Amanda is making white oatmeal cookies with raisins and pecans for her club. The recipe makes seventeen of the big, chewy kind of oatmeal cookies with lots of raisins and nuts. It takes one-fourth of a cup of nuts and one-half of a cup of raisins just for the seventeen cookies! There are thirty-four members in Amanda's club. If she makes exactly thirty-four cookies, how many cups of nuts will she need?

half a cup

Step-by-step explanation:

if one fourth is needed for 17 and thirty four is the double of 17, then

1/4 x 2 = 2/4

2/4 simplified is 1/2->half

answ9x x 3=

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
