For Anthony’s birthday, his mother is making cupcakes for his 12 friends at his daycare. The recipe calls for 3 1/3 cups of flour. This recipe makes 2 1/2 dozen cupcakes. Anthony’s mother has only 1 cup of flour. Is there enough flour for each of his friends to get a cupcake

No, there is no enough flour for each of his friends to get a cupcake

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ This recipe makes 2 dozen cupcakes

∵ Each dozen contain 12 cupcakes

∴ The number of cupcakes can the recipe make = 2  × 12

∴ The number of cupcakes can the recipe make = 30 cupcakes

∵ The recipe calls for 3 cups of flour

→ That means 3 cups of flour can make 30 cupcakes

∴ 3 cups of flour makes 30 cupcakes

∵ Anthony’s mother has only 1 cup of flour

→ By using the ratio method

→  flour  :  cupcake

→  3      :  30

→   1       :   x

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ 3 × x = 1 × 30

∴ 3 x = 30

→ Divide both sides by 3

∴ x = 9

∵ x represents the number of cupcakes  

∴ Anthony’s mother can make 9 cupcakes with 1 cup of flour

∵ Anthony has 12 friends at his daycare

∵ The number of the cupcakes = 9

∴ The number of cupcakes is not enough for each of his friends to

   get a cupcake

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
