Start by taking the information we know, and write equations to represent the realationships:
1) "1/8 lbs less flour to make bread than to make cookies"
2) "1/4 lb more flour to make cookies than to make brownies:
3) "she used 1/2 lb of flour ro make bread"
From here you can solve for
using back substitution.

Problem 1
Draw a straight line and plot P anywhere on it. Use the compass to trace out a faint circle of radius 8 cm with center P. This circle crosses the previous line at point Q.
Repeat these steps to set up another circle centered at Q and keep the radius the same. The two circles cross at two locations. Let's mark one of those locations point X. From here, we could connect points X, P, Q to form an equilateral triangle. However, we only want the 60 degree angle from it.
With P as the center, draw another circle with radius 7.5 cm. This circle will cross the ray PX at location R.
Refer to the diagram below.
=====================================================
Problem 2
I'm not sure why your teacher wants you to use a compass and straightedge to construct an 80 degree angle. Such a task is not possible. The proof is lengthy but look up the term "constructible angles" and you'll find that only angles of the form 3n are possible to make with compass/straight edge.
In other words, you can only do multiples of 3. Unfortunately 80 is not a multiple of 3. I used GeoGebra to create the image below, as well as problem 1.
Answer:
slope = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope of a line when knowing 2 points by using the slope formula, 
. 
and 
represent the x and y values of the first point, respectively. 
and 
represent the x and y values of the second point, respectively.
The two points we have are (2,8) and (0,0). So, in this case, = 2, = 8, = 0, and = 0. Let's substitute those values into the formula and solve to get the slope:
So, the slope is 4.
