Answer:

(a) 306 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sugar to the total is ...

sugar : (sugar + butter) = (2 1/4) : (2 1/4 + 3/8)

= (18/8) : (18/8 +3/8) = 18 : 21 = 6 : 7

Then the amount of sugar in the baker's initial is ...

(6/7) × 357 = 306 . . . . pounds

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you realize that 2 1/4 is much more than 3/8, then you realize most of the mix is sugar. Of the answer choices, the only one that is most of 357 pounds is the first one: 306 pounds. That is the correct choice. In other words, your sense of the quantities involved is sufficient to answer the question, without any math.

Solar Impulse 2 is covered in 269.5 square meters of solar cells. Each cell is 150 square centimeters. How many solar cells are

Alik [6]

Area covered by the solar cells = 269.5 m^2

Area of one cell = 150 cm^2

Convert the area of one cell to m^2 by using the conversion factor 1m^2 = (100cm)^2 => 1 = 1m^2 / 1000 cm^2

=> 150 cm^2 * [1m^2 / 1000 cm^2] = 0.150 m^2

Now finf the number of times that 0.150 is contained in 269.5 by dividing 269.5 by 0.150

269.5 = 0.150 = 1,796.67

Which means that the number of cells is betwee 1796 and 1797.
