Irene makes 4 2/3 cups of pancake batter . she splits thebatter into 2 bowls . she mixes blueberries into 2 1/4 cups of batter and walnuts into the rest of the batter 1 . estimate how much of the batter has walnuts in it .explain your estimate. 2 . find the actual amount of batter that has walnuts in it . explain how you your answer is reasonable .

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate is usually a guess, but I somehow think that's not what you want.

She starts with 4 2/3 cups of batter. When she divides it into two, one of the batters has 2 1/4 cups. That's the one she puts blueberries in.

The other batter is the one you are interested in. How big is it?

Estimate: One

The estimated size would be 4 2/3 - 2 1/3 = 2 1/3 which is an estimate. It is just taking the closest number to use so you don't have to grab your calculator.

Actual Size: Two

4 2/3 - 2 1/4 is the size of the second batter. Since 2/3 is greater than 1/4 you need only subtract the whole numbers and then the fractions.

Whole number subtraction: 4 - 2 = 2

Fraction subtraction: 2/3 - 1/4

Find the Lowest common multiple between 3 and 4: It is 12. 3 and 4 are prime to each other. They have nothing in common.

2/3 to 12s: (2*4)/(3*4) = 8 / 121/4 to 12s: (1 *3) / (4*3) = 3/128/12 - 3/12 = 5/12

So the actual size of the batter containing the walnuts is 2 5/12

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
