Jenn is preparing brown rice. She needs 1 1 2 cups of brown rice and 2 cups of water. Jenn has only a 1 8 -cup measuring cup. How many 1 8 -cups each of rice and water will Jenn use to prepare the rice?

She will need 12 1/8 cups of brown rice and 16 1/8 cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will want to convert 1 1/2 cups into an improper fraction, as well as 2 cups.

1 1/2 = 3/2

2 = 2/1

Now that you have done that you will then have to find a common denominator. You will need to list the multiples for 8 and lowest common factor so you don't have to simplify at the end.

The multiples of 8: 1, 2, 4, and 8

As shown above 2 is a multiple of 8. Therefore you will need to multiply the denominator by 4. This is because 2 x 4 equals 8. So now the denominator is 8. You will now need to multiply the numerator by 4 because that is what you multiplied the bottom by. It will be 3 x 4, and will therefore equal 12. The final improper fraction will be 12/8. The numerator then becomes the answer because that is the amount of 1/8 cups that you will need.

You then repeat this with 2/1. However you will need to multiply the denominator by a different number because it is 1. Looking at the multiples of 8 above, you will multiply the 1 by 8, therefore giving you 8 as the denominator. You will then multiply the numerator by 8 as well. This will result in an answer of 16. You will then have a 16/8. You will need 16 1/8 cups of water.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
