Answer:

He can make only one batch of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just by mental math you can say he can make maximum one batch of cookies.

Total sugar = 10 cups

sugar used for lemonade = 2 cups

leftover sugar = 8 cups

For 1 batch of cookie sugar needed = 11/2

which means 5 and 1/2 cups

And he's just left with 8 cups of sugar after lemonade

8 - 5 1/2 = 2 1/2 which is not enough for 2nd batch

That means the maximum number of cookies batches is 1.

Another way to solve it by inequality:

2+Il/2 X < 10

11/2 X < 8

11X < 16

X < 1 6/11

So he can make only one batch of cookies.

1. Points A and B are to be mapped onto a number line according to two equations. The solution to the equation 2/3 A= -24 is the

OleMash [197]

The solution to the equation 2/3 A= -24 is the coordinate of point A.

2/3 A = -24
A = -24 / 2/3
A = -24 * 3/2
A = -72/2
A = -36

The solution to the equation 20=-b/0.5 is the coordinate of point B

20 = -b/0.5
20 * 0.5 = -b
10 = -b
10/-1 = -b/-1
-10 = b

A = -36 and B = -10

The distance between the two letters is 26 units.

Answer:

12a^2 - 9a + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5a^2 - 6a - 4) - (-7a^2 + 3a - 9)

5a^2 + 7a^2 = 12a^2

-6a - 3a = -9a

-4 + 9 = 5

12a^2 - 9a + 5

A typical middle-income household in 1980 earned $34,757. A similar household in 2009 earned $38,550. What was the relative incr

S_A_V [24]

Given conditions are :

In 1980's, a typical middle-income household earned= $34,757

In 2009, a similar middle-income household earned= $38,550

And we have to find relative increase in income for these households from 1980 to 2009.

So first we will find the total increase in amounts.

$38550-34757=3793$

Relative increase = $\frac{3793}{34757}*100$

= 10.91% or rounding it off we get approx 11%.

Hence, the answer is 11%.
