B cups of dough divided into 3 equal parts. Each clump doubles in size. Now each clump is made of 4 cups of dough. How many cups of dough did kitty start with

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that B cups of dough divided into 3 equal parts.

So each part will have

[tex]\frac{B}{3}[/tex] cups

Since it is given to double we can expect after doubling available cups in each part wouldbe

[tex]\frac{2B}{3}[/tex]

This is given to equal 4

Equate and solve for B

[tex]\frac{2B}{3}=4\\2B =4*3\\B=6[/tex]

Hence Kitty started with 6 cups of dough
