There are 4 teams of S and B n the Y, 2 are B. so its 2/4
2/5 tablespoons of vanilla extract ... 6 muffins
x tablespoons of vanilla extract = ? ... 18 muffins
If you would like to know how much vanilla extract does he need, you can calculate this using the following steps:
x * 6 = 18 * 2/5
x * 6 = 36/5 /6
x = 36/5 / 6
x = 6/5 = 1 1/5
Result: Arthur will need 1 1/5 tablespoons of vanilla extract for 18 muffins.
The answer is quite simple after looking at it. 0.1 is a tenth. 72 is a whole number, so you would have 72 1/10. 1/10 is a tenth and 72 is still the whole number.
Because without it the economy would fail :)
