A recipe for pie dough calls for a ratio of butter to flour of 1/4 :5/6.If you plan to use 5 cups of flour, how much butter should you use to keep the same ratio

 cups of butter should be use to keep the same ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A recipe for pie dough calls for a ratio of butter to flour of 1/4 :5/6.

If you plan to use 5 cups of flour.

Now, to find the butter should be used to keep the same ratio.

So, to get the quantity of butter by using unitary method:

If,  cup of flour use then butter should be = .

So, 1 cup of flour use then butter should be = =   .

Thus, for 5 cups of flour butter should be = = .

Therefore, cups of butter should be use to keep the same ratio.

3 is greater then both of those numbers

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
