2/3 - 1/2
= 4/6 - 3/6
= 1/6
so
1/6 of penny bank = 120 pennies
full bank = 120 x 6 = 720 pennies

A recipe calls for 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, and 4 tsp of garlic powder. How much pepper and garlic powder would you need

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

amount of pepper required= 7.5 tsp

amount of garlic powder required = 30 tsp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

amount of salt used for small batch of the recipe = 2 tsp

amount of pepper used for small batch of the recipe = 1 tsp

amount of garlic powder used for small batch of the recipe = 4 tsp

amount of salt used for the larger batch = 15 tsp

= 2 x 7.5 tsp

= amount of salt used for small batch the recipe x 7.5

So,

the amount of pepper needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of pepper used for the small batch of recipe

= 7.5 x 1 tsp

= 7.5 tsp

the amount of garlic powder needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of garlic powder used for the small batch of recipe

= 7.5 x 4 tsp

= 30 tsp

Noel Devine bought a new dishwasher for $320. He paid 20 down and made 10 monthly payments of $34 what actual yearly interest ra

Nookie1986 [14]

IN finding the interest we need to use the following formula:
Interest= Principal x Rate x Time or I= PRT
Substitute values: I= [$20 + ($10 x $34)] -320 =$40
P= $320
R=?
T=10 months/year
I=PRT
Since R is a missing term, we will solve for R using this formula: R=I/PT
R= [$20 + ($10 x $34)-320] / ($320 x 10 months)
T=10 months÷12 months=0.83
R= ($40)/ $320 X 0.83
R= 40/ 265.6
R=15.06024096

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutually exclusive means the events will have no intersection.

Let's look at your first choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on an even number"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on an even number would be 2 or 4.

There is an intersection (they contain a common element), the 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your second choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a number greater than 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on a number greater than 3 would be just 4.

There is an intersection; they both contain 4.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your third choice:

"landing on a shaded portion and landing on a 3"

Landing on a shaded portion would be 1 or 4.

Landing on 3 would just be 3.

There is no common elements in the lists listed. These events have no intersection.

These events are mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fourth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on an odd number"

Landing on a unshaded portion would be 2 or 3.

Landing on an odd number would be 1 or 3.

There is an intersection; they both have 3 in common.

These events are not mutually exclusive.

Let's look at your fifth choice:

"landing on an unshaded portion and landing on a number less than 2 "

Landing on an unshaded portion would 2 or 3.

Landing on a number less than 2 would be 1.

The table below shows the amount of lemon juice and sugar needed to make three different-sized batches of lemonade using the sam

mash [69]

Answer:

j = 2.5s

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Lemon juice (mL) Sugar (gr)

Batch A 500 200

Batch B 750 300

Batch C 1,500 600

2. Write an equation to describe the relationship between j, the amount of lemon juice in mL, and s, the amount of sugar in g.

Ratio = Amount of lemon juice/Amount of sugar

Ratio = 500/200 = 750/300 = 1,500/600

Ratio = 2.5

Now, we can write the equation, this way:

j = 2.5s
