A macaroni and cheese recipe calls for 1/3 cup of flour for every 1 1/5 cup of milk. To make a bigger batch, the chef uses 2 cups of flour. Which of the following would be the amount of milk needed for the bigger batch?

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

Letting x be the number of cups of flour and setting the proportion equation with number of cookies on numerator and number of cups of flour on the denominator. We have

Solve the value of x by cross-multiplying

We convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

\(x =\ \frac{9}{4}\ cups\ *\ 90\ cookies\ *\ \frac{1}{36}\ cookies\)

The number of cups of flour needed to make 90 cookies is 5.625 cups, which is equal to 5 5/8 cups(Choice B).

We need to find the value of x from the given equation. First, we move the value of 10 to the right-hand side of the equation.

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

,   a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=12, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -1 or 2.

Centimeteris the appropriate unit to measure the length of a dollar bill.

To find the greatest number from the given options, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

-0.7 becomes 7/10

-1.3 becomes 13/10

Then, we find the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions. The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.

-2/3*30=-20

-7/10*30=-70

-13/10*30=-39

-4/3*30=-40

Comparing the obtained values from above, -20 is the greatest followed by -39, -40, -70 in that order. The fraction -2/3 gave a value of -20, which was the greatest value. Thus, -2/3 is the greatest value from the given option.

An independent variable is a variable that is manipulated or changed in the experiment. From the given equation, t is an independent variable, which when changed changes the values of the f(t).

7/25 is the same as 7÷25. The value becomes 0.28.

Thus, 0.28 is the decimal equivalent of 7/25.

The question requires us to find the percentage change in weight of a person.

First, we need to find the change in weight over the 3 months

Change in weight= 180-160=20 lb

Percent change in weight is change of original weight *100. Thus

The percent change in weight is 11% to the nearest whole number.

We are being asked to find the amount of milk needed. This is a proportion problem, which compares the amount of flour to that of milk. Letting x represent the amount of milk required, we set up the proportion with flour on the numerator and amount of milk in denominator as follows:

Change the mixed fraction of 1 1/5 into improper fraction as follows

The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

As an mixed fraction, 36/5 becomes 7 1/5. Therefore, 7 1/5 cups of milk are needed to make a big batch of 2 cups.

We need to find the are of the rectangle from the given case. Letting x represent the width of the rectangle. Then, we can find the area of the rectangle as follows.

Length of rectangle=(x+5)

Width of the rectangle= x

Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+5)*x

A=x(x+5)

Thus, the area of the rectangle is x(x+5).

We are asked to make x the subject of the formula.

First, we add z to both sides of the equation

Multiply both sides by y

The above equation can be rearranged into

Thus, the formula for finding the value of x is y(z+rw).
