Question

Which of the following numbers could be used to specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe?(1 point) Responses square root of 3 square root of 3 47 Start Fraction 4 over 7 End Fraction −3 negative 3 234

Answer 1

To determine which of the given numbers could be used to specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe, we need to consider that the number of cups must be a non-negative rational number.

1. **Square root of 3**: This is an irrational number, and while it is positive, it is not typically used in recipes as a measurement.

2. **47**: This is a positive whole number (and therefore a rational number) and could be used in a recipe.

3. **Fraction \( \frac{4}{7} \)**: This is a positive rational number and could be used to specify a measurement.

4. **Negative 3**: This is negative and cannot be used to specify a quantity like cups of flour.

5. **234**: This is also a positive whole number and could be used in a recipe.

Based on this analysis, the numbers that could be used to specify how many cups of flour should be used in a bread recipe are:

- **47**
- **Fraction \( \frac{4}{7} \)**
- **234**

So, the correct options are **47, \( \frac{4}{7} \), and 234**.
