A recipe called for the ratio of sugar to flour to be 5:1 if you used 35 ounce of sugar, how many ounces of flour would you need

to use
( and if you answer it thank you it means a lot to me :) )

You could set up a proportion to solve this problem.

5:1 can be written as 5/1

5/1 = 35/x

Cross multiply.

You get 5x = 35

Divide both sides by five.

x=7, so you need 7 ounces of flour

5 is 5 times more than 1
So what is 35, 5 times more than?
35/5=7
<span>You need to use 7oz of sugar</span>

A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days. Write an expression to determine how many pesos he

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: $\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days.

i.e. Total earning in 10 days = x

Earning per day = $\dfrac{x}{10}$ [By unitary method] (1)

Money spent per day =y (2)

We know that

$\text{Savings = Money earned - Money spent}$

i.e. Subtract (2) from (1), we get

$\text{Savings = }\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

Hence, the expression to determine how many pesos he saved per day will be:-

$\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

15) In your own words, write three or four sentences explaining what exponents are and how they are used in math

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

exponents are basic short cut to write numbers like 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000 and so on.

Exponents can also be defined as 10 raised to a power x whether positive or negative

$10 {}^{x}$

They are mostly used in expressing units in standard form.

<h3>examples of basic positive exponents</h3>

${10}^{2} = 100$

$10 {}^{3} = 1000$

${10}^{4} = 10000$

${10}^{5} = 100000$

basically the power represent the the number of zeroes after the 1.

<h3>examples of basic negative exponents</h3>

${10}^{ - 2} = 0.01$

${10}^{ - 3} = 0.001$

${10}^{ - 4} = 0.0001$

$10 ^{ - 5} = 0.00001$

in negative exponents the power represents the number of zeroes before the 1. including the 0 behind the decimal point.

this is the basic lay down of how exponent work but one more quick example for maximum understanding

<h3>quick example</h3>

$4 \times {10}^{4} = 0.0004$

$4 \times {10}^{4} = 40000$

$8.69 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} = 0.00869$

$8.69 \times 10 {}^{ 3} = 8690$

hope you grasp the concept involved in multiplication with other terms.

cheers

If the value of y varies directly with x and y= -1 when x=3, find y if x=9

Zolol [24]

y = - 3

Since y varies directly as x then

y = kx ← ( k is the constant of variation )

to find k use y = - 1 when x = 3

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{-1}{3}$ = - $\frac{1}{3}$

hence y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x

when x = 9, then

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ × 9 = - 3
