Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

3/4 cup for 8 slices of pie

x cup for 48 slices of pie

_______________________

x = ((3/4)*48)/8

x = (3*48)/(4*8)

x = 144/32

x = 4,5

You need 4 1/2 cups of white sugar for 48 slices of pie.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

38 2/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In shadow problems, the usual assumption is that object height and shadow length are proportional.

height/length = b/16 = 5.8/2.4 . . . . . for building height b

b = 16(5.8/2.4) = 38 2/3

The building is 38 2/3 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

7. The common difference is 4, so the next term will be 17+4 = 21, and the term after that will be 21+4 = 25. Figuring the next two terms as 21, 25 is sufficient to select the appropriate answer.

8. The table entry (0, 14) tells you only choices G and J are viable. The difference between terms of 22-14 = 8 tells you the appropriate choice is the one with a slope of 8, choice G.

9. In a linear equation, the sum of exponents of the variables in any/every term must not be greater than 1. (All exponents must be integers, as they are here.) Selections A and D have squared terms, so are not linear. Selection C has the product of variables "xy", so is not linear.
