so for example you have a bag of dried milk and you want to figure out how much water and dried milk to make a certain amount that wasn't listed in the instructions or in between the listed values or you want to prove a geometric equation, I want you to make a function here to help calculate it because I am an idiot and don't know how to code or figure out ratios from proportions or ratios that involve some sort of addition.
Can we have the full problem? Also welcome back, just remember we can’t do your HW for you if that’s what this is.
I don’t think this is geometry though, but I’ll still try to figure it out, I just need some quantities so that I can make an equation-we need 1 equation for every 1 variable to solve them all.
1 cup water + 1/3 cup dry milk = 1 cup milk, 3 3/4 cups water + 1 1/3 cup dry milk = 1 quart milk, 7 1/2 cup water + 2 2/3 cup dry milk = 2 quart milk, what's the recipe for 14 fl oz of milk? also no it's not homework, I'm bad at eyeballing ratios when figuring out how much of an ingredient I need when making something at an unlisted amount
Ok ill figure it out, seems reasonable, but what does this have to do with snap
I tried to calculate how much I needed for the recipe myself by making a code to solve it and since snap is the only coding language I know, I tried to use snap. I tried using online calculators but they wouldn't accept more than two inputs, and I don't know how to find it on any sort of calculator.
Use wolframalpha.com, try naming variables and Creating a creating an equation then multiplying the result by whatever makes sense in the new unit.
how would I phrase that equation?
well the first problem before that is that the equations are not proportional to each other (at least not correctly proportional,
x4=
but
x4
is NOT
in the second equation
could it be exponential in some way?
i mean i guess but that would be weird for a milk recipe (never thought i'd say 'milk recipe' in my life)so im not sure what this could be
I could also be quadratic, I mean the gap between the amount of water needed and the amount of milk made is increasing by two in all three listed ratios/recipes.
I can't seem to get the answer I want from the calculator.
you already know the answer?
no I don't. It's not giving me the two amounts needed to make 14 fl oz of milk. it's only giving me the last one or two values in the input as the "answer"
Can I see a screenshot
Url please
Also Im going to sleep so I may not respond for a while
This occurs frequently in WolframAlpha. If you get a bit convoluted with your input, it will interpret only a subset of your input and often ignore the most important parts. For example, "carton of eggs" gets interpreted as merely "carton". I don't have nerves to get in detail, but this is what it seems like to an unwitting user.
well how would YOU phrase it so that I get the kind of answer I want?
