We can list the amount of sugar and flour required into ratios then solve the questions by fractions. 

From the given information, the ratio of the amount of sugar to the amount of flour needed in the recipe should be 13:18.
This ratio can also be written as 13/18.

In the question, the ratio should not be changed, just that the amount of each turns different. 

So, let y be the amount of flour needed. 
13/18 = 10/y
Use cross method to solve this,
18 x 10 = 13y
180 = 13y
y = 180/13
y = <span>13.8461538462
the answer should be </span><span>13.8461538462 ounces, 
</span>and round to the nearest ounce, 
the answer should be D, 14.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The number of seashells he have in his collection all together is <u>140</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Stanley has a collection of seashells. He found 35% of his collection on Florida beaches.

Stanley has 49 seashells from Florida.

Now, to find the number of seashells of his collection altogether.

Let the number of seashells all together be x.

Percentage of seashells found on Florida beaches = 35%.

Number of seashells found on Florida beaches = 49.

Now, to get the number of seashells altogether we put an equation:

35\%\ of\ x=49.

⇒ \frac{35}{100} \times x=49

⇒ 0.35\times x=49

⇒ 0.35x=49

Dividing both sides by 0.35 we get:

⇒ x=140.

Therefore, the number of seashells he have in his collection all together is 140.

Sheri’s cab fare was $32, with a 20% gratuity and no taxes. Sheri wrote a check to the cab driver for $40.
stira [4]

Yes, $40 is a reasonable amount to pay for the cab fare.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Sheri’s cab fare was $32 and the percentage of gratuity is 20%

So, the amount of gratuity will be: \$32* 20\% = \$32*0.20= \$6.40

Thus, <u>the fare of the cab including the gratuity</u> will be:  \$32+\$6.40 = \$38.40

As Sheri wrote a check to the cab driver for $40 , it means she paying ($40 - $38.40) or <u>$1.60 more to the cab driver</u>. So, the $40 check is a reasonable amount to pay for the cab fare.

If a piece of rope cost 20 cents per 2 feet, how many feet can you buy for 30 dollars?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: 300\ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the lenght in feet  of rope that you can buy with 30 dollars.

According to the information provided in the exercise, you can buy a piece of rope of 2 feet with 20 cents.

Remember that 20\ cents=0.2\ dollars

Knowing this, you can write the following proportion:

\frac{0.2}{2}=\frac{30}{x}

FInally, solving for "x", you get this result:

\frac{0.2}{2}=\frac{30}{x}\\\\x(\frac{0.2}{2})=30\\\\x=(30)(\frac{2}{0.20})\\\\x=300
