Apancake recipe requires one and one third cups of milk to one cup of flour. if four and two thirds cups of milk is used, what quantity of flour will be need
according to the recipe?

3 and a half cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using proportions:

milk to flour ratios

Find the scale factor for the increase of milk by dividing the second amount by the first amount.

Divide four and two thirds by one and one thirds.

The scale factor is 3.5.

Multiply the amount of flour by the scale factor to get the second amount.

Multiply one by 3.5.

1 X 3.5 = 3.5

3.5 = 3 1/2

We need 3 and a half cups of flour when there are four and two thirds cups of milk.

correct

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
