The given partial fraction divided by the fraction of sugar in a scoop is

equal to multiplying the partial fraction by the reciprocal of the fraction.

  • The number of scoops of sugar needed is <u>10 scoops</u>.

Reasons:

The amount of sugar the recipe Emma is making needs = 2 1/2 cups

Amount of sugar in each scoop of sugar = 1/4 cups

Required:

The amount of scoops Emma needs to add for the entire recipe

Solution:

The amount of sugar needed = 2 1/2 cups

Amount of sugar per scoop = 1/4 cups/scoop

Therefore;

  • \displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops = \mathbf{\frac{Cups \ of \ sugar \ needed}{Cups \ of \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}

Which gives;

  • \displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed  = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2}  \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \  cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}

\displaystyle  2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

\displaystyle \frac{ \frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} } =  \mathbf{ \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{20}{2 }} = 10

Therefore;

\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed  = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2}  \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \  cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}} = 10 \, scoops

The number of scoops she needs for the entire recipe is <u>10 scoops</u>

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes though points (-1,2) and (5,2)?
Tom [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of the line. first calculate the slope using the slope formula.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{2-2}{5--1}= \frac{0}{6} = 0

Since the slope of this line is 0, it is horizontal and has the form y=b where b is the y-coordinate. So y = 2 is the equation. In general form, it would be y-2 = 0
