Step-by-step explanation:
A chef uses 2/3 cup of flour for every 1/8 cup of water in a dough recipe.
It means,
2/3 cup = 1/8 cup of water
Hence, the constant of proportionality is 0.1875.
Answer:
4/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
4/8 is the correct answer for this question. This is why. If you take 8 and divide it in half, your answer will be 4. Also because fractions are division so the fraction 8/2 equals 4. This means the 1/2 mark is equal to 4.
Answer:
Your answer for this is =1±√2

Step-by-step answer:
Given:
A triangle
Perimeter = 60 cm
longest side = 4* shortest side (x)
Solution:
longest side = 4x
shortest side = x
third (intermediate side = 60 -x -4x = 60-5x
The triangle inequality specifies that the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side to form a triangle. Hence
x + y > 4x
x + 60-5x > 4x
60 - 4x > 4x
8x < 60
x < 60/8 = 7.5, or
x < 7.5
Therefore to form a triangle, x (shortest side) must be less than 7.5 cm.
Examine the options: both 7 and 5 are both less than 7.5 cm.
40, 30 and 25 all have a problem because the longest side (4 times longer) will exceed the perimeter of 60.
Now also examine cases where 4x is NOT the longest side, in which case we need
4x>=y
or
4x >= 60-5x
9x >=60
x >= 6.67
so x=5 will not qualify, because 4x will no longer be the longest side.
The only valid option is x=7 cm
The side lengths for x=7 and x=5 are, respectively,
(7, 25, 28)
5, 20, 35 (in which case, the longest side is no longer 4x=20, so eliminated)
