a cake recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar. A caterer had 37 3/4 cups of sugar on hand. how many cakes can he make?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a ratio of number of cakes to cups of sugar, C:S

Then the ratio given is 1:2.5 which says 1 cake takes 2.5 cups of sugar. We want to know how many cakes, x, will be made with 37.75 ups of flour:

[tex]\frac{1}{2.5}=\frac{x}{37.75}[/tex] and cross multiply to solve:

2.5x = 37.75 so

x = 15.1 cakes or just 15 cakes (cuz you can't make one-tenth of a cake!)

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 3 = 12

5x=12+3

what is the coefficient of x in the equation of 32+2x=10
solve after finding the coefficient

Answers

Answer:

x= -11

Step-by-step explanation:

the coefficient is variable that appears before a number . bearing this in mind, the coefficient of x is therefore 2 .

the value of x is:

>32+2x=10

>2x=10-32

>2x= -22

>x= -11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient of x = 2

32 + 2x  = 10

Subtract 32 from both side

32 + 2x -32 = 10 - 32

              2x =  - 22

Divide both sides by 2

            2x/2 = -22/2

Answers

We need to simplify the left side first.

On the left side, all the terms can be combined.

So 4w - 3w + 2w is 3w.

So we have 3w = 24.

Next, dividing both sides by 3, we have w = 8.

So our solution is w = 8.

Answer

[tex] \boxed{ \huge{ \bold{ \sf{ \boxed{w = 8}}}}}[/tex]

[tex] \sf{4w - 3w + 2w = 24}[/tex]

Collect like terms

⇒[tex] \sf{3w = 24}[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{3w}{3} = \frac{24}{3} }[/tex]

Calculate

⇒[tex] \sf{w = 8}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

If there are 1500 students in your school then 960 students would enjoy watching TV

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We know that 64% of kids aged from 11 to 15 enjoy watching TV and there is 1500 students in your school

Step 2: We now want to find 64% of 1500, we can rewrite 64% as 0.64. We multiple 1500 by 0.64 to find out how many students enjoy watching TV

0.64 x 1500 = # of students who like watching TV

960 = # of students who like watching TV

Therefore out of 1500 students, 960 would enjoy watching TV

Basing on the description, a parabola checking with vertex at origin, the formula with vertex at origin can be used, x^2 = 4py. p is the focus therefore with the dimensions given, we get yourself a 0.25 and this is the distance of the focus to the vertex.

Terri graphed a system of linear inequalities. Which ordered pairs are a part of the solution set for this system of linear inequalities? Select two that apply.
(-1, 5)
(2, -4)
(7, -1)
(4, 6)
(5, 2)

Answers

Answer: (2, -4) and (7, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the solutions of the system of inequalities are all the points that lie on the blue shaded part of the graph or in the solid line.

So, in order to see if the points are solutions of the system, then you need to locate the point in the graph and see if it is inside the shaded region or in the solid line (only in the segment that "touches" the shaded region).

Now, we want to find the equation of the solid line, we can see that it passes through the points (0, 6) and (6, 0)

A linear relationship can be written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Then, in this case, the slope is:

a = (0 - 6)/(6 - 0) = -1.

And to find the value of b, we have that when x = 0, y = 6.

y = 6 = -1*0 + b

6 = b

The equation is:

y = -1*x + 6

(-1, 5) is not in the blue region nor in the solid line, so this is not a solution.

(7, - 1) this point is near the solid line, let's test it:

y(7) = -1*7 + 6 = -1

So the point (7, -1) is on the solid line, and is the other solution of the system.

B is the midpoint of AC. What is the value of x if AC = 52 and AB = 3x - 4

Answers

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint of AC then AB = BC = 3x - 4 and

AB + BC = AC , thus

3x - 4 + 3x - 4 = 52, that is

6x - 8 = 52 ( add 8 to both sides )

6x = 60 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 10

He didn’t approximate the center of the cluster located on the left side of the vertical line and of the cluster located on the right side of the vertical line.

He didn’t connect the centers of the clusters on the left side and right side of the vertical line to produce the line of best fit.

how they did this was they multiplied 3 by x and got 3x then they kept the subtraction sign that is in the parenthesis. Then they multiplied 3 by the 4 and got 12.

then the equation was 3x - 12/2 = 6

* 8. Evaluate Mahesh rides a bus to work. The number of minutes his daily
bus ride took over a two-week period are recorded below:
M T W Th F
Week 1 12 8 10 9 12
Week 2 8 7 12 9 10
a. Find the mean, median, mode, and range of the data.
b. Which measure would Mahesh use to describe how many minutes
the duration of his bus ride may differ from day to day?

Answers

a. From the data recorded for the number of minutes Mahesh bus ride took over a two-week period, Mean = 9.7 minutes, Median = 9.5 minutes, Mode = 12 minutes, Range = 5 minutes.

b. The measure Mahesh will use to describe how many minutes  the duration of his bus ride may differ from day to day is the range.

From the question,

The data for the first week are

Week 1: 12, 8, 10, 9, 12

and for the second week

Week 2: 8, 7, 12, 9, 10

Putting the data together, we have  

12, 8, 10, 9, 12, 8, 7, 12, 9, 10.

Now,

]a. To determine the mean of the above data,

Mean is the average of the numbers. The mean can be determined by adding up the numbers and then dividing by the count of the numbers.

From the above, we have 10 numbers

∴ [tex]Mean = \frac{12+8+10+9+12+8+7+12+9+10}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{97}{10}[/tex]

Mean = 9.7 minutes

For the median of the data

The median of a given set of numbers is the middle value when the numbers are sorted either in the ascending or descending order.

For the data 12, 8, 10, 9, 12, 8, 7, 12, 9, 10

Arranging in ascending order, we get

7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12.

Since we have two numbers (9 and 10) in the middle, the median can be determined by the finding the average of these numbers.  

∴ [tex]Median = \frac{9+10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{19}{2}[/tex]

Median = 9.5 minutes

For the mode of the data

The mode is the value that occurs most often.

From the data, 12 occurs most often (three times)

∴ Mode = 12 minutes

For the range of the data

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values.

From the data

Highest value = 12

Lowest value = 7

∴ Range = 12 - 7

Range = 5 minutes

b. For the measure Mahesh will use to describe how many minutes  the duration of his bus ride may differ from day to day.

Here, we are talking about measures of dispersion. The only measure of dispersion from above is range.

∴ The measure Mahesh will use to describe how many minutes  the duration of his bus ride may differ from day to day is the range.

Hence,

From the data recorded for the number of minutes Mahesh bus ride took over a two-week period, Mean = 9.7 minutes, Median = 9.5 minutes, Mode = 12 minutes, Range = 5 minutes

and the  measure Mahesh will use to describe how many minutes  the duration of his bus ride may differ from day to day is the range.
