We have to apply the rule of three

8 servings--------------------1/2 cup of sugar
26 servings---------------------  x

x=(26 servings*(1/2) cup of sugar) / 26 servings=1.625 cup of sugar.

For making a serving for 8 people, the amount of sugar required = 1/2 cup
Then
The amount of sugar required for
making a serving for 26 people = [ (1/2)/8] * 26
                                                   =(1/16) * 26 cups
                                                   = 13/8 cups
                                                   = 1 5/8 cups
                                                   = 1.625 cups.
So for making a receipe for 26 people the amount of sugar required is 1 5/8 cups or 1.625 cups. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this method for solving similar problems without requiring any help from outside.

Five light bulbs that are either on or off are lined up in a row. A certain code uses different combinations of lights turned on
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of different ways that 2 lights can be chosen from 5 is ₅C₂.  Use a calculator or find the value manually:

₅C₂ = 5! / (2! (5−2)!)

₅C₂ = 5! / (2! 3!)

₅C₂ = 5×4×3×2×1 / (2×1 × 3×2×1)

₅C₂ = 5×4 / 2

₅C₂ = 10

If john can drink one barrel of water in 6 days, and mary can drink one barrel of water in 12 days, how long would it take them
krek1111 [17]
Hello,

A good first step to take would be to calculate how much of a barrel John and Mary can drink together in 1 day.


If John can drink 1 barrel in 6 days, then every day he can drink 1/6 of a barrel.
If Mary can drink 1 barrel in 12 days, then every day she can drink 1/12 of a barrel. 

Every day, the total that John and Mary can drink will be (1/6) + (1/12) = (1/4) of a barrel.

If we want to know how many days it will take for them to drink 1 barrel of water together, and they drink 1/4 of a gallon every day, we do 

(1) / (1/4) = 1 * (4/1) = 4 days

It will take 4 days for John and Mary to drink 1 barrel together.

Hope this helps!

Gavin wrote the equation p = StartFraction 3 (s + 100) Over 4 EndFraction to represent p, the profit he makes from s sales in hi
Molodets [167]

Answer:

s = \frac{4p}{3} -100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = \frac{3(s + 100)}{4}

Required

Solve for s

p = \frac{3(s + 100)}{4}

Multiply both sides by 4

4 * p = \frac{3(s + 100)}{4} * 4

4 * p = 3(s + 100)

4p = 3(s + 100)

Open bracket

4p = 3s + 300

Subtract 300 from both sides

4p -300= 3s + 300 -300

4p -300= 3s

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{4p -300}{3}= \frac{3s}{3}

\frac{4p -300}{3}= s

s = \frac{4p -300}{3}

Split

s = \frac{4p}{3} -\frac{300}{3}

s = \frac{4p}{3} -100
