Answer:

In order to divide polynomials using synthetic division, you must be dividing by a linear expression and the leading coefficient (first number) must be a 1. For example, you can use synthetic division to divide by x + 3 or x – 6, but you cannot use synthetic division to divide by x2 + 2 or 3x2 – x + 7.

When Mrs. Stewart makes pie dough, she uses 2/3 cup of shortening for every 2 1/2 cups of flour which proportion could be used t

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The amount of flour Mrs.Stewart needs for 5 cups of shortening $=\frac{75}{4} =18\tfrac{3}{4}$ cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs.Stewart pie dough needs $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of shortening for $2\tfrac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$ cups of flour.

Now we assume that the shortening needed for $x$ cups of flour is $y$ cups.

Accordingly we can arrange the ratios.

So for one cup of shortening how many cups of flour is needed we have to use the unitary method:

$\frac{cups\ of flour\ (x)}{cups\ of\ shortening\ (y)} =\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5/2}{2/3}$

Plugging the value of $y=5$ as it is number of cups of shortening Mrs.Stewart have used.

And multiplying both sides with $5$ .

Number of cups of flour needed when $5$ cups of shortenings are used $(x) =\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5/2}{2/3}$ .

So, $(x)=\frac{5\times 3\times 5}{2\times 2} =\frac{75}{4} = 18\tfrac{3}{4}$

The amount of floor Mrs.Stewart needed for $5$ cups of shortening $= 18\tfrac{3}{4}\$ cups of floor.
