Answer:
5 cups of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
I know the wording of the problem may be confusing at first, but if you look at it a little bit, it's just multiplication and division.
To start,
12 biscuits require 2 cups of flour,
meaning that 6 biscuits (half of the original) only require 1 cup.
<u>(12/2 = 6)</u>
Next,
We need to find how much flour is in 30 biscuits.
We know that 1 cup is in 6 biscuits, and if you were to find how much was in 30 biscuits, you would just need to divide 30 by 6.
<u>(30/6 = 5)</u>
5 cups of flour would be your answer.
To put it mathematically,
(12/2 = 6), (30/6 = 5)

Ratio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Width : Length
2 : 5
Let x be the scale factor
Width : Length
2x : 5x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
70 = 2(5x + 2x)
70 = 2(7x)
70 = 14x
14x = 70
x = 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Length = 5x
Length = 5(5)
Length = 25
Width = 2x
Width = 2(5)
Width = 10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 25 cm, Width = 10 cm

Answer: 41
Step-by-step explanation:
9*(-2)*(-2) - 4*(-2) - 3 = 9*4 + 8 - 3 = 36 + 5 = 41
