1. Find number of ounces:
8 + 12 pounds x 16 ounces in a pound = total ounces
8 + 12 * 16 = 200 ounces
2. Take total, divide by the amount
200 ounces / 4 ounces for each cookie = how many cookies he can make
200/4 = 50
50 cookies
Answer:
Mr. Lawton can make 50 batches of sugar cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we need to convert the 12 pounds to ounces and the conversion rate is 1 pound=16 ounces so 12*16=192+8=200. because each batch needs 4 ounches you divide 200 by 4 to get 50

8x - 2 = 7x - 9
8x - 2 - 7x = 7x - 9 - 7x
x - 2 = -9
x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 2
x = -7
q/3 - 3 =6
add 3 to each side
q/3 = 9
multiply both sides by 3
q = 9 *3 = 27
