In a certain recipe that produces enough for 8 servings, 1/2 cup of sugar is required. If you were asked to expand this recipe so that it could serve 26 people, how much sugar would be required?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: For making a serving for 8 people, the amount of sugar required = 1/2 cup
Then
The amount of sugar required for
making a serving for 26 people = [ (1/2)/8] * 26
                                                   =(1/16) * 26 cups
                                                   = 13/8 cups
                                                   = 1 5/8 cups
                                                   = 1.625 cups.
So for making a receipe for 26 people the amount of sugar required is 1 5/8 cups or 1.625 cups. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this method for solving similar problems without requiring any help from outside.

4m + 9 + 5m - 12 = 42

Answers

First, combine like terms.

4m+5m = 9m

9m + 9 - 12 = 42

9-12= -3

9m - 3 = 42

Second, apply the inverse operation to isolate the variable.

9m - 3 = 42
      +3     +3

9m = 45

Third, divide 9 by both sides to solve for m.

(9m)/(9) =  (45)/(9)

m = 45/9

m = 5

Answer:  m = 5
4m+9+5m-12=42 is 5. m= 5.

Round o.oo9 to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

When rounding to the nearest hundredth, you look in the thousandths place to see if the number is 5 or greater. In this case it is. The hundredths place then moves up one number.

=0.01

Hope this helps!

0.01 because the number in the thousandths place is greater than 5
