Jackson is making brownies. He uses the following ingredients. Ingredients Amount for 1

Batch of Brownies

Flour 3 cups

Sugar 2 cups

Butter 13 cup

Cocoa Powder 14 cup

Jackson has 1 cup of butter. If he wants to use all the butter, how many batches of brownies can he make?

Part A

Which equation can you use to solve the problem?

A. 1 ÷ 3 = 3

B. 1 ÷ 13 = 3

C. 1 × 13 = 13

D. 1 + 13 = 13

Part B

Jackson used all the butter to make the brownies.

If each brownie is 19 of a batch, how many brownies did he make?

Enter your answer in the box.

brownies

Part A = B. 1 ÷ 1/3 = 3

Part B = 27 brownies

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

From the ingredients given in above question:

1/3 cup of butter = 1 batch of brownies

Hence: 1 cup of butter = x

Cross Multiply

1/3 cup of butter × x = 1 cup of butter × 1 batch of brownies

x = 1 cup of butter × 1 batch of brownies/1/3 cup of butter

x = 1 batch of brownies ÷ 1/3

x = 1 batch of brownies × 3/1

x = 3 batches of brownies

Hence, the number brownies Jackson can make with 1 cup of butter Is 3 batches of brownies

Therefore, the equation you can use to solve the problem is Option B. 1 ÷ 1/3 = 3

Part B

If each brownie is 1/9 of a batch, how many brownies did he make?

We know from Part A that Jackson made 3 batches of brownies hence:

1/9 of a batch of brownies = 1 brownie

3 batches of brownies = x

Cross Multiply

1/9 of a batch of brownies × x = 1 brownie × 3 batches of brownies

x = 1 brownie × 3 batches of brownies/ 1/9 of a batch of brownies

x =( 3 ÷ 1/9) brownies

x = ( 3 × 9/1) brownies

x = 27 brownies

Therefore, the number of brownies he made was 27 brownies.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
