11-5=6
18-11-7
26-18=8
........... so on and so forth.
I think you get the point.
It goes in evenly 2 times
Answer:
it would take 2.25 1/3 cups if you are looking for an exact answer, or if you are looking for the minimum amount of 1/3 cups necessary to make 3/4 it would be 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this by cross multiplying 1/3 and 3/4
You will get 9/4 which simplifies to 2 1/4 or 2.25
There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x = 
8(
) + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13
