Answer:

See below ↓

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies

Base rate

no. of butter sticks / no. of cookies
3 / 24
1 stick of butter for every 8 cookies

16 cookies

No. of sticks = 16/8
No. of butter sticks = 2

5 butter sticks

No. of cookies = 8 x 5
No. of cookies = 40

Answer:

Sticks of butter : 2

Number of cookies : 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you bake.

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

Sticks of butter Number of cookies

3 24

x 16

5 y

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

Let the unknown be x and y..

Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back

Then 24/3 = 8

Since the number of cookies is 16 then 16/8 = 2

Thus x = 2

Next for y.

Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back

Then 5 * 8 = 40

Thus, y = 40

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

Completed table below:

Sticks of butter Number of cookies

3 24

2 16

5 40

Two semicircles are attached to the sides of a rectangle as shown.

melomori [17]

Answer:

$157\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of rectangle plus the area of two semicircles

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=14*5=70\ in^{2}$

The area of the small semicircle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2} /2$

$r=5/2=2.5\ in$ -----> radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=(3.14)(2.5^{2})/2=9.8125 in^{2}$

The area of the larger semicircle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2} /2$

$r=14/2=7\ in$ -----> radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=(3.14)(7^{2})/2=76.93\ in^{2}$

The area of the figure is equal to

$70+9.8125+76.93=156.7425=157\ in^{2}$

Solve each system of equations by writing a new system that eliminates one of the variables.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$x=33\\y=-41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$2x+y=25\hspace{5}(1)\\and\\4x+3y=9\hspace{5}(2)$

We need to eliminate one of the variables, so let's use elimination method. First multiply (1) by 2

$2*(1)\equiv\hspace{5}4x+2y=50$

Now subtract (2) from 2*(1) in order to eliminate x:

$2*(1)-(2)\\4x-4x+2y-3y=50-9\\-y=41$

Solving for y:

Multiplying both sides by -1

$y=-41$

Finally, replacing the value of y in (1)

$2x-41=25$

Solving for x:

add 41 to both sides:

$2x=66$

Multiply both sides by 1/2:

$x=\frac{66}{2} =33$

Find the number of tiles in the 57th figure. justify your answer using an algebraic expression

attashe74 [19]

3,365 tiles! the equation is always (x+1)^2 (squared) + 1 = Y. because y is the number of tiles and the x is whatever figure you’re on. but the figures start like #1 is a 2x2 instead of a 1x1 so 57th figure would not be 57x57 but 58x58. and then add 1 because there’s always that top left corner tile! if you appreciate my answer giving it brainliest is always appreciated!!
