Answer:
Improper fraction = 10/3 cups
Mixed fraction = 3 1/3 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies
Rate = 2/3 cup per batch
To make 5 batches, he would need;
Amount = number of batches × rate per batch
Amount = 5 batches × 2/3 cups per batch
Amount of sugar he would need = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups
Answer:
60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.
takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>
LCM (20, 30) = 60
<u>To find the efficiency </u>
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
x = 60/30 =2
x + y = 60 /20 = 3
Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1
so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes
Since 5/3 is an inproper fraction it then becomes 1 2/3 and if you put both of the fractions into a common denominator you get 1 16/24>15/24
