A brownie recipe calls 1 2/3 cups of nuts. Ethan wants to use only half of this amount. How many cups of nuts should Ethan use?
a. 8/3 cups
b. 10/3 cups
c. 5/6 cups
d. 6/5 cups

c. 5/6 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

1 2/3 = 5/3

5/3= 1.666

1.66÷2= 0.833

When we divide. the number should equal 0.833

8/3= 2.66 nope

10/3= 3.33 nope

5/6= 0.833 yes

6/5= 1.2 nope

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
