Answer:

2/5 cups oats per cup water
2.5 cups water per cup oats

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the fraction is the unit you want 1 of.

(6 cups oats)/(15 cups water) = (6/15) cups oats/(1 cup water)

= (2/5 cups oats)/(1 cup water)

1 cup of water would need 2/5 cups of oats.

Obviously, the other ratio is the reciprocal of this.

(1 cup water)/(2/5 cups oats) = (5/2 cups water)/(1 cup oats)

1 cup of oats would need 2.5 cups of water

Let point L be between M and N on MN. Given that MN=31, ML= h-15 and LN = 2h-8. Find LN.

shtirl [24]

Given that point L is between M and N on MN. Then
MN = ML + LN
31 = h - 15 + 2h - 8 = 3h - 23
3h = 31 + 23 = 54
h = 54/3 = 18

Therefore, LN = 2(18) - 8 = 36 - 8 = 28.

Please help!!! ill mark brainliest

Vesnalui [34]

3x - 1 = 3x + 1

subtract 3x from both sides to get (-1 = 1). This is a false statement so it is: CONTRADICTION

************************************************

4x - 11 = 7

add 11 to both sides and then divide both sides by 4 to get $(x = \frac{18}{4} = \frac{9}{2})$ . This statement is true only when x = $\frac{9}{2}$ so it is: CONDITIONAL

*************************************************

2 - 8x = 2 - 8x

add 8x to both sides to get (2 = 2). This is a true statement so it is: IDENTITY

*************************************************

x + 1 = -x + 4

add x to both sides, subtract 1 from both sides, and divide both sides by 2 to get $(x = \frac{3}{2} )$ . This statement is true only when x = $\frac{3}{2}$ so it is: CONDITIONAL

Answer: B, A, C, A

I am having a conflict with my family what is 7-1×0+3÷3 = ?

ryzh [129]

Follow PEMDAS.

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication & Division
Addition & Subtraction

Alright, do multiplication first, then division. Then, do subtraction then addition.

$7-1*0+3/3= \\ 7-0+3/3= \\ 7 - 0 + 1= \\ 7 + 1 = 8 \\ 7-1*0+3/3 =8$

Hope this helped!

M - 37 = 56 jack has 56 marbles Kyle has 37 fewer than jack

Goshia [24]

Do we have to solve for M if so, the answer is

m-37 = 56

m =56 + 37

m = 93

hope it's helpful
