Answer:

2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1.2 cups of Strawberries gives you 3 grams of sugar, doubling the amount of strawberries would be too much, 6 grams. But, since the amount needed is 2 grams, that is 2/3 of 1.2 cups of strawberries. 2/3 of 1.2 is 0.8, so add the original amount of srawberries with 2/3 of the 1.2 cups and you get 1.2 cups+ 0.8 cups= 2 cups

Answer:

The value of $x$ is 10º.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Euclidean Geometry we remember that the sum of internal angles within a triangle equals to 180º. We present the resulting triangle after applying some geometric handling in the image attached below. Then, the triangle satisfies the following equation:

$100^{\circ} + (80^{\circ}-5\cdot x)+(4\cdot x +10^{\circ}) = 180^{\circ}$ (1)
