The answer would be 28 because u count 7 4 times
Use the elimination process
The inverse operation of subtraction is addition. Lets use the inverse operation to solve x. Lets do it:-
x - 5.6 = -1.7
-1.7 + 5.6 = x
-1.7 + 5.6 = 3.9
x = 3.9
CHECK OUR WORK:-
3.9 - 5.6 = -1.7
We were RIGHT!!
So, x = 3.9.
Hope I helped ya!!
There are a couple of ways to look at this.
1) Set up a ratio: 2 cups sugar to 5 cups flour = 5 cups sugar to x cups flour
2/5 = 5/x
cross multiply
2x = 25
x = 12 1/2 cups flour
2) Look at the factor by which the cups of sugar was increased and increase
the cups of flour by the same factor.
2x = 5
x = 2.5
The sugar was increased by a factor of 2.5 so increase flour by same factor.
5(2.5) = 12 1/2 cups flour
