How many 3/8 cup servings are in a pitcher containing 6 3/4 cup of orange juice?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: You can solve this problem in multiple ways, but you'll have to divide the total volume with the amount per servings to find the number of servings (makes sense logically if you think about it).

The first way is to just use the fractions given. This will usually be your method in handling this if you're not familiar with it.

Convert 6 3/4 into an improper fraction. To do this, we need to put the 6 into the numerator somehow. We can approach this by multiplying the whole number (6) with the denominator (4) and adding it to (3). Basically, 6 x 4 + 3 = 27. This will be our new numerator. If you are not familiar with this concept, please let me know. 

Our new fraction for the total amount of juice is (27)/(4). Divide this with the amount per serving, (3)/(8)

(27)/(4) /  (3)/(8) 
We flip the second fraction over and multiply it.

(27)/(4) *  (8)/(3) =  (9)/(1) *  (2)/(1) = 18 servings (I crossed out common numbers here, unfortunately I don't know how to do that here so let me know if my explanation was not clear enough. I skipped a few steps.)

18 servings would be your answer.

Or you can convert 6 3/4 into decimal, which would be 6.75. 3/8 in decimal is .375 and you can do long division from there. That way is a bit more tedious in my opinion, but sometimes more convenient. 

Cheers!

Minxia counted 40 green cars and 20 silver cars in the parking lot. If the number of green cars stays the same, how many more silver card would need to be added so the ratio of green cars to silver cars is 1 to 3?

Answers

The number of silver cars that need to be added will be 100.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a group of sequentially ordered numbers a and b expressed as a/b, where b is never equal to zero. When two objects are equal, a statement is said to be proportional.

Minxia counted 40 green vehicles and 20 silver vehicles in the parking garage. On the off chance that the quantity of green vehicles remains something similar.

Let 'x' be the number of silver cars that need to be added.

If the ratio of green cars to silver cars is 1: 3. Then the number of silver cars that need to be added will be given as,

40 / (x + 20) = 1 / 3

Simplify the equation, then we have

40 / (x + 20) = 1 / 3

(x + 20) = 40 x 3

x + 20 = 120

x = 100

The number of silver cars that need to be added will be 100.

What I did is that: I multiply 40 by 3 because 40 is 1/3 and I have to find the answer for 3/3 (Confusing, sorry I don't know how to explain it correctly). I got 120, subtract 20 from 120 beacause ther is 20 silver cards. The answer is 100

What is 9/10 as a decimal and percent

Answers


To find the decimal from a fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator.

To get the percent. multiply the decimal by 100.

So, the answer as a decimal is 0.9

the answer as a percent is 90%

Hope it helps!!!!!!!

For a decimal, it is 9/10 literally 9 divided by 10 = 0.9
Rewrite 9/10 as a fraction over 100 9/10 = 90/100 = 90%

In order to be admitted for a certain ride a an amusement park, a child must be greater than or equal to 36 inches tall and less than 48 inches tall. Draw a number line to represent the following information

Answers

The required number line has been attached which represents the given information.

What is Number Line?

In math, a number line can be defined as a straight line with numbers arranged at equal segments or intervals throughout. A number line is typically shown horizontally and can be extended indefinitely in any direction.

We have been given that a child must be greater than or equal to 36 inches tall and less than 48 inches tall.

Let the height of the child would be x

According to the given situation, we can write the inequality would be as:

⇒ 36 ≤ x < 48

As per the above inequality, we can draw the required number line.

Thus, the required number line has been attached which represents the given information.
