A baker is making bread dough. He uses 3 cups of flour for every 8 ounces of water. How many cups of flour will he use if he use

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the fraction we use to solve this problem $\frac{Ounces}{Flour}$

Fractions are $\frac{8}{3}$ and $\frac{96}{x}$

We now ask ourselves

$8 * x = 96\\x = 12$

Since whatever we do to the numerator we have to to the same to the denominator, we multiply 3 and 12

$3 * 12 = x\\x = 36$

Hope this helps!

Solve the system. <br> y= -2x + 1<br><br> y= 2x - 3

Neporo4naja [7]

Equation 1: y = -2x + 1

Equation 2: y = 2x - 3

Since both equations already have y isolated, we are able to simply set the right side of both equations equal to each other. Since we know that the value of y must be the same, we can do this.

-2x + 1 = 2x - 3

1 = 4x - 3

4 = 4x

x = 1

Then, we need to plug our value of x back into either of the original two equations and solve for y. I will be plugging x back into equation 2 above.

y = 2x - 3

y = 2(1) - 3

y = 2 - 3

y = -1

Hope this helps!! :)

Simplify this please

Answer:

$\frac{12q^{\frac{7}{3}}}{p^{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some rules you need to simplify this expression:

Distribute exponents: When you raise an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together. This includes exponents that are fractions. $(a^{x})^{n} = a^{xn}$

Negative exponent rule: When an exponent is negative, you can make it positive by making the base a fraction. When the number is apart of a bigger fraction, you can move it to the other side (top/bottom). $a^{-x} = \frac{1}{a^{x}}$ , and to help with this question: $\frac{a^{-x}b}{1} = \frac{b}{a^{x}}$ .

Multiplying exponents with same base: When exponential numbers have the same base, you can combine them by adding their exponents together. $(a^{x})(a^{y}) = a^{x+y}$

Dividing exponents with same base: When exponential numbers have the same base, you can combine them by subtracting the exponents. $\frac{a^{x}}{a^{y}} = a^{x-y}$

Fractional exponents as a radical: When a number has an exponent that is a fraction, the numerator can remain the exponent, and the denominator becomes the index (example, index here ∛ is 3). $a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^{m}} = (\sqrt[n]{a})^{m}$

$\frac{(8p^{-6} q^{3})^{2/3}}{(27p^{3}q)^{-1/3}}$ Distribute exponent

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}p^{(-6*2/3)}q^{(3*2/3)}}{27^{(-1/3)}p^{(3*-1/3)}q^{(-1/3)}}$ Simplify each exponent by multiplying

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}p^{(-4)}q^{(2)}}{27^{(-1/3)}p^{(-1)}q^{(-1/3)}}$ Negative exponent rule

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}q^{(2)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(1/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ Combine the like terms in the numerator with the base "q"

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(2)}q^{(1/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ Rearranged for you to see the like terms

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(2)+(1/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ Multiplying exponents with same base

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(7/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ 2 + 1/3 = 7/3

$=\frac{\sqrt[3]{8^{2}}\sqrt[3]{27}p\sqrt[3]{q^{7}}}{p^{4}}$ Fractional exponents as radical form

$=\frac{(\sqrt[3]{64})(3)(p)(q^{\frac{7}{3}})}{p^{4}}$ Simplified cubes. Wrote brackets to lessen confusion. Notice the radical of a variable can't be simplified.
