1. 4n + 28
2. 30-10x
3. 3m+3n
4. 8+2j
Thing 1
A. You can set up a proportion by dividing how much of something there is by the original. (This probably doesn't make much sense but I hope you can understand it from the answer to the problem below!)
B.First, do 168/21 to see how many more times he put flour in.
168/21= 8
Then to find out the milk in the same proportion do the number (in this case 8) times the original of the thing you wan to find out.
8x9=72
72 tablespoons of milk are needed for 168 cups of flour in this adapted recipe.
Thing 2
24/36=8y
To solve any equation, you want to have letters on one side and numbers on the other, so...
-8 from both sides...
(24/36)-8=y
24/36=0.6
y=(0.6-8)
y=-7.4
Hope this helps :)
P(5 on one throw) = 1/8
expected number of 5's in 400 throws = 1/8 * 400 = 50
25/5 as a mixed number would be 5.
