The way the problem is stated, it is not very clear.
I assume the original recipe uses 80 g of cheese, and she increased it by 60%.
The increase is 60%, so we need to calculate 60% of 80 g.
60% of 80 g = 60% * 80 g = 0.60 * 80 g = 48 g
Answer: The recipe requires 48 g more cheese.
Answer:
The total weight of both suitcases is 53 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an expression that you can use to find the weight of the blue suitcase.
b = 3/4 * g - 10
Then explain how you can find the total weight of both suitcases if the green suitcase weighs 36 pounds.
b + g = 3/4 * g - 10 + g = 7/4 * g - 10 = 7/4 * 36 - 10 = 53 pounds
Since this question is asking for the unit rate of the cost per yard of fabric, think of this as a ratio and proportions question where 2.6:8.94 = 1:x (represents the cost per yard).
To solve, cross multiply to get 2.6x=8.94
Then, solve for x and you get about $3.44 per yard
The answer is:
C. The slope -3/5
Because -3/5 times 5 is -3 and when you combine -3 and 10 the answer is 7 and 7=7 (the y)
