Answer:
49
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be unknown number which should be added to numbers 1, 11, 23 to get geometric progression. Then numbers 1 + x, 11 + x, 23 + x are first three terms of geometric progression.
Hence,

Solve this equation. Cross multiply:

You will need 6 cups of sugar.
Step - by - Step Explanation
What to find? <em>The number of cups of sugar needed to make a cake with 12 cups of flour.</em>
<em />
Given:
Cups of flours = 4
Cups of sugar = 2
Cups of flour =12
Let x be the number of cups of sugar needed to make a cake with 12 cups of flour.
Using proportion;
4 cups of flour = 2 cups of sugar
12 cups of flour = x
Cross - multiply
4x = 24
Divide both-side of the equation by 4

x =6
Hence, you will need 6 cups of sugar.
