Landscape Elementary uses 14 reams of paper ever 3 weeks. How many reams of paper do they use each week? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the number of reams of paper used each week, divide the total number of reams used in 3 weeks by 3: 14 reams / 3 weeks = <<14/3=4.67>>4.67 reams/week
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's 4.67 reams/week. Answer: \boxed{4.67}.
Jennie is making popcorn. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of butter, 3 tablespoons of kernels, and 1 teaspoon of salt. If she uses 10 tablespoon of kernels, how much butter does she need? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
answers:
1.50
1.67
1.66
3.33
The original recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of kernels and 1/2 cup of butter. To find the ratio of tablespoons of kernels to cups of butter, divide 3 tablespoons by 1/2 cup (which is the same as 8 tablespoons): 3 tablespoons / 8 tablespoons = 0.375.
If Jennie uses 10 tablespoons of kernels, we can multiply the ratio by 10 to find how much butter she needs: 0.375 * 10 = 3.75.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, Jennie needs 3.75 cups of butter, so the answer is 3.75. None of the provided options match this answer.

The movie theater sold 345 tickets to a show. If 2/3 of the tickets sold were adult tickets, which cost $13.95 each, how much money did the theater make from the sale of children's tickets if they cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets? Answer with a dollar amount rounded to the nearest hundredth, placing commas in appropriate places.
The number of adult tickets sold is 2/3 * 345 tickets = 230 tickets.
Each adult ticket costs $13.95.
So, the total revenue from the sale of adult tickets is 230 tickets * $13.95/ticket = $3,208.50.
The children's tickets cost 2/3 * $13.95 = $9.30 each.
The number of children's tickets sold is 345 tickets - 230 tickets = 115 tickets.
So, the total revenue from the sale of children's tickets is 115 tickets * $9.30/ticket = $1,069.50.
Therefore, the theater made $1,069.50 from the sale of children's tickets.
Louisa purchased a new snake for $199.00. Sales tax is 7.25%. What is her total bill? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the total bill, we need to add the price of the snake to the sales tax amount.
Sales tax is 7.25% of the price of the snake, so we calculate it by multiplying 7.25% (or 0.0725) by $199.00:
Sales tax = 0.0725 * $199.00 = $14.42
To find the total bill, we add the price of the snake to the sales tax amount:
Total bill = $199.00 + $14.42 = $213.42
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, Louisa's total bill is $213.42. Answer: \boxed{213.42}.
Jesse buys his coworkers lunch from the local steakhouse. The food costs $105.79, and the sales tax rate is %9. Jesse wants to leave 20% tip based on the pre - tax amount. How much will the total be, including tax and tip?
To find the total cost, including tax and tip, we need to calculate the sales tax amount, the tip amount, and then add them to the original cost of the food.
Sales tax is 9% of the cost of the food, so we multiply the cost by 9% (or 0.09):
Sales tax = 0.09 * $105.79 = $9.52
To find the tip amount, we calculate 20% of the pre-tax amount (which is the cost of the food minus the sales tax):
Tip amount = 0.20 * ($105.79 - $9.52) = $19.25
Now we can find the total cost by adding the cost of the food, the sales tax, and the tip:
Total cost = $105.79 + $9.52 + $19.25 = $134.56
Therefore, the total cost, including tax and tip, will be $134.56.
are you sure
Apologies for the mistake. Allow me to recalculate:
The sales tax is 9% of the cost of the food, which is $105.79. Therefore:
Sales tax = 0.09 * $105.79 = $9.53
To calculate the tip amount, we consider 20% of the pre-tax amount, which is $105.79:
Tip amount = 0.20 * $105.79 = $21.16
To find the total cost, including tax and tip, we add the cost of the food, the sales tax, and the tip:
Total cost = $105.79 + $9.53 + $21.16 = $136.48
Thus, the correct total cost, rounded to the nearest hundredth, including tax and tip, is $136.48.
Use the conversion ratio 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters. A cylinder holds 6,750 milliliters. How many liters does it hold?
answers:
6,750,000
7,750
67.5
6.75
To convert milliliters to liters, we divide the number of milliliters by 1000.
So, 6,750 milliliters / 1000 = 6.75 liters.
Therefore, the cylinder holds 6.75 liters. The correct answer is option 4: 6.75.
Use the ratio 1 gallon equals about 3,785 milliliters. A container holds 34,065 milliliters. How many gallons does the container hold?
answers:
128,936,025
37,850
9
0.9
To convert milliliters to gallons, we divide the number of milliliters by 3,785.
So, 34,065 milliliters / 3,785 = 9 gallons (approximately).
Therefore, the container holds approximately 9 gallons. The correct answer is option 3: 9.
Use the conversation ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles to solve the following problem. An airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour. What is the airplane's speed in miles per hour?
answers:
558
1,451.6
899.38
1,240
To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio of 0.62.
So, 900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 = 558 miles per hour.
Therefore, the airplane's speed is 558 miles per hour. The correct answer is option 1: 558.
Leo designs a piece of jewelry in the shape of a regular pentagon. Each side of the object measures 3 centimeters. Leo photographs the object, enlarges it so that the sides each measure 8 centimeters, and prints the photo. What scale factor did Leo use to create the photograph from the original?
answers:
2 2/3
11
3/8
2 1/3
To find the scale factor, we divide the new side length by the original side length.
New side length: 8 centimeters
Original side length: 3 centimeters
Scale factor = 8 centimeters / 3 centimeters
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Scale factor = 2 2/3
Therefore, the scale factor that Leo used to create the photograph from the original is 2 2/3. The correct answer is option 1: 2 2/3.
