Answer:

Question 3: [tex]0.1\ ounces[/tex]

Question 4: [tex]150\ cupcakes[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rule:

[tex]0.1c = i[/tex]

We know that "c" is  the number of cupcakes and "i" is the total amount of icing Celebe will need in ounces.

Question 3

In order to calculate the amount of ounces of icing Celene will use to frost 1 cupcake, you need to substitute [tex]c=1[/tex] into [tex]0.1c = i[/tex] and evaluate.

Then, you get:

[tex]0.1(1) = i\\\\i=0.1\ ounces[/tex]

Question 4.

If Celene needs 15 ounces of icing, you must subsitute [tex]i=15[/tex] into [tex]0.1c = i[/tex] and solve for "c" in order to find the number of cupcakes she is frosting.

Then:

[tex]0.1c = 15\\\\c=\frac{15}{0.1}\\\\c=150[/tex]
