Maxwell’s vegetarian tacos requires 3/4 tablespoon of chili powder for every 1/2 pound of vegetables. How much chili powder will
2 answers:
Answer:
1 1/8 or 9/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion. The proportion will be teaspoons of chili powder over pound of vegetables.
The first proportion will be..
x is 3/4 and y is 1/2. Across from that proportion make another one
x is "n" because you're trying to figure out how much chili powder you need. y is 1 3/4.
Multiply 3/4 and 1 3/4, which is 9/16. Then, divide 9/16 and 1/2, which is 9/8. Simplify it to 1 1/8, and Maxwell will need 1 1/8 teaspoons of chili powder.
Hope this wasn't too confusing :)

There are 15 mini hotdogs and 5 mini pizza rolls in the combination meal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Calories in each hotdog = 80 calories
Calories in each mini pizza = 50 calories
Combined meal = 20
Combined calories = 1450 calories
Let,
x represent the number of hot dogs.
y represent the number of mini pizzas.
According to given statement;
x+y=20 Eqn 1
80x+50y=1450 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 80
Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3
Dividing both sides by 30
Putting y=5 in Eqn 1
There are 15 mini hotdogs and 5 mini pizza rolls in the combination meal.

1.The isosceles triangle has sides of length 14, y, y
2. According to the "triangle inequality" :
y+y>14
2y>14
y>14/2=7
(y is greater than 7)
3. Remark, check the figures:
the side lengths cannot be less than (neither equal to 7), because we cannot get a triangle in that case, check picture 2
In picture 1 wee see that the side lengths can be as large as we want. We can erect an altitude, as high as we want. Pick a point on the altitude, and join it to the endpoints of the base, and we get an isosceles triangle with base equal to 14.
