Q= 9 D=3 N=5 those are the answers
1. In a week there are 7 days. So your andwer would be 21/10. The decimal is 2.1.
1. Each term in this polynomial has a common factor of 
:
2. Not sure what the "vertical method" is, but I would guess it refers to some way of visualizing the distributive property.
3. You can use the same approach as in (2), or recall that 
:
4. Recall that a difference of squares can be factored as 
. So
First answer: 12
Second answer: 6

How to get these answers
She uses 1/3 of a cup for 1 cake, so we have this ratio
1/3 cup : 1 cake
Multiply both sides by 3 and we end up with
1 cup : 3 cakes
Then multiply both sides by 4 to change "1 cup" to "4 cups" and we have
4 cups : 12 cakes which is the answer to the first part
-------------
For part 2, we'll follow the same steps as before, but instead of multiplying both sides by 4, we do 2 instead because we're dealing with 2 cups of oil.
1/3 cup : 1 cake
3*(1/3 cup) : 3*(1 cake)
1 cup : 3 cakes
2*(1 cup) : 2*(3 cakes)
2 cups : 6 cakes which is the answer to the second part
