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.

The clean up hitter on a baseball tean batted 1/4 of the runs the team scored. The hitter batted in 5 runs. Select the equation
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A. \frac{1}{4}n=5

The solution is: n=20

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- The hitter batted \frac{1}{4} of the runs the team scored.

- The hitter batted in 5 runs.

2. If n is the number of run the team scored, then \frac{1}{4} of n must be equal to five runs batted by the hitter. Therefore, the equation is:

\frac{1}{4}n=5

3. Solve for n, as following:

\frac{1}{4}n=5\\n=(5)(4)\\n=20

so

using proportion

Find out the dimension in the drawing corresponding to a 14 feet wide in the actual

\frac{(1/4)}{1}\ \frac{in}{ft}=\frac{x}{14}\ \frac{in}{ft}\\\\x=14(1/4)\\\\x= 3.5\ in
