A cake recipe calls for 1.5 cups of milk and 3 cups of flour. Seth made a mistake and used 5 cups of flour. How many cups of milk should he use to keep the amount of ingredients proportional?

2.5 cups of milk will make his ingredients proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he used five out of the three cups of flour he was supposed to use, you can use that as the fraction: 5/3.

Since 5/3 was used on the flour, it also has to be used on the milk

To apply it to the milk, you just multiply 5/3 × 1.5 cups of milk, which gets you 2.5 cups of milk

*Multiplying by a fraction also means of.

Example: 1/2 × 4 = 2 because two is 1/2 of 4

step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
