Thing 1
A. You can set up a proportion by dividing how much of something there is by the original. (This probably doesn't make much sense but I hope you can understand it from the answer to the problem below!)
B.First, do 168/21 to see how many more times he put flour in.
168/21= 8
Then to find out the milk in the same proportion do the number (in this case 8) times the original of the thing you wan to find out.
8x9=72
72 tablespoons of milk are needed for 168 cups of flour in this adapted recipe.
Thing 2
24/36=8y
To solve any equation, you want to have letters on one side and numbers on the other, so...
-8 from both sides...
(24/36)-8=y
24/36=0.6
y=(0.6-8)
y=-7.4
Hope this helps :)
4 pounds. if you divide the number of pounds by gallons you get the amount of pounds per gallon. 8 divided by 2 is 4.
The answer I got was 4 cans. I really hope my math was right!
Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from the point (-2, 4) to the point (3, 4), x increases by 5 units, but y stays the same. We know immediately that the slope, m = rise / run, is zero, because of this.
Both points are on the horizontal line y = 4. This answer is sufficient in itself, but could be re-written as y = 0x + 4.
