1160 dollars if you take 5/6 away from 1200 you get 40 subtract 40 from 1200 and you get your answer
-1/4 + f/8 = 1/2.
The LCD is 8. Rewrite this equation as -8/4 + 8f/8 = 8(1/2) and then reduce the result:
-2 + f = =4
Then f = 6.
You should check this result.
Going upstream: 432 km / 6 hours = 72 km/h
Going downstream: 384 km / 4 hours = 96 km/h
Going upstream against the current means that the effective speed is:
r_boat - r_current = 72
Meanwhile, going downstream with the current means;
r_boat + r_current = 96
Adding both equations (to cancel out r_current) gives:
2r_boat = 72 + 96
r_boat = 84 km/h
Substituting back into one of the original equations: r_current = 12 km/h.
<span>A) How many cups of flour are there per serving?

<span> (c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe?
</span>
3/2 cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour -----------9 servings
9 * 3/2
-----------
6
= (13 1/2) / 6
= 2 1/4
2 1/4 ( 9 servings) - 1 1/2(6 servings) = 3/4 cups
answer: you need 3/4 more cups of flour
