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 scientist found that as water temperature increases, the fish population decreases. This means that the two variables move in opposite directions—when one increases, the other decreases.

This type of relationship is called a negative correlation.

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 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.

To find the probability of an event, we use the following the formula

To find the probability of drawing the red ball, we need to find the total number of balls in the bag.

Total number of balls in the bag=6+3+5=14 balls

The probability of drawing a red ball from the bag is 3/14.

we need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.

The first step is to find the radius of the circle using the given area. Let r be the radius of the circle, then:

Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

Now, we know the radius of circle to be  9 in, the circumference of the circle becomes,

  in.

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.

the mean of a data set is the sum of the scores divided by the number of tests.

Total test scores =99+93+67+ 48+ 92+ 87=486

Number of tests =6

Mean test score =486/6=81

The mean test score is 81.

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.

This problem asks us to compare the number of dimes to nickels.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 4p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p

Number of dimes in the bottle =7(2p)=14p

To find the number of dimes the child has than nickels, we use the ratio:

\(\frac{Dimes}{nickels} =\frac {14p}{2p}\ =\ 7\)

Thus, there are 7times as many dimes as nickels in the box.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank holds. A full tank is treated as 1 whole.

Letting x be the number of gallons in full tank and setting the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

x 1 full tank=185 gallons23full tank

A full tank holds 27/5 gallons, which when converted to a mixed fraction is 5 2/5.
