Jed is baking shortbread for a bake sale. The recipe calls for 1 1 4cups of flour and 1 2stick of butter. How many cups of flour will Jed need if he uses 3 sticks of butter?

Answer: [tex]7\dfrac12[/tex] cups of flour is required for 3 sticks of butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that quantity of flour is proportional to butter.

Given : The recipe calls of [tex]1\dfrac14[/tex] cups of  flour  and [tex]\dfrac12[/tex] stick of butter.

Let [tex]x_1=1\dfrac14=\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]      [tex]y_1=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

For [tex]y_2=3[/tex] , we will find [tex]x_2[/tex] by using formula of direct proportion: [tex]\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{4}}{\dfrac12}=\dfrac{x_3}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{5}{2}=\dfrac{x_3}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_3=\dfrac{5}{2}\times3= \dfrac{15}2=7\dfrac12[/tex]

Hence, [tex]7\dfrac12[/tex] cups of flour is required for 3 sticks of butter.

Compare the two statements below and decide if the phrase: "In a plane," needs to be included in order to make a true statement.

1. In a plane, if a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other line.

versus

2. If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other line.





answer choices:

A) It does not need to be included. By leaving it out of the statement, the reader considers three dimensions not just the xy-plane. The two parallel lines would determine a plane. However, the transversal could intersect only one of the lines. This would allow the proof to use the Corresponding Angles Theorem.


B) It does not need to be included. By leaving it out of the statement, the reader considers three dimensions not just the xy-plane. The two parallel lines would determine a plane. However, the transversal could intersect only one of the lines. This would allow the proof to use the Angle Bisector Theorem.


C) It needs to be included as it forces the reader to consider only two dimensions, like the xy-plane. The two parallel lines would determine the plane and the transversal would intersect both lines. This would allow the proof to use the Corresponding Angles Theorem.


D) It needs to be included as it forces the reader to consider only two dimensions, like the xy-plane. The two parallel lines would determine the plane and the transversal would intersect both lines. This would allow the proof to use the Angle Bisector Theorem.
