Answer:
<em>The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fraction of Portion</u>
Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.
For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.
Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:
The division can be easier performed by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:
The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9
For example:
x+2y=7
6x+7y=2
__________
x=7-2y *
6*(7-2y)+7y=2 **
__________
x=7-2y
42-12y+7y=2
__________
x=7-2y
-5y=-40
__________
x=7-2y
y=8
x=-9
N=number
A: n divided by 7 minus 10
B: n times 7 minus 10
C: 10 divided by 7 minus n
D: n divided by 7 minus 10
