<h3>Answer:  5 cakes</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Let's start off converting the mixed number 12 & 1/4 to an improper fraction.

a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12*4+1}{4}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{49}{4}\\\\

Do the same for the other mixed number 2 & 1/3.

a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2*3+1}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\\\\

-----------------------

From here, we divide the two fractions. I converted them to improper fractions to make the division process easier.

\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49}{4} \times \frac{3}{7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 7\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 3}{4}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{21}{4}\\\\

The last step is to convert that result to a mixed number.

\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5+1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 4+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{4}\\\\

Note that 21/4 = 5.25 and 1/4 = 0.25 to help check the answer.

-----------------------

Therefore, she can make 5 cakes. The fractional portion 1/4 is ignored since we're only considering whole cakes rather than partial ones.

If y varies directly as x, and y =15 as x= -3, find y for the x-value of 6.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the answer is -30.

Step-by-step explanation:

for each x-value, you will multiply it by -5 to get your y-value. i say this because if y-15 when x=-3, if you divide the x from y (so 15/-3) you get -5 which is the number in which y varies by. so you will take 6 and multiply it by -5 which gives you -30.

A car is designed to last an average of 12 years with a standard deviation of 0.8 years. What is the probability that a car will
Scorpion4ik [409]
Due to the common probability formula I can solve that task. Refering to the task you gave, we have all the information we need. We solve it like that: \frac{10-12}{0.8} = -2.5; Probability(-2.5)=.0.00621; Probability = 0.621%
So the answer is the first option <span>0.621%</span>
