Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
each pound has 3.6 cups
1/4 of a pound can be multiplied
3.6 x 1/4 = 0.9
then we subtract 4 - 3.6 = 0.4 say if the question was for one pound
But we have to find 14.4 cups instead as;
3.6 x 4 = 14.4 = 4 pounds
We go back to 0.9 are first smaller serving = 1/4 cup
14.4/0.9 = 16
a
x=3
24/x =x+15
24-15=x^2
1:4 or 1/4
9 cm : 36 cm
They both can be divided by 9 so,
9 ÷ 9 : 36 ÷ 9
= 1 : 4
Hope this helps
