Marcos is baking a cake. He has a recipe for a large cake that calls for 6 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of butter. Marcos only has ½ cup of sugar, so he's going to make a smaller cake. How much flour and butter should he use in his recipe?

3/2 cups of flour

1/4 cups of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of flour = 6

Cups of sugar = 2

Cup of butter = 1

Marcos only has ½ cup of sugar, so he's going to make a smaller cake.

Cups of sugar for big cake = 2

Cups of sugar for small cake = 1/2

Ratio of cups of sugar for big cake to small cake is

= 2 : 1/2

= 2 ÷ 1/2

= 2 × 2/1

= 4

This means to make smaller cake, all recipes should be divided by 4

Flour for small cake = flour for big cake / 4

= 6 / 4

= 3/2 cups of flour

= 1.33

Butter for small cake = Butter for big cake / 4

= 1 / 4 cups of butter

= 0.25

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet

explanation:

infrared radiation has wavelength in the range between 700 nm and 1 mm. lets' convert these values into scientific notation, keeping in mind that:

let's start from the lower value, we have:

(we moved the dot two places to the left, so we increased the exponent by 2 units, from -9 to -7)

the higher value is:

so, the range of wavelength of infrared radiation is:
