Answer:

The number of Pumpkin can used   = 48 cans

The number of Green Beans can used =   16 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Pumpkin to Green Beans =  3 :  1

So, for every 3 can of Pumpkin, 1 can of green beans is used.

Now, the total number of  John  wants to use = 64

Let us assume the common factor in the ratio is m.

⇒ The number of Pumpkin can used  = 3 m

The number of Green Beans can used = 1 m = m

So, the Total cans used = Number of (Pumpkin + Green Beans) can

⇒ 3 m + m = 64

or, 4 m =  64

⇒ m = 64/ 4 = 16

Hence, The number of Pumpkin can used  = 3 m = 3 x 16 = 48 cans

The number of Green Beans can used = m =  16 cans

Without simplifying, identify the slope of the line given by the equation y-5=-2(x+5)
CaHeK987 [17]
Slope is a number in front of x, so slope is (-2)

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-5= -2(x+5)
y-5= -2(x-(-5))
so y1=5, x1=-5, a point is  (x1,y1), so the point is (-5,5)
