Jacoby followed a recipe that requires 2 cup for water four every 3 cups of flours. if he used 8 cups flours, how many cups of w

zmey [24]

Answer:

5 and 1/3 cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion like this:

2:3 for the original recipe

Then a second proportion for the recipe Jacoby used:

w:8 (use w for the unknown water amount)

Set up an equation so that the proportions equal each other. It helps if you write them in fraction form:

$\frac{2}{3} =\frac{w}{8}$

Use cross multiplication to get the new equation:

8 x 2 (or 16) = 3w

Then, divide both sides by 3 to get the amount for w, or water, by itself:

5 and 1/3 = w

I hope this helps! ☺

Taking color into account, does the shape have rotational symmetry? If so, what is the angle of rotation, rounded to the nearest

kolbaska11 [484]

There are 6 identical and symmetrical shapes if colors are ignored.
Because color is taken into account, each shape (with a distinct color) can be rotated into itself about the center of the figure through an angle of 360°.

Answer:
The shape has rotational symmetry.
The angle of rotation, taking color into account, is 360°.
