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
Answer:
B) irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number.
The premise that c is rational is false
Step-by-step explanation:
The assumption that c is rational means that the difference c-a must be rational. That difference is b, so b=c-a would mean that b must be rational. But b is defined to be irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number, a contradiction arises and the assumption that c is rational must be false. Therefore the sum (c) must be irrational. (B)
X liters of 10% + (30 - x) liters of 22% = 30 liters of 15%
<span>Plugging in the numbers </span>
<span>x(10) + (30 - x)22 = 30(15) </span>
<span>Distribute </span>
<span>10x + 660 - 22x = 450 </span>
<span>Combine like terms </span>
<span>-12x = -210 </span>
<span>Divide both sides by -12 </span>
<span>x = 17.5 </span>
<span>30 - x = 12.5 </span>
<span>17.5 liters of 10% + 12.5 liters of 22% = 30 liters of 15%
THE TRICK IS TO JUST USE ONLY ONE VARIABLE</span>
The correct question is
<span>Javier is making a cake for a party. The recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of flour, but he wants to triple the recipe. He guessed and put in 7 cups of flour. How many more cups of flour should he have used?
we know that
2 3/4 cups of flour------> (2*4+3)/4----> 11/4 cups
if he </span>wants to triple the recipe------> 3*(11/4)----> 33/4 ----> 8 1/4 cups required
8 1/4-7=1 1/4 cups
the answer is
1 1/4 cups
