Arecipe that makes 36 oatmeal cookies requires 1.5 cups of oatmeal. how many cups of oatmeal would be needed to make 60 oatmeal cookies?

To solve this problem, we are going to use a proportion, letting the variable x represent the unknown number of cups of oatmeal that we need.

1.5 cups/36 cookies = x cups/60 cookies

To simplify a proportion like this, we can use cross-multiplication. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

(36)(x) = (1.5)(60)

To simplify, we begin by multiplying out each side.

36x = 90

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 36.

x = 2.5

This means that we need 2.5 cups of oatmeal to make the cookies.

Hope this helps!

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?

step-by-step explanation:

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
