There are a couple of ways to look at this.
1) Set up a ratio: 2 cups sugar to 5 cups flour = 5 cups sugar to x cups flour
2/5 = 5/x
cross multiply
2x = 25
x = 12 1/2 cups flour
2) Look at the factor by which the cups of sugar was increased and increase
the cups of flour by the same factor.
2x = 5
x = 2.5
The sugar was increased by a factor of 2.5 so increase flour by same factor.
5(2.5) = 12 1/2 cups flour
Perimeter is just the addition of the side lengths so add them together:
5c+6 + 2c+5 = 7c+11
Option D.
Let the amount of potting soil bought last week be

We know that this week's amount is 32 lb
We also know that this week's amount is double the amount of last week's plus 6 lb
So we write the equation:

Solving this equation:

⇒ subtracting 6 from both sides


⇒ Dividing both sides by 2


The answer is: 13
