Answer 1

3) 8

4) 5.25 cups

Explanation:

3) cross multiply:

36 × 10 = 360

45 × x = 45x

equate them both:

360 = 45x

divide both sides by 45

360 ÷ 45 = 8

x = 8

4) 8 people : 3 cups of flour

14 people : how many cups?

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75

to get from 8 people to 14 people we multiply by 1.75, so do the same thing to the 3 cups:

3 × 1.75 = 5.25 cups
