A recipe for oatmeal cookies calls for 5 cups of flour for every 6 cups of oatmeal. How much flour is needed for a big batch of cookies that uses 18 cups of oatmeal?

15

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you need to find out how many groups of 6 cups of oatmeal there are. So for this just do 18/6=3

So now you should be able to find the amount of flour by doing 5*3=15

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
