Given:
3 teaspoons of salt for every 5 cups of flour.
How much salt is needed for 15 cups of flour?
This is a proportion problem:
a/b = c/d where ad = bc
3/5 = x/15
3*15 = 5x
45 = 5x
45/5 = x
9 = x
C. 9 teaspoons of salt is needed for 15 cups of flour.
3/5 = 9/15
3*15 = 5*9
45 = 45
Answer:
0.056
Step-by-step explanation:
,
18 / 1 = x / 15......18 miles to 1 gallon = x miles to 15 gallon
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (18)(15)
x = 270 miles
Answer:
x≈3.35, or the square root of 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorian therom. 3²+1.5²=x²
(Half of 3 is 1.5 and the line splits it in half)
