A recipe for cookie dough calls for three and two third cups of flour. Jane only ha 1 and three fourth cups of flour. How many more cups of flour does Jane to make the cookie dough?

Jane needs 1 11/ 12 cups of flour more to make the cookie dough

Step-by-step explanation:

Recipe for cookie dough= 3 2/3cups of flour

Amount of flour available for Jane = 1 3/4 cups of flour

Amount of flour Jane needs to add to make cookie dough

=3 2/3 - 1 3/4

changing to improper fraction to make it easier to subtract

11/3 -7/4 = (44- 21)/12 = 23/12  =  1  11/12  cups of flour

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour
