Helena needs 3.5 cups of flour per loaf of bread and 2.5 cups of flour per batch of muffins. She also needs 0.75 cup of sugar per loaf of bread and 0.75 cup of sugar per batch of muffins. Helena has 17 cups of flour and 4.5 cups of sugar available for baking.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: From the given data, we can generate two equations with two unknowns. 

We let x = number of loaves of bread
            y = number of batches of muffins

For the equation of the flour requirement:
17 = 3.5x + 2.5y

For the equation of the sugar requirement:
4.5 = 0.75x + 0.75y

We evaluate the solutions by manipulating one of the equations into terms of the other. We use the first equation.We write x in terms of y.

x = (4.5/0.75) - y

Substitute the third equation to the second equation.

17 = (3.5((4.5/0.75)-y)) + 2.5y

Evaluating y and x, we have,

y = 4 and x = 2

Thus, from the amounts she has in hand, she can make 4 loaves of bread and 2 batches of muffins.

The diameter of a circle is 14 inches. Find the circumference and area. Use 22/7 for pi

Answers

Answer:

circumference = 44 in.

area = 154 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = pi * d = (22/7) * 14 = 44 inches

Area = pi*r^2

r = 1/2 * d = 1/2 * 14 = 7

Area = (22/7) * (7^2) = (22/7)  * 49 = 154 inches

A group of 18 people ordered soup and sandwiches for lunch. Each person in the group had either one soup or one sandwich. !e sandwiches cost $7.75 each and the soups cost $4.50 each. If the total cost of all 18 lunches was $113.50, how many sandwiches were ordered?

Answers

There are 8 sandwiches were ordered.

What is Simplification?

Simplification in mathematical terms is a process to convert a long mathematical expression in simple and easy form.

Given that,

Total number of people = 18

Total lunches = 18

And total price = $113.50.

Let there are x number of sandwiches,

And y number of soups.

Also given that,

Cost of one sandwich = $7.75

And cost of one soup = $4.50

Cost of x sandwiches = 7.75x
Cost of y soups = 4.50y

7.75x + 4.50y = 113.50      (1)

x + y = 18           (2)

By solving equation (1) and (2),

x = 8 and y = 10

The required number of sandwiches are 8.

#SPJ2

4.5(18-y)+7.75y=113.5
My justification fir wirting the equation like this is beacuse the total equals how many people ate over all minus how many people ate the soup. (X=18-y) y=soup x=sandwiches
81-4.5y+7.75y=113.5
We distributed
Now its time to combine like terms.
3.25y+81=113.5
I only subtracted beacuse the 4.5 was negative
Subtract 81 from both sides
3.25y=32.5
Divide by 3.25 on both sides
Y=10
Now that we have that we insert it back into the equation
x=18-(10)
So x=8
Basically, 8 sandwiches were ordered :D

PLEASE HELPIn the following figure (AB) (CD). Suppose that m<1=32 (degrees). What is the m<6 ? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

m∠6 = 148°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

AB and CD are two parallel line and another transverse line is intersecting these line at two distinct points.

Since, m∠1 = 32°,

∠1 and ∠4 are supplementary angles [Linear pair of angles]

m∠1 + m∠4 = 180°

32° + m∠4 = 180°

m∠4 = 180° - 32°

m∠4 = 148°

Since, ∠4 ≅ ∠6 [Alternate interior angles]

m∠4 = m∠6 = 148°

Therefore, m∠6 = 148°

Answer:

148°
