Jay is cutting a roll of biscuit dough into slices that are 3/8 inch thick. If the roll is 101/2 inches long, how many slices can he cut?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The roll of the biscuit is 101/2 inches long. It has to be cut into slices that are 3/8 inches thick.
Then
The number of slices = (101/2)/(3/8)
                                   = (101/2) * (8/3)
                                   = 808/6
                                   = 404/3
                                   = 134.66
So the biscuit dough can be cut into 134 slices approximately. A small part will be left.This is the only way to find out the number of slices thebiscuit dough can be sliced into. Hope this helps you in understanding the wayit is done.

Select the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion. If 5x = 20, then x = 4. the division property of equality the addition property of equality the subtraction property of equality

Answers

Answer: The division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The division property of equality says that if we divide both sides of an equation by the same number then both the sides are still remains equal.

The given statement : - If 5x = 20, then x = 4.

By using the division property of equality the division operation is applied on both the sides of the equation such that both sides are divide by 5 to arrive the given conclusion .

Hence, the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion = The division property of equality

the division property of equality because you divide 20 by 5 to get the x value.

A pyramid has a height of 5 in. and a surface area of 90 in2. Find the surface area of a similar pyramid with a height of 10 in. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. a. 360 in2b. 180 in2 c. 22.5 in2 d. 3.6 in2

Answers

5/90=10/x→5x=900→x=900/5 , therefore SA = 180 in^2 for a height of 10. So, the correct answer for this proportion task is definitely the second option from the list represented above. b. 180 in2. I am pretty sure it will help you. Regards!

A water tank can hold 234 cubic meters of water. How many gallons can the water tank hold?A. 61,776 gallons
B. 6,176 gallons
C. .886 gallons
D. 23,400 gallons

Answers

we know that

1\ m^(3) =264\ gallons  approximate

so

by proportion

(264)/(1)(gal)/(m^(3))=(x)/(234)(gal)/(m^(3)) \n \nx=264*234\n \nx= 61,776\ gallons

therefore

the answer is the option A

61,776\ gallons

The number of gallons of water that the water tank can hold, given the cubic meters is A. 61,776 gallons.

How to find the amount of water ?

In the US customary measurement system, 1 cubic meter is approximately equal to 264.172 gallons.

Therefore, a water tank that holds 234 cubic meters can hold approximately:

= 234 cubic meters * 264.172 gallons/cubic meter = 61,808 gallons.

The closest option would be A. 61,776 gallons
