Clifford is making a really big white cake for his sisters birthday. The recipe calls for 1.5 times as much flour as sugar. It also calls for 1/2 as much butter as sugar. All the butter, flour, and sugar together total7.5 cups. How much butter, sugar and flour does Clifford need?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The amount of butter, sugar and flour does Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 butter

Explanation:

Consider the number of cup of flour used to be x

According to question,

Recipe calls for 1.5 times as much flour as sugar

Sugar = $1.5 * Flour$

Sugar = 1.5x

Butter = ½ x = 0.5x

According to question,

Flour + Sugar + Butter = 7.5

x + 1.5x + 0.5x = 7.5

3x = 7.5

x = 2.5

Sugar = 1.5x = 1.5(2.5) = 3.75

Butter = 0.5(2.5) = 1.25

Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 cups butter

It would be $46 because when you add the 15% tax to it, the total is $61.

Caroline has 16 marbles 1/8 of them are blue how many of Caroline's marbles are blue

Answers

2 . You have to divide 16 by 8. you get 2 . Hoped that helped

Here's another way; You divide 1 by 8, because 1/8 is equal to 1 ÷ 8, and 1 ÷ 8 is equal to (0.125). So if you multiply 1.25 by 16 you'll get 2. Hope this way helps, if you're confused I don't blame you. xD

Explain how to use the combine place value strategy to find 223 -119.

Answers

Combine place value strategy is useful if you try to subtract a number with bigger digits from a number with a smaller digit in the same place... such as now, where 3 is smaller than 9 in the ones place.

Then we can combine two place values: 23 and 19 and subtruct those. 23-19 is 4 (you can just count up from 19 to 23), so you know that the two will give the result of 04, and then you can proceed to the left: 2-1=1.

so the final result will 104.

You roll a six-sided number cube and flip a coin. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 5 and flipping tails? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Since there are six sides to the dice, the probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 4/6
There are only two sides to a coin. Therefore, the probability of flipping tails is 1/2

To find what the probability of getting both things, you simply multiply both fractions.
1/2 X 4/6
1 X 4 = 4
2 X 6 = 12
4/12

Since the answer should be given in it's "simplest form", you should cancel it down. Since 12 is also divisible by 4, you divide both sides by 4.
4 ÷ 4 = 1
12 ÷ 4 = 3
1/3

The probability of rolling a number less than 5 and flipping tails is 1/3
