X+ (x+1) + (x+2) =135 is the way you would write the expression, x being the smallest number. Simplify the side of the equation with the variables so that its 3x + 3=135. Next, subtract 3 on both sides so that 3x=132. Next, isolate x by dividing both sides by 3 so that x=44. Check your work by substituting 44 in for x so that 44+45+46=135.

one batch of cookies makes 24 cookies. the recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. if Sarah needs to make 60 cookies how much flou

Answer:

4 3/8 cups of flour needed for 60 cookies

Explanation:

You can multiply 24 by 2.5 to get 60 so you'd multiply the cups of flour by 2.5 as well. You multiply both of them by the same number because it's a ratio. You'd multiply then simplify to get the answer 4 3/8 cups of flour.
