Answer:
72 cupcakes
Step-by-step explanation:
Morgan can make 4 cupcakes with one cup of flour. She has 18 cups of flour and suppose she can make x cupcakes, then
1 cup of flour - 4 cupcakes
18 cups of flour - x cupcakes
Write a proportion:
Cross multiply:
1/7 is your answer. It can't be reduced any further. If there is supposed to be a problem, next time, add it.
We are given a coordinate (4,16).
Where first coordinate is the value of x and second coordinate is the value of y for the function y=f(x).
We need to find the value of given point (4,16) for function y= 0.5f(x).
Here function f(x) is being multiplied by 0.5.
On multiplying 0.5 by y, it will effect the value of y only. It does not effect value of x . Because x value is still x. Only function f(x) is being multiplied by 0.5.
Therefore, y= 0.5f(4) = 0.5 * 16 = 8.
So, (4,8) is the point on the graph of y = 0.5f(x) corresponds to (4, 16).
