Reba is baking cookies for the holidays to give out to everyone as gifts. since she has so many friends she is planning on baking a lot of cookies and has had to multiple the recipe by a factor of 7. the new recipe calls for 12/3 cups or milk, 16/5 cups of flour, 3/2 cups of eggs, 1/2 cup of nuts, and 1/3 cup vanilla.

1. how many cups is the recipe in total?

2. reba finds out one of her friends is allergic to nuts so she takes the nuts out. how many cups is the recipe now?

3. reba only has bowls measured in cups. what is the smallest bowl reba could use?

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.
