Answer:

The answer is 160

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 2 hours to bake 20 cupcakes, then the rate is:

20 cupcakes in 120 minutes

Which is equal to 1 cupcake in 6 minutes

Therefore, in 16 hours, or in 16*60=960 minutes, the number of cupcakes that could be made can be found using proportion:

Let's denote the number of cupcakes that could be made in 960 minutes as 'x'

Then:

1 cupcake - 6 minutes

x cupcakes - 960 minutes

Find x: x=(960 * 1)/6=160 cupcakes

Thus, the answer is 160

In parallelogram EFGH, the measure of angle G is (4x + 16)° and the measure of angle H is (2x − 16)°. What is the measure of ang

asambeis [7]

Answer:

m∠H = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary. So,

∠H and ∠G are supplementary

4x + 16 + 2x - 16 = 180

6x = 180

x = 30

m∠H = 2x - 16 = 2(30) - 16 = 60 - 16 = 44°
