If the recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75, then for 24 people it will cost $x. You can write this statement as
6 people - $9.75,
24 people - $x.
Or as proportion,
Find x:
Answer: It would cost $39 to serve 24 people

Answer:
r = 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, solve the equation for r:
y = rx
y/x = r . . . . . . . divide by x
__
Since r is a constant, it will be the same for any corresponding pairs of x and y. It is convenient to choose both x and y as integers, as in the third table entry.
r = y/x = 5/45
r = 1/9 . . . . . . . . . reduced fraction
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It is not a bad idea to check to see that this works with other values of x and y. For the first line of the table, we have x = 11:
y = rx = (1/9)(11) = 11/9 = 1 2/9 . . . . matches the table value
The answer would b be d 8 I think
Answer:
b is the y- intercept
