A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour to make 2 batches of dinner rolls. One batch makes 15 rolls. Laura is making dinner for 12 pe

ople and only needs one roll per person.
What proportion will help Laura find how much flour is needed to make 12 dinner rolls?
A. 3/30 = x/12
B. 3/2 = x/12
C. 3/15 = x/12
D. 12/15 = x/3

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

3 cups of flour produces 2 batches of dinner rolls. So, if one batch makes 15 rolls, then 2 batches makes 30 rolls. Therefore, 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls.

Laura wants to find how much flour she needs to make 12 rolls.

Here's the setup:

Let x be the number of cups of flour needed. Then,

(3 cups of flour)/(30 rolls)=(x cups of flour)/(12 rolls)

This is the set up for all equations involving ratios. The units should be consistent. Notice how I have flour/rolls=flour/rolls.

It is not necessary to solve the equation, but you should to make sure your answer makes sense. By cross-multiplying, we get x=(3*12)/30 or 1.2 cups.

This solution makes sense. Because 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls, one cup produces 10 rolls. We need slightly more than 1 cup to get 12 rolls.

Compute the sum:
Nady [450]
You could use perturbation method to calculate this sum. Let's start from:

S_n=\sum\limits_{k=0}^nk!\\\\\\\(1)\qquad\boxed{S_{n+1}=S_n+(n+1)!}

On the other hand, we have:

S_{n+1}=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n+1}k!=0!+\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n+1}k!=1+\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n+1}k!=1+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k+1)!=\\\\\\=1+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k!(k+1)=1+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k\cdot k!+k!)=1+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k\cdot k!+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k!\\\\\\(2)\qquad \boxed{S_{n+1}=1+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k\cdot k!+S_n}

So from (1) and (2) we have:

\begin{cases}S_{n+1}=S_n+(n+1)!\\\\S_{n+1}=1+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k\cdot k!+S_n\end{cases}\\\\\\
S_n+(n+1)!=1+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k\cdot k!+S_n\\\\\\
(\star)\qquad\boxed{\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k\cdot k!=(n+1)!-1}

Now, let's try to calculate sum \sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}k\cdot k!, but this time we use perturbation method.

S_n=\sum\limits_{k=0}^nk\cdot k!\\\\\\
\boxed{S_{n+1}=S_n+(n+1)(n+1)!}\\\\\\


but:

S_{n+1}=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n+1}k\cdot k!=0\cdot0!+\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n+1}k\cdot k!=0+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k+1)(k+1)!=\\\\\\=
\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k+1)(k+1)k!=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+2k+1)k!=\\\\\\=
\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}\left[(k^2+1)k!+2k\cdot k!\right]=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+1)k!+\sum\limits_{k=0}^n2k\cdot k!=\\\\\\=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+1)k!+2\sum\limits_{k=0}^nk\cdot k!=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+1)k!+2S_n\\\\\\
\boxed{S_{n+1}=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+1)k!+2S_n}

When we join both equation there will be:

\begin{cases}S_{n+1}=S_n+(n+1)(n+1)!\\\\S_{n+1}=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+1)k!+2S_n\end{cases}\\\\\\
S_n+(n+1)(n+1)!=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+1)k!+2S_n\\\\\\\\
\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(k^2+1)k!=S_n-2S_n+(n+1)(n+1)!=(n+1)(n+1)!-S_n=\\\\\\=
(n+1)(n+1)!-\sum\limits_{k=0}^nk\cdot k!\stackrel{(\star)}{=}(n+1)(n+1)!-[(n+1)!-1]=\\\\\\=(n+1)(n+1)!-(n+1)!+1=(n+1)!\cdot[n+1-1]+1=\\\\\\=
n(n+1)!+1

So the answer is:

\boxed{\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n}(1+k^2)k!=n(n+1)!+1}

Sorry for my bad english, but i hope it won't be a big problem :)

Which is a solution to (x-2)(x+10)=13
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

make An equation for both of the numbers in the parentheses .

Step-by-step explanation:

this is how it should look x -2 would be x =15, because you add 2 on both sides , now you have x=15 which should be the answer because 15 is now x and 15 minus 2 = 13

now for the second one

first subtract 10 on both sides then you should get the answer X equals three the reason why it’s like that is because 3 is now x and 3 + 10 = 13.

Hope this helped have a good day :D

Parsons Bank offers two​ checking-account plans. The No Frills plan charges 35cents per check whereas the Simple Checking plan c
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

No frills = $0.25(x)

simple = $6 + $0.05(x)

set equal to each other

0.025(x) = 6 + 0.05(x)

rearrange like terms together

0.025(x) - 0.05(x) = 6

0.020(x) = 6

x =300

Simple plan will be cheaper once you use more than 300 checks

Solve for x. 25 - 3x = -5(1 - x) - 2x
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

25 - 3x = -5(1 - x) - 2x

<u></u>

<u>We have to first get rid of the parenthesis:</u>

-5 * 1  ==>  -5

-5 * -x  ==>  5x

<u>So now you should have:</u>

25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x

<u>Combine like terms:</u>

25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x

25 - 3x = -5 + 3x

<u>Add 3x to both sides:</u>

25 - 3x  =  -5 + 3x

    + 3x  =      + 3x

<u>And you should have:</u>

25 = -5 + 6x

<u></u>

<u>Add 5 to both sides:</u>

25 = -5 + 6x

+5 = +5

30 = 6x

<u>Divide 6 to both sides:</u>

\frac{30}{6}     =      \frac{6x}{6}

5 = x
