Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the number of cups of strawberries Jada needs for the whole cake is x. The problem says that 3/4 of the cake is equal to 1 cup of strawberries, so we can set up the following equation:
3/4x = 1
We can solve this equation by multiplying both sides of the equation with 4/3, so it cancels out with the 3/4. Make sure to do this to both sides!
So, you get:
x=4/3
Jada needs 4/3 cups of strawberries for the whole cake.
If you make a dot at (1,5) which is 1 on the x axis and 5 on the y axis, you will see that the dot is up in the white area, so it is not a solution.
a solution would be in the red area.
Make sure your decimals line up for addition and subtraction.

Rounding to the nearest thousandth
75.461
we rounded down because the ten thousandths place is a 4 so thousandths place stays as is. If it were 5 or more it would have rounded up to a 2.
X + 6 + x + 8 + x = 53
3x + 14 = 53
3x = 39
x = 13 and the other 2 pieces are
19 and
