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.

Each square in Figures D and E has a side length of 1 unit. Compare the area of the two figures. Which figure has more area? How much more? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Option B has more, if you want to have mathematical work just set each of the square side lengths to 1. In the first figure, you have 4 units square for each square so 2 units sq on the first and 4 on the second. Then since the other shapes are half circles or 1/4 circles we can put them together to get full and partial circles. The first shape had 2 full circles and the second shape has 1.5. SO using 1 as the radius, you get 3.14 units sq per circle. Leaving you with (circles) 6.28 + (squares) 2 leaving you with 8.28 units sq for figure 1 and (circles) 4.71  + (squares) 4 leaving you with 8.71 for figure 2. This leaves you with a .43 difference.

Answer:

The areas of all 3 shaded regions are equal: about 30.96 square units (144 - 36π square units). The area of the entire square is 144 square units, because 12⋅12=144. The area of the 1 large circle is approximately 113.04 square units, because 3.14⋅62=113.04. The area of the 4 medium circles is also 113.04 square units, because 3.14⋅32=28.26, and 28.26⋅4=113.04. The area of the 9 small circles is also 113.04 square units, because 3.14⋅22=12.56, and 12.56⋅9=113.04.

The standard height from the floor to the bull’s-eye at which a standard dartboard is hung at 5 feet 8 inches. A standard dartboard is 18 inches in diameter. Suppose a standard dartboard is hung at standard height so that the bull’s-eye is 10 feet from the wall to its left. Sasha throws a dart at the dartboard that land at point 10.25 Feet from the left wall and 5 feet above the floor. Does Sasha’s dart land on the dartboard? Drag the choices into the boxes to correctly complete the statements.

Answers

Answer:

Hello! I'm sorry I couldn't get to your question sooner. I just completed this quiz!

The equation of the circle that represents the dartboard is (x-10)^2 + (y-17/3)^2 = 9/16, where the origin is the lower-left corner of the room and the unit of the radius is feet.  

The position of Sasha's dart is represented by the coordinates (10.25,5). Sash's dart does land on the dartboard.

This quiz was completed on k12, lesson 3.03.

The question is an illustration of equation of circles.

The equation of the dartboard circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]Sasha's dart lands on the dartboard because

From the question, we understand that:

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung

[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex] ---- the diameter of the dartboard

[tex]\mathbf{B = 10ft}[/tex]  --- the bull's eye

[tex]\mathbf{D = (10.25ft, 5ft)}[/tex] --- Sasha's dart

Equation of the circle

First, we convert all units to feet

This is done by dividing inches units by 12

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{8}{12}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{15 + 2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{18}{12}ft}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{3}{2}ft}[/tex]

Divide by 2 to calculate radius

[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{2*2}ft}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{4}ft}[/tex]

The equation of the circle is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]\mathbf{a = B = 10ft}[/tex] -- the distance between the bull's eye and the wall

[tex]\mathbf{b = h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = (\frac 34)^2}[/tex]

Evaluate the exponents

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]

Does Sasha’s dart land on the dartboard?

Yes her dart lands on the dartboard because

[tex]\mathbf{D = (10.25ft, 5ft)}[/tex] is within the circumference of the dartboard

Water flows back and forth between a small and large tank. When water is moving into a tank the flow rate is

positive, and when water is moving from a tank the flow rate is negative. The large tank begins with 300 gallons of

water, and the small tank begins with 200 gallons of water. After a period of 5 minutes, the large tank has the same

amount of water as the small tank. Which statement describes the flow rate?

The flow rate of the large tank is 10 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is -10 gal/min.

O The flow rate of the large tank is -10 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 10 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is 20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is -20 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Save and Exit

Answers

Answer:

D. The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flow rate = [tex]\frac{gallons of water}{minute}[/tex]

flow rate of water in the big tank = [tex]\frac{300}{5}[/tex]

                         = 60 gallons/minute

flow rate in the smaller tank = [tex]\frac{200}{5}[/tex]

                          = 40 gallons/minute

The difference in flow rate between the tanks = 60 - 40

                          = 20 gallons/minute

Since the two tanks have the same amount of water after the given time, then the volume of water in the large tank decrease; while the volume of water in the small tank increased.

Therefore, the flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min. This shows that option D is correct.

A line has a slope of 9 what is the slope of a line it is perpendicular to this line? *

9
-9
1/9
-1/9

Answers

Answer: -1/9

Explanation: Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

A negative reciprocal slope is a fancy way of

saying flip the fraction and change the sign.

Notice that our slope is an integer.

We can turn it into a fraction by putting it over 1.

So we have 9/1.

A line perpendicular to this would be a negative reciprocal.

So flip the fraction, giving us 1/9, and change the sign to get -1/9.

Part A. Is Xavier's solution correct? If not, identify where he made an error.
Part B. Solve 7950 divided by 25.

Answers

Let us see how we can solve this step by step each :

6417 ÷ 31 , we divide 64 by 31 and get the resulting quotient as 2 .

Then we bring down 1 . So , the number below is 21 , which cannot be divided by 31 .

So , we will have to bring down 7 for which we have to add a 0 to the quotient . Then the quotient will become 20 as of now .

As 217 is divisible by 3 , I put seven near 21 , making the quotient as 217 and get the remainder 0 .

Hence in the correct solution the correct quotient = 207 .

In Xavier's solution :

But the same thing has not been done in Xavier's solution as he has put a 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 . Hence , Xavier's mistake is that he put the 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 .

In Xavier's solution the quotient is = 270

Therefore , Xavier's mistake is that he put the 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 .

Answers

Answer:   y= -1/2x + 1  

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be represented in slope intercept form because the line is not going through the origin.

Find two points on the line and use them to find the slope since we already know that the y-intercept is 1 because that is where the line intersects the y-axis.

The points  (0,1)  and (2,0)  will be used to find the slope because it is on the line.

The slope will be the difference between the  y coordinates divided by the difference of the x coordinates.  

1- 0 = 1

0 - 3 = -2

Slope:  -1/2  

The equation will be  y= -1/2x + 1
