Pam needs 3 1/2 cups of sugar to make 50 cupcakes. A 5- pound bag of sugar coats $3.69. There are about 2 cups of sugar in a pound. About how much will the sugar cost for the cupcakes?

The answer to your question is $1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total amount of cupcakes = 50

Total amount of sugar = 3 1/2 cups = 3.5 cups

Cost of 5-pound bag = $3.69

2 cups = 1 pound

Total cost = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the amount of pounds needed

                  2 cups 1 pound

                  3.5 cups  x

                  x = (3.5 x 1) / 2

                  x = 3.5 / 2

                  x = 1.75 pounds

2.- Calculate the price of 1.75 pounds

                  5 pounds $3.69

                  1.75 pounds    x

                  x = (1.75 x 3.69)/5

                  x = 6.46/5

                 x = $1.29

3.- Conclusion

The cost of sugar to prepare 50 cupcakes is $1.29

.632

step-by-step explanation:

6 * 1/10 = 3/5

3*0.01 = 0.03

3/5 + 0.03 = .63

2*0.002 = .002

.63 + 0.002 = .632

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
