Belinda is making doughnuts. if the recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, and each cup of sugar weighs 2 3 pounds, how many pounds of sugar did she use? a) 2 pounds b) 3 4 pound c) 2 5 pound d) 11 3 pounds

D. 1 & 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Here is how I got the answer. I have to figure out what 2 cups of sugar weigh in pounds. The question says 1 cup weighs 2/3 of a pound. So what I did, was I multiplied 2/3 by 2, or 2/1. that'll give us an answer, of 1  1/3 pounds.

Hope this helped, though probably it didn't.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
