For every 3 dozen cookies, a bakery uses 8 cups of butter. How many dozen of cookies could you make with 20 cups of butter?

7 1/2 dozen of cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

If for every 3 dozen cookies, a bakery uses 8 cups of butter then we can say;

3 dozens cookies = 8 cups of butter

x cups of cookies = 20 cups of butter

Cross multiply

8*x = 3 * 20

8x = 60

x = 60/8

x = 7 4/8

x = 7 1/2

Hence you will need 7 1/2 dozen of cookies

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
