Answer:

0.13 cm per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets convert the minutes to seconds:

3/4 minutes = 3/4(60) = 45 seconds

The snail traveled 5.85 cm in 45 seconds

To find out the speed per second, we set up a proportion:

\frac{5.85}{45} = \frac{x}{1}      where 45 and 1 represent the number of seconds, and 5.85 and x represent the distance in that set of time

Let's solve for x, or the distance in 1 second:

\frac{5.85}{45}=\frac{x}{1}\\\\\\\frac{5.85*1}{45x}\\\\\\x = \frac{5.85}{45}\\\\\\\\\\x = 0.13

The snail travels 0.13 cm per second.

Rachel uses 1/3 cup of oil for every cake she bakes. If she used 4 cups of oil one day, she made __ cakes. If she used 2 cups of
Leno4ka [110]

First answer: 12

Second answer: 6

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

How to get these answers

She uses 1/3 of a cup for 1 cake, so we have this ratio

1/3 cup : 1 cake

Multiply both sides by 3 and we end up with

1 cup : 3 cakes

Then multiply both sides by 4 to change "1 cup" to "4 cups" and we have

4 cups : 12 cakes which is the answer to the first part

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

For part 2, we'll follow the same steps as before, but instead of multiplying both sides by 4, we do 2 instead because we're dealing with 2 cups of oil.

1/3 cup : 1 cake

3*(1/3 cup) : 3*(1 cake)

1 cup : 3 cakes

2*(1 cup) : 2*(3 cakes)

2 cups : 6 cakes which is the answer to the second part
