Answer:
3.75 cups of baking soda are needed to make 2 and 1/2 batches of the cleaning product
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a rule of three.
A recipe says that 1 and 3/4 cups of baking soda are needed to make one batch of a homemade cleaning product.
1 + 3/4 cups = 1 + 0.75 = 1.75 cups for one batch.
How many total cups of baking soda are needed to make 2 and 1/2 batches of the cleaning product?
2 and 1/2 batches is 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 batches.
1.75 cups for one batch. How many cups for 2.5 batches? So
1 batch - 1.5 cups
2.5 batches - x cups
c = 2.5*1.5 = 3.75
3.75 cups of baking soda are needed to make 2 and 1/2 batches of the cleaning product
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
if xz is 15 and xy is 10 then we can infer that z is 10 and x is 5
First, we need to turn this into an improper fraction. Therefore we have: 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 4 3/4 = 19/4
Now we multiply across and eliminate as needed.
5/4 * 19/4 = 95/16
Finally, we reduce and convert to a mixed fraction.
16 goes into 95, 5 times with a remainder of 15. Therefore, we can conclude that our answer is: 5 15/16.
