Answer:

  3/8 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

If all units are pounds, then we have ...

  bread = cookies - 1/8 lb

  cookies = brownies + 1/4 lb

  bread = 1/2 lb

Using the last value in the first equation, we find ...

  1/2 lb = cookies - 1/8 lb

  cookies = 5/8 lb . . . . . . . add 1/8 lb to both sides

Using this in the second equation gives ...

  5/8 lb = brownies + 1/4 lb

  3/8 lb = brownies . . . . . subtract 1/4 lb from both sides

__

Lila used 3/8 lb of flour to make the brownies.

Answer:

3/7 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore the units for the time being. Just to give it units, you could call it cups. This question is really about ratios.

Let the cookies = x

Then the bread = x - 1/8 x = 7/8x

The brownies = cookies - 1/4 cookies

The brownies = 3/4 cookies = 3/4 x

==============

Now start again.

The bread uses 1/2 cup.

That translates into 1/2 = 7/8 x

x = 1/2 // 7/8 = 4/7 cup for the cookies    (4/7 is larger than 1/2)

Whatever the cookies are, the brownies take 3/4 as much

4/7 * 3/4 = 12/28 = 3/7

The answer should be 3/7 of a cup.

The perimeter of the isosceles ?ABC with the base BC is equal to 40 cm. Perimeter of the equilateral ?BCD is 45 cm. Find AB and
Juliette [100K]

Answer: AB = 12.5, BC = 15

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Perimeter of ΔBCD = BC + CD + BD. Since it is an isoceles triangle, then BC = CD = BD. So, Perimeter of ΔBCD = 3BC

3BC = 45

<u>÷3   </u>    <u>÷3 </u>

 BC = 15

Perimeter of ΔABC = AB + BC + AC.  Since it is an isosceles triangle with BC as the base, then AB = AC. So, Perimeter of ΔABC = 2AB + BC

2AB + BC = 40

2AB + 15 = 40

<u>          -15</u>  <u> -15 </u>

2AB       = 25

<u>÷2         </u>   <u>÷2  </u>

      AB  = 12.5
