Answer:

6 1/4 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

24/2 = 12

2.5/2 = 1.25

12 x 5 = 60

1.25 x 5 = 6.25 cups

For every 24 cookies Markes needs 2.5 cups of flour. So, for 12 cookies he needs half of that which is 1.25 cups. 12 is a fifth of 60, so we multiply 1.25 by 5 which gives us 6.25 cups of flour. :D

How many times larger then 2x10² is 2x10⁸

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1,000,000 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x $10^{8}$ = 200,000,000

2 x $10^{2}$ = 200

200,000,000 divided by 200 is 1,000,000

It can also be solved by subtracting the exponents from 10. Then dividing the two number being put the scientific notation.

$10^{8} - 10^{2}$ = $10^{6$

2 ÷ 2 = 1

Now solve:

1 x $10^{6$ = 1,000,000

And a wildlife preserve 46 ducks are captured tagged and then released. Later to her ducks are examined in four of the 200 ducks

docker41 [41]

Answer:

2300

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Out of 200 , four ducks are tagged.

We have to find the number of ducks in the preserve if 46 ducks are tagged.

Let x be the number of ducks in the preserve.

If number of tagged ducks increases then number of preserved ducks also increases.It is in direct proportion.

According to question

$\frac{x}{46}=\frac{200}{4}$

$x=\frac{200\times 46}{4}$

$x=50\times 46$

x=2300

Is the sum of any two numbers is greater than the larger of the two numbers?

rjkz [21]

Answer: Yes the sum of any two numbers is greater than the larger of the two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes the sum of any two numbers is greater than the larger of the two numbers.

Let us assume that the two numbers are a and b and ab is the number.

a + b > a

b > a – a

b > 0

This therefore implies that b > 0.

This may however not be true when the value of b is zero(0) or a negative number.
