Answer:
4.5 cups of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
This is how i solved it...
3 cups sugar = 48 pc. taffy
??? cups sugar = 72 pc. taffy
48 x 1.5 = 72
that means 3 x 1.5 should get you how many cups!
3 x 1.5 = 4.5
4.5 cups of sugar! hope this helps!!!
X = -675
I hope this helps! :)
Solve for x, distibutive 0.2:0.2x - 540
Subtract 0.2x to each side: -540 = x - 0.2x
Combine x: -540 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 to each side: x = -540/0.8 = -675
TO get the decimal 8 is obviously 8.0 and for 21/40 just divide 40 for both the numerator and denominator. Then add the 8.0 with the answer you get for 40 together to get the final answer.
