Clifford is making a really big white cake for his sisters birthday. the recipe calls for 1.5 times as much flour as sugar. it also calls for 1/2 as much butter as sugar. all the butter, flour, and sugar together total7.5 cups. how much butter, sugar and flour does clifford need?

The amount of butter, sugar and flour does Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 butter

Explanation:

Consider the number of cup of flour used to be x

According to question,

Recipe calls for 1.5 times as much flour as sugar

Sugar =

Sugar = 1.5x

Butter = ½ x = 0.5x

According to question,  

Flour + Sugar + Butter = 7.5

x + 1.5x + 0.5x = 7.5

3x = 7.5

x = 2.5

Sugar = 1.5x = 1.5(2.5) = 3.75

Butter = 0.5(2.5) = 1.25

Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 cups butter

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
