This recipe makes 30 shortbread fingers. Rose follows this recipe, but only wants to make 6 fingers.
How much of each ingredient does she need?

Recipe: Makes 30
120 g butter
60 g sugar
180 g flour​

24 g butter

12 g sugar

36 g flour

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe makes 30 shortbread fingers.

She wants to make 6 fingers.

6/30 = 1/5

She wants to make 1/5 of the recipe, so she needs 1/5 of each ingredient's amount.

Divide each amount by 5.

Recipe:

Makes 30           30/5 = 6               Makes 6  

120 g butter       120/5 = 24            24 g butter

60 g sugar         60/5 = 12              12 g sugar  

180 g flour​         180/5 = 36            36 g flour

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
