Suppose Samantha makes rice for lunch. She uses 9 cups of water. If she uses 1/3 of that amount of rice, how much does Samantha use? (A) 12 cups of rice (B) 6 cups of rice (C) 3 cups of rice (D) 1 cup of rice

(C) 3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 1/3 of 9 =3

If she only needs a third of the rice she only needs a third of the water

C. 3 cups of rice

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 9 by 3, because it is one-third of 9. You get three, and that is your answer.

hope this helped! :)

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

answer: 193

explanation:

200-7 = 193
