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

Given the endpoint A(1, 3) and the midpoint C(6, 2), find the other endpoint B(x, y).
Tpy6a [65]

Right away we know we don't have fractions; the midpoint is the average of the coordinates, so if it and one endpoint are integers so is the other endpoint.

We can do a kind of point arithmetic:

C = (A+B)/2

2C = A+B

B = 2C - A

B = 2(6,1) - (1,3) = (12,2)-(1,3)=(11,-1)

Answer: That's none of the above, but a typo away from the first choice.

Roger is x centimeters tall and Olivia is y centimeters tall. Their oldest sister, Isabella, is 25 centimeters shorter than the
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

<h2><em>[2(x+y)-25]cm</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of their oldest sister isabella be z centimeters. Roger is x centimeters tall and Olivia is y centimeters tall.

If their oldest sister, Isabella, is 25 centimeters shorter than the double of the sum of Roger and Olivia's height, this can be expressed as shown;

First let us get the sum of Roger and Olivia's height;

The sum of Roger and Olivia's height = (x+y)cm

The double of the sum of their ages = 2* (x+y)cm = 2(x+y)cm

Now if Isabella, is 25 centimeters shorter than the double of the sum of their ages, the expression will be [2(x+y)-25]

<em>Since the height of isabella is z, the expression that model isabella's height will be expressed as z =[2(x+y)-25]cm</em>

Ivan has 15 yards of green felt and 12 yards of blue felt to make 3 quilts. If Ivan uses the same total number of yards for each
Amanda [17]
You're just dividing the total yards of each felt evenly across the 3 quilts. 15/3 and 12/3 mean Ivan will use 5 yards of green felt and 4 yards of blue felt per quilt, for a total of 9 yards per quilt.
