Answer:

6.25 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion expression:

2.5/48 = x/120

Let x be the amount of sugar needed to make 120 sugar cookies.

Cross multiply:

120*2.5=48x

48x=300

x=6.25

So, you would need 6 1/4 cups or 6.25 cups of sugar to make 120 sugar cookies.

Slove for x mx+2nx=p
prisoha [69]
Solve for x.

mx+2nx=p

Factor out variable x.

x(m+2n)=p

Divide both sides by m+2n.

x(m+2n) / m+2n = p / m+2n

x=p / m+2n

a scale drawing of a bus has a scale of 1/2 inch to 5 feet. If the length of the school bus is 4 1/2 inches on the scale drawing
TEA [102]

Let x feet be the actual length of the school bus. You know that in a scale drawing

\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ inch } - 5 \text{ feet},

then

4\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ inch } - x \text{ feet}.

Write a proportion:

\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{4\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{5}{x}\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5\cdot 4\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{5\cdot \frac{9}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{\frac{45}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{45}{2}\cdot \dfrac{2}{1}=45\text{ feet.}

Answer: the actual length of the school bus is 45 feet.
