Answer:
2 cups of peanut butter
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Carter's famous peanut butter cookies call for 1 cup of peanut butter for every 1/2 of a cup of oil. Today, she wants to make a huge batch with 1 cup of oil. How much peanut butter should she use?
From the above question:
1/2 cup of oil = 1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of oil = x
Cross Multiply
1/2x = 1 × 1
x = 1 ÷ 1/2
x = 1 × 2/1
x = 2 cups of peanut butter.
Therefore, for huge batch with 1 cup of oil, she should use 2 cups of peanut butter.
Answer:
Slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
(x₁ , y₁) = (-9 , -4) & (x₂ ,y₂) = (-3, -6)
Slope = 
![= \frac{-6-[-4]}{-3-[-9]}\\\\= \frac{-6+4}{-3+9}\\\\= \frac{-2}{6}\\\\= \frac{-1}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-6-%5B-4%5D%7D%7B-3-%5B-9%5D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-6%2B4%7D%7B-3%2B9%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-2%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-1%7D%7B3%7D)
The answer is 33%. To work out a percentage increase we work out the increase, so the difference between 12 and 16 is 4. We divide this by the original amount (12) and times it by 100, which gives you 33.333(recurring) which is rounded to 33%. Hope this helps!
Answer:
-3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
the opposite changes the sign from positive to negative, so the opposite of 3.75 would be -3.75
Solve for x. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, multiply 3 to both sides
6(3) = ((x + 2)/3)(3)
18 = x + 2
Finally, isolate the x. Subtract 2 from both sides
18 (-2) = x + 2 (-2)
x = 18 - 2
x = 16
16 is your answer for x
