A baker is using a cookie recipe that call for 5 ¼ cups of flour to yield 40 cookies. How much flour will the baker need to make 120 cookies using the same recipe?

The slope represents the ratio of rise to run. Let p be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a ratio equation as follows. Then,

The minimum length of the ramp needed is 18 feet to access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk.

A histogram will be appropriate to represent the time the students wake up every day of the week. The histogram is used to represent the frequency of the variable with another variable. In our case the vertical axis will represent the number of students (frequency) while the time of waking up on the horizontal axis.

We are given the equation:

6x−5=10x+15

Step 1: Move all xxx-terms to one side

Subtract 6x from both sides:

−5=10x−6x+15

Step 2: Move constants to the other side

Subtract 15 from both sides:

−5−15=4x

−20=4x

Step 3: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 4:

x=−20/4 = −5

we are tasked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

This is a proportion equation, and letting x be the number of cups of flour we set the equation as follows:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Next, we convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

The baker needs 15.75 cups of flour to make 120 cookies.  15.75 in mixed fraction is  

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

To answer this question, we need to convert the numbers into a similar form. Converting decimal numbers into fraction is appropriate to finding the greatest number.

-0.9 becomes 9/10

-1.9 becomes 19/10

Now we find the LCM of the denominators of the four fractions. The LCM of 5, 10 and 3 is 30. Multiply each fraction with the LCM to compare the fractions.

-3/5*30=-18

-9/10*30=-27

-19/10*30=-57

-8/3*30=-24

The greatest number is -18, meaning -3/5 is the greatest number.

The median of the data set is the number that falls in the middle position after arranging the numbers in the data set in the ascending order.

-6, -4, 1, 8, 12

There are 5 numbers in the given data set, therefore the median falls in the third position from either side. Inspecting the data set, 1 fall in the third position, which is the median for the given data set.

To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations as follows:

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[2(6+3*9)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 3 * 9 = 27. The expression becomes

[2(6+27)]

Then, we carry out the addition of 6+27=33. Then, the expression yields

[2(33)]=2*33=66

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 6/2=3.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 22.

we need to find the price of the stock on Thursday.

First, find the price changes in each day of the week as follows:

Monday’s price was $45.32

Tuesday’s price went up by $3.25 from Monday’s price. The price was $(45.32+3.25)=$48.57

Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.73 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(48.57-1.73)=$46.84

Thursday’s price increased by $0.89 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(46.84+0.89)=$47.73

Therefore, the stock price on Thursday was $47.73.

In this case, we use a calculator to estimate the positive square root of 42.

Then, multiplying the square root above with 6 becomes

Then, the approximate value of 6 time the positive square root of 42 is 38.9.
