<em><u>ANSWER</u></em>
My answer is in the photo above
The figures on the top left and the bottom right have rotational symmetry.
You first have to set up the two equations. Y is equal to the total number of gallons in a tank and x is equal to the number of hours the tanks are filling.
Since the two equations both equal y I can make them equal each other. I then solved for x as you see and got -4.
Once I found my x value I now needed to find my y. You only needed to chose one equation to solve for y, so I decided to do the first one. I plugged in -4 where my x value currently was and solved for y. I got 2.
If you have any questions please comment!! Hope this helps!!
Answer:
So, when we solve for x we see that we can make 16 cookies using 1 cup of sugar. Then, yes, as you suggested we could divide 30 cookies by this ratio to see that we need less than 2 cups of sugar to make 30 cookies: And, as you said, this value is less than 2 cups, the value under Quantity B. Good job! I hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
7 - 3 1/4 = (turn mixed number to improper fraction
7 - 13/4 = (common denominator is 4)
28/4 - 13/4 =
15/4 or 3 3/4 gallons remain in the tank
