Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

because the top and bottom lines are parallel, we can conclude that the 2 triangles (top and bottom) are similar triangles. This means the sides lengths of smaller triangle is proportional to the respective sides on the larger triangle. With this, we can form the following equation:

x/48 = 21/12 (multiply both sides by 48)

x = (21/12)· 48

x = 21 ·4

x = 84

A muffin recipe, which yields 12 muffins, calls for 2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour. The same recipe calls for 1/4

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$4\dfrac{3}{8}$ cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

A muffin recipe, which yields 12 muffins, calls for 2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour.

Then this recipe, which yields one muffin, calls for

$\dfrac{2}{3}:12=\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{1}{18}$

cup of milk for every

$1\dfrac{3}{4}:12=\dfrac{7}{4}\cdot \dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{7}{48}$

cups of flour.

Thus,

this recipe, which yields a batch of 30 muffins, calls for

$\dfrac{1}{18}\cdot 30=\dfrac{5}{3}=1\dfrac{2}{3}$

cups of milk for every

$\dfrac{7}{48}\cdot 30=\dfrac{210}{48}=\dfrac{35}{8}=4\dfrac{3}{8}$

cups of flour.
