You would divide 8 3/4 by 50 to find out how many cups you would get for just one cupcake. So you would do 8 3/4 DIVIDED BY 50= 0.175 which means there will be 0.175 cups of sugar per cupcake.
12. if you take half of 12, 6, then you add 5, you get 11.
-6*3 =-18
11*4=44
-18/44. Reduce. Divide top and bottom by 2
-9/22
Steps 4 and 5 are being used to get the equation in step 6.
Steps 5 and 7 are being used to get the equation in step 8.
Steps 8 and 6 are being used to get the equation in step 9.
In step 14, "similar argument" means to draw segment BD and follow the same logic in steps 3-12.
