8 / 2 = 45 / x....8 servings to 2 cups = 45 servings to x cups
cross multiply
(8)(x) = (2)(45)
8x = 90
x = 90/8
x = 11 1/4 (or 11.25) cups of flour are needed <==
Answer:
The correct option is C.
C) -x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
In mathematics, the term which is being divided is called a dividend. The term by which the dividend is getting divided is called a divisor. The quotient is the term we get after dividing the dividend by a divisor.
Here in this case, the dividend is written.
-x² x x
which in the equation form is written as
-x² + x + x
add the x terms to simplify
-x² + 2x
The divisor is given as x, divide the equation by x:
(-x² + 2x)/x
(-x²/x) + (2x/x)
-x+2
Which is the quotient.
87 / 114 = x / 9918....87 people to 114 = x people to 9918
cross multiply
(114)9x) = (87)(9918)
114x = 862866
x = 862866/114
x = 7569 <===
