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.

In a certain month, Oscar sells 6 cars more than Jackie. If together they sell 30 cars, how many cars did Jackie sell?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Jackie sold 12 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the number of cars Oscar sold O, and the number of cars Jackie sold J, we can say the following:

O = J + 6

As Oscar sold 6 cars more than Jackie.

Together, they sold 30 cars.

O + J = 30

Since we know that:

O = J + 6

... we can put this into our previous equation.

O + J = 30

(J + 6) + J = 30

J + J + 6 = 30

2 * J + 6 = 30

Subtract 6 from both sides:

2 * J = 24

Divide both sides by 2:

J = 24 / 2

J = 12

Jackie sold 12 cars.

A boat is approaching a cliff known to be 40m tall. The angle of elevation is 30°. How far away is the boat from the cliff?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 30-60-90 right triangle in this situation.

the height of this triangle is 40 meters

the opposite angle is 30 degrees.

use the tangent.

let x = distance between boat and cliff

tan 30 = 40/x

1/root (3) = 40/x

x = 40 * \sqrt{3}  meters

kolezko [41]

Answer:

2L+2W=P, where L is the length, W is the width, and P is the perimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the length twice and the width twice, which translates to W+W+L+L, or 2L+2W.
