Final answer:
Charles walks 1/18 of a mile in 1 minute. There will be 80 bows on the garland. You should use 3/8 cup of brown sugar for half of the recipe.
Step-by-step explanation:
Charles can walk 1/2 of a mile in 9 minutes.
To find how much of a mile he walks in 1 minute, we can set up a proportion.
In 9 minutes, he walks 1/2 mile.
So in 1 minute, he would walk 1/18 of a mile. This can be found by dividing 1/2 by 9.
Therefore, Charles walks 1/18 of a mile in 1 minute.
To find out how many bows you will have on your 20-feet garland, we can divide the length of the garland by the length that each bow occupies. E
ach bow occupies 1/4 of a foot, so we divide 20 by 1/4.
This gives us 20 divided by 1/4, which is equivalent to multiplying 20 by 4/1 or 80.
Therefore, you will have 80 bows on your garland.
If your usual snickerdoodle recipe calls for 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and you are only making half of the recipe, you need to divide 3/4 by 2 to find out how much brown sugar you should use.
Dividing 3/4 by 2 gives us 3/8. Therefore, you should use 3/8 cup of brown sugar for half of the recipe.
