This is for a test in which I --CAN'T-- use a calculator.
20. A recipe calls for an 8" by 8" square cake pan. With this size cake pan, the cake would be 2 inches thick. If all you have is a 10" by 10" square cake pan, and use the same amount of batter,
a) how thick will the cake be?
I got 1.28in
b) If the recipe called for 1/2 a can of frosting, how much of a can will be required using your pan? (assume you want frosting thickness to remain the same)
I didn't know how to do this. I know it has something to do with surface area.
I tried writing a proportion -- 0.5 can/64in surface area and x can/100 surface area, but I can't use a calculator.
Additionally:
12. The expression
(16s^-3t^6)^3/2
_______________
(64s^3t^-7)^2/3
simplifies to n + t^a/s^b where
a). n, the coefficient, is ________
b). a, the exponent of t, is: _______
c). b, the exponent of s, is: _______
