Susan was supposed to use 5/4 of a cup of butter

in her recipe, but she only used 3/4 of a cup of butter.


a. What fraction of the butter that she should

have used did Susan actually use? Make a

math drawing to help you solve this problem

and explain your solution.


b. Describe the different unit amounts that occur

in part (a). Discuss how one amount can be de-

scribed with two different fractions depending

on what the unit amount is taken to be.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a.\ \dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see the fractions [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of cups.

It can be seen that denominator has 4 i.e. the fraction [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

Let us suppose, a unit is equal to [tex]\frac{1}4[/tex] of a cup.

Susan was supposed to use [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] of a cup.

i.e. 5 units of butter was to be used.

But, actual recipe has only 3 units of butter.

[tex]\text{Fraction of butter used} = \dfrac{\text{Units of butter used}}{\text{Unit of butter Susan was supposed to use}}[/tex]

a. [tex]\text{Fraction of butter used} = \dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Alternatively, we could have directly divided the given fractions:

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{5}{4}} = \dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Answer 2
Part A:

The fraction of the butter that she should have used did Susan actually use is :

Fractions =5/4 and 3/4 of cups.

Denominator = 4 i.e. the fraction 1/4

Let us suppose,

A unit is equal to 1/4 of a cup.

Susan was supposed to use 5/4 of a cup.

5 units of butter was to be used.

But, actual recipe has only 3 units of butter.

Fraction of butter used=unit of butter used/unit of butter                        

                                                                 that was supposed to      

                                                                         be use

                                        =3/4/5/4

                                        =3/5

The fraction of the butter that she should have been used is 3/5.

On Monday, your bank account balance was −$12.90. Because you didn't realize this, you wrote a check for $30.39 for groceries.

Answers

Answer:

$17.49

Step-by-step explanation: You need to subtract $30.39 by $12.90

$30.39

-$12.90

First, its 9 - 0 which will = 9.

Then, 3 - 9. but you can do that so you have to make the 3 in 30, into a 2 then make the 0 in 30 a ten, then make that 10 into a 9, then make the 3 into 13.

So 13 - 9 = 4.

Now you have 9 - 2. Which will = 7.

Last, its 2 - 1 which will = 1.

so after all of that you get: $17.49

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the balance, take the old balance and subtract the amount spent on groceries.  next u have to minues -12.90 from 30.39 =17.49

An element with mass 640 grams decays by 7.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 8 minutes to the nearest 10th of a gram?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  349.0 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount remaining can be modeled by an exponential function of the form ...

  remaining = (initial amount)(1 - decay rate)^t

  q(t) = 640(1 -0.073)^t

  q(8) = 640(0.927^8) ≈ 349.0 . . . grams

The amount remaining after 8 minutes is about 349.0 grams.

when you multiply the x number in the table c by 0.3 you get the same answer as the one in the y column. The constant of proportionality  is the value that stays constant in the ratio. Since when you multiply each number in the x column by 0.3 and you always get the number in the y column it shows that the table c is correct.

Wait, wait. I know what you are saying. 36 − 9 is not exactly a difficult math problem, it is 27. Yes you are correct; however, 36 − 9 is going to serve as a proof that the Difference of Squares is valid regardless of what x and y are.

36 − 9

62 − 32

This looks exactly like the Difference of Squares, x2 − y2. So substitute 6 and 3 in for x and y.

In? gambling, the chances of winning are often written in terms of odds rather than probabilities. The odds of winning is the ratio of the number of successful outcomes to the number of unsuccessful outcomes. The odds of losing is the ratio of the number of unsuccessful outcomes to the number of successful outcomes. For? example, if the number of successful outcomes is 2 and the number of unsuccessful outcomes is? 3, the odds of winning are 2:3(Note; if the odds of winning are 2/3, the propability of sucess is2/5)

The odds of event occuring are 1:6. Find (a) the propability that the event will occur,(b) propability that the event will not occur.

(a)The propability that event will occur is....(TYPE AN INTEGER OR DECIMAL ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST THOUSANDTH AS NEEDED.)

(b)The propability thet the event will not occur is...(TYPE AN INTEGER OR DECIMAL ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST THOUSANDTH AS NEEDED)

Answers

Answer:

A) The probability that the event will occur[tex]=\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

B)The probability that the event will not occur = [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The odds of event occurring are 1:6.

So, Number of successful events = 1

Number of unsuccessful events = 6

So, Total events = 6+1=7

a)the probability that the event will occur=[tex]\frac{\text{Favorable event}}{\text{Total event}}[/tex]

The probability that the event will occur[tex]=\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

b)The probability that the event will not occur =[tex]\frac{\text{Favorable event}}{\text{Total event}}[/tex]

The probability that the event will not occur = [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

Measure of first angle = 101°

Measure of second angle = 38°

Measure of third angle = x

[tex]101 + 38 + x = 180[/tex]

Antonio thinks that since the price both rises and falls by 10%, the price of a gallon of gas is back to $4.00. His teacher tells him that he is incorrect. Explain why Antonio's reasoning is incorrect. (1 point) Determine the price of a gallon of gas after the 10% rise and 10% fall. (1 point) Total of 2 points. *

Answers

Answer:

Antonio is wrong because 10% of 4.00 is .40 and if the price goes up then the price is $4.40 and since the price is going down by ten percent, ten percent if $4.40 is .44 and therefore the price is $3.96.
