Answers:
A. 1c/2lb
B. 8 cups of dressing
SOLUTION
Given that a catering company’s recipe for Salad uses a
ratio of 2c of dressing to 4 lb of vegetables
A. Write a ratio of dressing to vegetables as a reduced
fraction
A reduced fraction is the expression of a ratio in its simplest
fractional form
Dressing: Vegetable = 2c : 4 lb
In fractional form,
2c/4lb
2 is a common factor to both numerator and denominator
Therefore, in reduced fractional form,
2c/4lb = 1c/2lb
Therefore, ratio of dressing to vegetables as a reduced
fraction is 1c/2lb
B. How many cups of dressing would they need for 16 lb of
vegetables
1c = 2lb
16lb = ?
Since 1c = 2lb
2lb = 1c
1lb = 1/2 c
16lb = 16(1/2)c
16lb = 8c
Therefore, they would need 8 cups of dressing for 16 lb of
vegetables
Answer:
<em></em>
<em>The team must win 2 games to have a win : loss ratio o 2.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
- <u>Ratio win : loss, r</u>:
r = total wins / total losses
Call n the number of new wins:
Tw =number of wins until so far + number of new win = 6 + n
Tl = number of losses so far + number of new losses = 4 + 0 = 4
r = 2 ⇒ Tw / Tl = (6 + n) / 4 = 2
Solve for n:
- (6 + n ) = 4 × 2
- 6 + n = 8
- n = 8 - 6
- n = 2
Hence,<em> the team must win 6 more games.</em>
- <u>Verification</u>: (6 + 2 ) / 4 = 8 / 4 = 2, which is the target ratio.
Answer:Such sequences can be expressed in terms of the nth term of the sequence. In this case, the nth term = 2n. To find the 1st term, put n = 1 into the formula, to find the 4th term, replace the n's by 4's: 4th term = 2 × 4 = 8
