<em>The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fraction of Portion</u>
Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.
For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.
Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:
The division can be easier performed by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:
The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to round to the nearest thousandth, you must observe the digit to the right of the digit in the thousandth place and then:
- If it is less than 5, you must round down.
- If it is greater than or equal than 5, you must round up.
In this case, given the number:
You can notice that the digit to the right of the digit in the thousandth place is 9.
Since , you must round up. Then:
Finally, to express this as a single-digit times a power of ten, move the decimal point three places to the right. Then you get:
