<u>Answer:</u>
The amount of butter, sugar and flour does Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 butter
<u>Explanation</u>:
Consider the number of cup of flour used to be x
According to question,
Recipe calls for 1.5 times as much flour as sugar
Sugar =
Sugar = 1.5x
Butter = ½ x = 0.5x
According to question,
Flour + Sugar + Butter = 7.5
x + 1.5x + 0.5x = 7.5
3x = 7.5
x = 2.5
Sugar = 1.5x = 1.5(2.5) = 3.75
Butter = 0.5(2.5) = 1.25
Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 cups butter
it wants you to make a table of the inputs and out puts, and what is the pattern that is happening. like is it a constant increase/decrease and things like that. i'll help you on the table...
x | y
1 | 5
2 | 4
3 | 3
4 | 2
(i am not sure what that 40 is at the end, but You get the point)
now all you have to do is identify the sequence or pattern you see here
Step-by-step explanation:
by using similarity and enlargement
10/8 = 7+y/7
70=56+8y
8y=14
y= 7/4
10/8 = 5+x/5
50=40+8x
x = 8/10 = 4/5
