Answer:

B. 8 batches of cookies

Step-by-step explanation:  

We need to solve for x.

5 1/3 = 16/3

Use proportions to solve

2/3 cups = 1 batch of cookies

16/3 cups = x

Use cross multiplication

2/3 × x = 16 /3

2x/ 3 = 16/3

Multiply each side of the equation

2/3 × 3/2 x = 16/3 × 3/2

6x /6 = 48 / 6

x = 8

Answer: 8 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the number of batches she made, we can just use proportion to solve it. But first, we need to convert 5 1/3 to improper fraction
5 1/3 = 16/3
Then we can now use the proportion to solve
2/3 cups = 1 batch
16/3 cups = x (note:5 1/3=16/3)
cross multiply
2/3 × x = 16 /3
2x/ 3 = 16/3
we need to make x the subject of the formula, to do that we will multiply each side of the equation by 3/2
2/3 × 3/2 x = 16/3 × 3/2
6x /6 = 48 / 6
x = 8
Therefore she made 8 batches of cookies.

Twice a number is equal to 35 more than seven times the number. Find the number
amm1812

number - n

Twice a number - 2n

Seven times the number - 7n


2n = 7n +35

7n-2n = -35

5n = -35

n = - 7


Check:

2(-7) = 7(-7) +35

-14 = -49 + 35

-14 = -14 True


The number is (- 7).
