I thought of a number, added 4 5/7 to it, and got the number 12 times as big as my original what was my number

Let's call the number you thought of n. Then what the two steps you took can be written as an equation:
Subtract n to get all of your variables to one side:
At this point, I recommend turning your mixed number into an improper fraction. It will make things easier later on:
Now divide both sides by 11 to get the value of n:

Step-by-step explanation:
A chef uses 2/3 cup of flour for every 1/8 cup of water in a dough recipe.
It means,
2/3 cup = 1/8 cup of water
Hence, the constant of proportionality is 0.1875.
First you must acknowledge that you are dealing with a line therefore you must write linear equation or linear function in this case.
Linear function has a form of,
Then calculate the slope <em>m</em> using the coordinates of two points. Let say <em>A(x1, y1)</em> and <em>B(x2, y2)</em>,
Now pick a point either <em>A</em> or <em>B</em> and insert coordinates of either one of them in the linear equation also insert the slope you just calculated, I will pick point <em>A</em>.
From here you solve the equation for n,
So you have slope <em>m</em> and variable <em>n</em> therefore you can write down the equation of the line,
Hope this helps.
