Well...this is a proportion problwm. for every 16 cups I have 1 gallon, so I can write that as:
16 cups
-----------
1 gallon
this value will be proportional to 1/4 a gallon equal "so many" cups. let's equal the unknown about of cups to x.
16 cups______ x cups
-----------.... = ..... ----------
1 gallon _____ 1/4 gallons
I can cross multiply to find x.
1 gallon • x cups = 16 cups • 1/4 gallons
16 times 1/4 is the same as 16/4, which equals 4.
1 gallon • x cups = 4 cups gallons
divide both sides by gallons
x cups = 4 cups
so! 1/4 of a gallon equals 4 cups.
First let that number be y.
List the equation by the given info.
y x 112/100 = 56
Shift y to the other side by turning it to ÷y.
112/100 = 56/y
Use cross method,
100 x 56 = 112y
5600 = 112y
y = 50
Therefore that number is 50
Answer:
always true
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify (5+4)3
add 5 and 4.
multiply9 and 3= 4(3) + 5(3)
27=12+15
Answer:
2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
(y-5)6+15–5y=5
(y-5+5)6-6+15-15–5y=5-6-15+5
y-5y=-11
-4y/-4=-11/-4
y=2.75
