Answer:
1/2 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/8)*4 = 1/2 mile
The recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe.
Therefore, if Angie is tripling the recipe, she is multiplying all of the ingredients in the recipe by 3.
So for the butter, this would be:
5/8 * 3 = 15/8
Next, we should turn this improper fraction into a mixed number so that we can compare it to the amount of butter that Angie has.
15/8 = 1 7/8
1 7/8 > 1 1/4
Thus, Angie DOES NOT have enough butter to triple the recipe.
3x + 7 = x
First, subtract 3x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7 = x - 3x
Second, simplify x - 3x to -2x. / Your problem should look like: 7 = -2x
Third, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like:
= x
Fourth, simplify
to
/ Your problem should look like:
= x
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x =
