<span>A) How many cups of flour are there per serving?

</span>1 ½ cups of flour --------<span>6 servings
? cups of flour ------- 1 serving

</span>1 ½

= 3/2 x 1/6
= 1/4

answer: 1/4 cups of flour per serving

<span>B) how many total cups of sugar(white and brown) are there per serving?
</span>total white and brown: <span>2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1 cups (combine)

answer: 1/6 cups of sugar (white and brown) 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?

3/2 cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour -----------9 servings

9 * 3/2

2 1/4 ( 9 servings) - 1 1/2(6 servings) = 3/4 cups

answer: you need 3/4 more cups of flour

To find the average of numbers you have to add all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers. *confusing*

25 + 25.4 + 25.35 + 26.1 = 101.85

101.85 ÷ 4 = 25.4625

For the given set, first calculate the number of subsets for the set, then calculate the number of proper subsets. {18, 8, 14, 9

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Subsets of the given set = 32

Proper subset of the given set = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given set is {18, 8, 14, 9, 6} having 5 elements.

We know number of subsets of a set having n elements are represented by

$2^{n}$

where n is the number of elements in the set.

Therefore, subsets of the given set = $2^{5}$

= 32

Since original set itself is a subset of its own, is not a proper subset.

Therefore, proper subset of a set = $2^{n}-1$

= $2^{5}-1$

= 32 - 1

= 31

How many pounds of a 15% copper alloy must be mixed with 700lb of a 30% copper alloy to maybe a 25.5% copper alloy

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$300\; \rm lb$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ represent the mass (in pounds) of that $15\%$ copper alloy required, such that the final mixture would contain $25.5\%$ copper by mass.

Consider: if $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy is mixed with $700$ pounds that $30\%$ copper alloy, what would be the mass of copper in the mixture?

Mass of copper in $x$ pounds of that $15\%$ copper alloy: $(0.15\, x)\; \rm lb$ .
Mass of copper in $700$ pounds of that $30\%$ copper alloy: $700 \times 0.30 = 210\; \rm lb$ .

Therefore, the mixture would contain $(210 + 0.15\, x) \; \rm lb$ of copper.

The mass of that mixture would be $(700 + x)\; \rm lb$ . The mass fraction of copper in that mixture would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\%$ .

This ratio is supposed to be equal to $25.5\%$ . These two pieces of equations combine to give an equation about $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\% = 25.5\%$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{210 + 0.15\, x}{700 + x} = 0.255$ .

Simplify and solve for $x$ :

$210 + 0.15\, x= 0.255\, (700 + x)$ .

$(0.255 - 0.15)\, x= 210 - 0.255 \times 700$ .

$\displaystyle x = \frac{210 - 0.255 \times 700}{0.255 - 0.15} = 300$ .

Therefore, $300\; \rm lb$ of that $15\%$ alloy would be required.
