Answer:

3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this by setting up ratios

$\frac{2 cups}{18 cupcakes} = \frac{x}{27 cupcakes}$

cross multiply:

$(2)(27) = 18x$

$54 = 18x$

solve for x

$x = 3 cups$

What is the answer for -5-(15y-1)=2(7y-16)-y

kari74 [83]

First distribute the negative through the parenthesis on the left and the 2 on the right.
-5 -15y +1 = 14y -32 - y
Combine like terms on the right and left
-4 -15y = 13y -32
Now move the variables to one side and the constants to the other.
Subtract 13y from both sides
-4 -28y = -32
Add 4 to both sides
-28y = -28
Divide both sides by -28
y = 1

Does the average person live for at least 1,000,000 minutes?

irakobra [83]

Convert to hours, then days, then years
60 minutes per hour
1000000/60=50000/3=16666.7 hours

24 hours per day
16666.7/24=694.4 days
365 days per year
694.4/365=1.9

the average person lives at least 1.9 years
maybe, I guess
