For a recipe for trail mix, Jamaal needs 1/3 cup of walnuts, 1/4 cup of coconut, 3/4 cup of oats, and 2/3 cup of raisins. Which ingredient is closest to 1 cup?

oats

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 cup of walnuts

1/4 cup of coconut

3/4 cup of oats

2/3 cup of raisins

You can convert them all to the same denominator so it is easier to see...

1/3×4/4=4/12

1/4×3/3=3/12

3/4×3/3=9/12

2/3×4/4=8/12

Now compare the numerators. 9/12 is the closest to a whole number (closest to 1), so that means 3/4 was the right fraction (cuz we got 9/12 from 3/4 remember?). So the answer is 3/4 cup of oats.

:) ur welcome hope this helped

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
