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.

"a man drove 10 mi directly east from his home, made a left turn at an intersection, and then traveled 2 mi north to his place o
jasenka [17]

When you think of the situation as a whole, you may notice that the lines in the problem actually form a triangle. First, the man driving 10 miles east forms a bottom leg of the triangle 10 units long. When he drives the 2 miles north, he adds another leg of 2 units length. When the place of work is connected to the starting position through a line, a third and final line is drawn which creates the triangle.


So, how can we find the direct distance from his place of work to his home? We can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse). We know that the lengths of the legs are 10 and 2, which we can use in the formula, as shown below:

(10)^2 + (2)^2 = c^2


Now, we can solve this equation for c:

\sqrt{(10)^2 + (2)^2} = c

\sqrt{104} = c \approx 10.2


The distance would be √104 miles, or approximately 10.2 miles.

A father lifts a toddler 1.5 m up in the air. The child gains 187.5 J of energy in her gravitational potential energy store as a
bearhunter [10]

The mass of the toddler is 12.5 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for gravitational potential energy is Ep=mgh where;

Ep=gravitational potential energy

m=mass of an object

g=gravitational field strength

h=height in meters

Given that ; h= 1.5m, Ep=187.5J , g=10 N/kg then finding m;

Ep=mgh

187.5=m*10*1.5

187.5=15m

187.5/15 =15m/15

12.5 kg=m

wolverine [178]
The function for conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9 

C(76.1) = (76.1 - 32) x 5/9
             = (44.1) x 5/9
             =  24.5

Therefore, 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit = 24.5 degrees Celsius.
