Answer:

2. Cecilia uses 3 cups of flour for 36 cookies

4. Cecilia is making 3/4 of the original recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Recipe for 48 cookies

Flour = 4 cups

Sugar = 1 1/3 cups

Recipe for 36 cookies

48 cookies : 36 cookies

= 4 : 3

Flour used in 36 cookies = x cups

Flour used in 48 cookies = 4 cups

4 cups : x cups

4 : 3 = 4 : x

4/3 = 4/x

4*x = 3*4

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3 cups

Sugar = 1 1/3 cups

Sugar used in 36 cookies = y cups

Sugar used in 48 cookies = 1 1/3 cups

4 : 3 = 1 1/3 : y

4/3 = 4/3 ÷ y

4/3 = 4/3 × 1/y

4/3 = 4/3y

4*3y = 3*3

12y = 9

y = 9/12

= 3/4

y = 3/4

The true statement are:

2. Cecilia uses 3 cups of flour for 36 cookies

4. Cecilia is making 3/4 of the original recipe

At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.

Let x be  the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals

Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.

x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals

Derek made 7 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x

John made 5 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)

Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end

(A) 7x = 5(x+5)

(B) Solve for x

7x = 5x + 25

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x = 25

Divide by 2

x = 12.5

(C) check your solution

we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25

7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25

87.5 = 62.5+ 25

87.5 = 87.5

(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars
