Given that 8 cups equals 100% of this punch, we need to figure out how many coups does 15% of sorbet make. This is how we do this:
8 (cups) : 100% (the entire amount of punch) = x (the number of sorbet cups) : 15% (the amount of sorbet used)
So:
x : 15 = 8 : 100
100x = 15 * 8
100x = 120
x = 1.2
The answer is 1.2 cups of sorbet were used in this punch.
How far does a wheel move when it rotates once? The length of the outside of the tyre? Isn't that the same as the circumference?
Answer:
Both people did the same type of general question, but Jenna's method uses the distributive property to do it mentally.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jenna's Method: Uses distributive property to break it all down and do it mentally.
Mia's Method: She broke the equation down so much that the answer will be more complex to find.
Answer:
300
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio : 3 + 2 = 5 parts
Divide the number of appointments by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio, that is
= 100 ← value of 1 part of the ratio
The mums consisted of 3 parts, hence
3 × 100 = 300 ← appointments with mums
