Hence, Chrisitan requires 3/16 cups of brown sugar.
Therefore, the total cups of sugar required is the sum of

3/4 cups of sugar.
Given:

To find the factors:
The given equation can be written as,

Hence, the factors are 2,(x+4), and (x+6).
14.8 with a line over the 8
It is rational because it repeats
it is rational because it can be written as a fraction
for the answer I think it is 2 cm
