Answer:
a)1 cup of flour
b)67.5 minutes
Explanation:
a) A recipe requires 3 cups of flour to make 27 dinner rolls. How much flour is needed to make 9 rolls?
From the above question, we know that:
27 dinner rolls = 3 cups of flour
9 dinner rolls = x
Cross Multiply
27 rolls × x = 9 rolls × 3 cups
x = 9 rolls × 3 cups/27 rolls
x = 1 cup of flour
Hence, 1 cup of flour is needed to make 9 dinner rolls
b) Mandy runs 4 km in 18 min. She plans to run in a 15 km race. How long will it take her to complete the race?
From the above question:
4 km = 18 minutes
15km = x
Cross Multiply
4km × x = 15km × 18 minutes
x = 15km × 18minutes/4km
x = 67.5 minutes
Hence, in a 15km race , it would take her 67.5 minutes to complete her race.
