Answer:

Call the numbers a, b, c, d. What does it say if their mean is 15? That would be that added together then divided by 4 you get 15. So the number before you divided by 4, which is the sum, was 60. If you know some algebra, the equation (a+b+c+d)/4=15 gives the sum of 60 when you multiply both sides

Hey there,

Each cake recipe would call for $\boxed{1}$ cup of oil.

So if she is going to make 12 cakes, this would include that she
would need to use 12 cups of oil.

$\boxed{12}$ would be your answer!

Hope this helps.

You can solve this by using "similar triangles".

In triangle ABC, we are looking for side AC which is x. Side AC is similar to side DF in triangle EDF.

You can solve for side x by picking two sides in triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle EDF. This is what I mean:
$\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{DF}{EF}$
Substitute for the values of AC, BC, DF and EF:
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{11}{8} \\ \\ 8x = 4 \times 11 \\ \\ x = \frac{44}{8}$
$x = 5.5 \: units$
To solve for y, do the same thing. Pick two sides on triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle DEF.
$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{DE}{EF}$
Substitute for the values and solve:
$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{y}{8}$
$4y = 24 \\ \\ y = 6 \: units$

We have the value x to be 5.5 units and y to be 6 units.
