1 -
3 cups left.
2-
David biked a total of 158 miles (option C)
Why?
- First exercise:
To solve the problem we need to consider that for each 1/2 cup of cornmeal, we will have 6 corn muffins.
So, calculating we have:
[tex]TotalMuffins=24=4*6\\\\UsedCups=\frac{1}{2}*4=2Cups[/tex]
We can see that, if each 1/2 cups can give us 6 corn muffins, 2 cups can give us 24 corn muffins.
[tex]CupsLeft=5cups-2cups=3cups[/tex]
Hence, there are 3 cups left.
- Second exercise:
We can solve the problem by multiplying or adding the fractions according to the number of dots assigned to each one.
So, calculating we have:
[tex]FirstDay=10miles*2=20miles\\SecondDay=10\frac{1}{2}miles=10.5miles\\ThirdDay=11miles*3=33miles\\FourthDay=11\frac{1}{2}miles*4=11.5miles*4=46miles\\FifthDay=12miles*3=36miles\\SixthDay=12\frac{1}{2}miles=12.5miles[/tex]
[tex]Total=20miles+10.5miles+33miles+46miles+36miles+12.5miles\\Total=158miles[/tex]
Hence, we have that David covered a total 158 miles. (Option C)
Have a nice day!
