Thank you for sharing the image! I'll help solve the questions from it step-by-step.


Question 8:

"If 350 mg is 30% of the recommended daily amount, how many milligrams of sodium are recommended for the whole day?"

We solve this by writing: 350mg=30%of total recommended amount (x).350 \, \text{mg} = 30\% \, \text{of total recommended amount (x)}.

\text{30% of x} = 0.3x, \quad \text{so } 350 = 0.3x.

Solve for xx: x=3500.3=1166.6mg.x = \frac{350}{0.3} = 1166.\overline{6} \, \text{mg}.

Thus, the total recommended daily sodium amount is approximately 1166.7 mg.


Question 9:

(a) Convert 2.5 miles to feet:

Using the conversion 1mile=5280feet1 \, \text{mile} = 5280 \, \text{feet}: 2.5miles=2.5×5280=13200feet.2.5 \, \text{miles} = 2.5 \times 5280 = 13200 \, \text{feet}.

Answer: 13200 feet.

(b) Convert 32 quarts to gallons:

Using the conversion 1gallon=4quarts1 \, \text{gallon} = 4 \, \text{quarts}: 32quarts=324=8gallons.32 \, \text{quarts} = \frac{32}{4} = 8 \, \text{gallons}.

Answer: 8 gallons.


Question 10:

Chelsee’s Cookies:

  • Chelsee makes 24 dozen cookies in 2 hours.
  • To find her rate per hour: Rate=Total cookiesTotal hours=242=12dozen cookies per hour.\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total cookies}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{24}{2} = 12 \, \text{dozen cookies per hour}.

Answer: 12 dozen per hour.
