alA baker bought 4 gallons of icing to decorate cakes. He uses 4 1/2 cups of icing for completely Frost and decorate each cake.

kow [346]

Answer: 14 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Number of gallons the baker has: $4 gallons \frac{16 cups}{1 gallon}=64 cups$

Number of cups the baker used for one cake: $4,5 cups$

Now, we can use the Rule of three to find the maximum number of cakes the baker can completely decorate:

$4.5 cups$ ----- $1 cake$

$64 cups$ ----- $?$

Then:

$?=\frac{(64 cups)(1 cake)}{4.5 cups}$

$?=14,2 cakes \approx 14 cakes$

Which of the following cannot be rewritten in the form f(x) = ax where "a" is a rational number?

MaRussiya [10]

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers. The number 8 is a rational number<span> because it can be written as the fraction 8/1.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

PLEASE HELP ME! WILL GIVE **BRAINLIEST**

Answer:

See attached. (Note that b, d, f, h, j are cents amounts. All the other letters refer to the dollar amounts only (no cents).)

Step-by-step explanation:

The one deposit is marked with a (+) in the third column of Figure 4.16a. All the other transactions are Payment/Debit transactions. The balance on each line is the balance on the previous line less any payment and plus any deposit on that line. (It's not rocket science.)

If you actually do this in a spreadsheet, it is convenient to let the spreadsheet do the math. It is much easier to let the spreadsheet keep track of dollars and cents in the same column.

It is more difficult to break out cents to a separate column. So, your letter answers apparently need to be the dollar portion only (except as indicated above).
