To solve this problem, we are going to need to set up a proportion. Let's let x represent what we are trying to find, the number of teaspoons of vanilla needed for the cookie recipe when 5 cups of flour are used.


3 cups flour/1.5 tsp vanilla = 5 cups flour/x tsp vanilla


The easiest way to simplify a proportion like this is to cross multiply. This means taking the numerator of one fraction and multiplying it by the denominator of the other fraction and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:


3 * x = 5 * 1.5


The first thing we should do to simplify is multiply our values on both sides of the equation.


3x = 7.5


Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get the variable x (what we are trying to figure out) by itself.


x = 2.5


This means that for 5 cups of flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla are needed.


Hope this helps!

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative is outside of the absolute value signs/lines. The absolute value is how far the number is from 0. So, it doesn't matter whether or not there is a negative sign inside of the absolute value lines it will always be positive. But, if it's outside of it, then it will be negative.

What do you think the message is from the "1936 Nazi Poster" poster?​
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Become the leader of our nation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Like all Nazi propaganda, the 1936 poster suggests that young Germans are highly capable of becoming leaders of the nation. A young man who must be blond, with teeth and a perfect body. It was unconditional for Nazi propagandists to convince young people to support the goals and policies of the political party.

On the other hand, the leaders of the Nazi youths sought to integrate the children into the national Nazi community and prepare them to serve as soldiers in the armed forces or, later, in the SS.
