Arecipe for cookies calls for 4 cups of flour, half as much sugar as flour, and half as much butter as sugar. how many cups of butter will you need if you double the recipe?

You will need 2 cups of butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to figure this out.

#1. If you need 4 cups of flour, then you will need 2 cups of sugar.

If you need 2 cups of sugar, then you will need 1 cup of butter.

Which means that if you double the recipe you will need 2 cups of butter.

#2. If you are doubling the recipe, then you will need 8 cups of flour.

Which means you will need 4 cups of sugar.

And you will need 2 cups of butter!

I hope this helps! :)

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
