Answer:
2. Cecilia uses 3 cups of flour for 36 cookies
4. Cecilia is making 3/4 of the original recipe
Step-by-step explanation:
Recipe for 48 cookies
Flour = 4 cups
Sugar = 1 1/3 cups
Recipe for 36 cookies
48 cookies : 36 cookies
= 4 : 3
Flour used in 36 cookies = x cups
Flour used in 48 cookies = 4 cups
4 cups : x cups
4 : 3 = 4 : x
4/3 = 4/x
4*x = 3*4
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3 cups
Sugar = 1 1/3 cups
Sugar used in 36 cookies = y cups
Sugar used in 48 cookies = 1 1/3 cups
4 : 3 = 1 1/3 : y
4/3 = 4/3 ÷ y
4/3 = 4/3 × 1/y
4/3 = 4/3y
4*3y = 3*3
12y = 9
y = 9/12
= 3/4
y = 3/4
The true statement are:
2. Cecilia uses 3 cups of flour for 36 cookies
4. Cecilia is making 3/4 of the original recipe
1. 4 1/5
2. 11/24
3. 12 1/4
4. 2
5. 3 5/12
I did the math but I’m sorry if it’s not all correct
First do
3x + -5x = -2x
Then do
-2x + 5x = 3x
Lastly do
3x+1
