How to get these answers
She uses 1/3 of a cup for 1 cake, so we have this ratio
1/3 cup : 1 cake
Multiply both sides by 3 and we end up with
1 cup : 3 cakes
Then multiply both sides by 4 to change "1 cup" to "4 cups" and we have
4 cups : 12 cakes which is the answer to the first part
-------------
For part 2, we'll follow the same steps as before, but instead of multiplying both sides by 4, we do 2 instead because we're dealing with 2 cups of oil.
1/3 cup : 1 cake
3*(1/3 cup) : 3*(1 cake)
1 cup : 3 cakes
2*(1 cup) : 2*(3 cakes)
2 cups : 6 cakes which is the answer to the second part
So basically you are going to line up your equations (already done). Next, you will just add each term. So x + 3x = 4x, then 2y - 2y = 0 (we wouldn't put anything) then 7 - 3 = 4
So then we have all of our terms figured out and will have 4x = 4 then divide 4x by 4 to get x alone and then you will also divide the four that is by itself by four to equal one. So, your answer is x = 1. I hope that helps!
I’m sorry, but how do I see you’re recent questions? I’d love to help! However I have no clue how to find the questions.

Answer:
$100
Step-by-step explanation:
He gets paid a commission of $400 for a $100,000 insurance policy. We need to find out how much he's gonna get paid for a $25,000 insurance policy.
Break down the $100,000 into four equal amounts if possible, which it is:
$25,000
$25,000
$25,000
$25,000
Now break down his commission of $400 for the $100,000 insurance policy into four equal amounts if possible, which it is:
$100
$100
$100
$100
Now since we split them up into four equal parts you can tell how much he would get paid for a $25,000 insurance policy.
He would get paid $100 for the $25,000
