Cups of flour=15 3/4=15+ 3/4=(4*15+3)/4=63/4
Cups of sugar=10 1/2=(2*10+1)/2=21/2
We solve this problem by rule of 3:
63/4 cups of flour--------------100 people
x------------------------------------ 25 people
x=(63/4 cups of flout * 25 people)/100 people=1575/400 cups of flour=
=63/16=(3*16+15)/16=3 15/16 cups of flour.
21/2 cups of sugar-----------------100 people
x-----------------------------------------25 people
x=(21/2 cups fo sugar * 25 people) / 100 people=525/200 cups of sugar= 21/8 =(2*8+ 5)/8=2 5/8 cups of sugar.
Answer: 3 15/16 cups of flour and 2 5/8 cups of sugar.
To solve any equation, you do whatever you need to do
to wind up with the unknown quantity all alone on one side.
BUT ... whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must
also do to the other side.
Here, we have the
he original equation: -15 = a/5
Multiply each side by 5 : -75 = a
and bada-bing, THERE's the solution !
.5
The graph would be bell shaped. So the odds are 50/50
so hmm the idea behind the elimination, is to make the value atop or below, of either variable, the same but with a negative sign
so hmmm say... we'll eliminate "y"
so... let's see, we have 2y and 5y, both positive
what do we multiply 2y to get a negative -5y, that way, -5y +5y = 0 and poof it goes
well let's see, let's try "k"
so.. if we multiply 2y by -5/2, we'll end up with -5y
well, let's multiply that first equation then by -5/2
so.. now we know x = 1.... so let's plug that in say hmmm 2nd equation
