Hi there!
We know that the snail lives 1 x 1/2 feet in 3 x 3/4 hours. First you have to simplify or solve the expressions. 1 x 1/2 is equal to 1/2 and 3 x 3/4 is 9/4 or 2.25 in decimal form.
You need to divide 2.25 by 1/2 or 0.5 which is 4.5.
So the snail moves 4.5 or 9/2 feet per hour.
Hope this helps !
Answer:
3/8 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 tablespoons of sugar = 1/16 * 2 = 1/8 cup of sugar.
1/2 cup = 4/8 cups.
So the extra sugar required = 4/8 - 1/8
= 3/8 cups.
Answer:
The ratio would be, 4 tablespoons of honey: 5 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 is the simplified version of 8/10, which is what we were first given
Answer:
The ratio of flour to sugar is 2:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f = weight of a bag of flour
Let s = weight of a bag of sugar
3f+2s = 32
4f = 32
We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, we can solve
4f=32
Divide by 4
4f/4 = 32/4
f = 8
Each bag of flour weights 8 pounds
Substitute this back into the first equation
3(8) +2s = 32
24+2s = 32
Subtract 24 from each side
24-24 +2s =32-24
2s = 8
Divide by 2
2s/2 = 8/2
s = 4 pounds
Flours weighs 8 pounds and sugar weights 4 pounds
We want the ratio of flour to sugar
Flour: sugar
8:4
We can divide each side by 4
8/4: 4/4
2:1
