The correct answer is $15
Explanation:
The first step is to determine the total of oil that was used for the 5 batches. To find this, you just need to multiply the amount of oil used for one batch by the total batches.
1 cup of oil per batch x 5 batches = 5 cups of oil
This means, in the 5 batches the oil Dinesh used was 5 cups of oil. Additionally, you know the total of cups in the bottle of oil is 12 cups, and these 12 cups or total costs $36. Now to find what is the cost of the 5 cups use the rule of three and cross multiplication.
12 cups of oil = $36 1. Write the values
5 cups of oil = x
12 x = 180 2. Cross multiply this means 36x 5 and 12 multipy by x
x = 180 ÷ 12 3. Solve the equation
x= 15 - Cost for 5 cups used in the batches

2 ft : 3 in
1 ft : 3/2 in
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find 12 ft
--------------------------------------------------------------
1 ft : 3/2 in
12 ft : 3/2 x 12 in
12 ft : 18 in
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find 14 ft
--------------------------------------------------------------
1 ft : 3/2 in
14 ft : 3/2 x 14 in
14 ft : 21 in
--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The dimensions are 18 in x 21 in
--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 14
The number to the right of the decimal point is either 5 or greater than that, so the 13 is increased by 1 which results in 14.
