Direct variation. Have a nice day!
The ratio of the number of cups of apple juice to lemon-lime soda is 6:1.
If there is a point on the graph at (1, 6), where the x-coordinate the number of cups of lemon-lime soda and y-coordinate is the number of cups of apple juice, you can deduce the ratio (6 cups of apple juice for 1 cup of lemon-lime soda).
As you imagine on the graph, this pattern continues, with 2 cups of lemon-lime soda for 12 cups of apple juice, that simplifies to 1 cup of lemon-lime soda for 6 cups of apple juice. Since the question asks for the ratio of apple juice to lemon-lime soda, you just reverse the values and get 6:1
Answer:
1.4 hour, or 1 hr 24 min
Step-by-step explanation:
The trains separate at the rate (80 + 90) mph.
Recall that distance = rate times time, or time = distance / rate.
238 mi
Here, the elapsed time is -------------- = 1.4 hr, or 1 hr 24 min
170 mph
There may be more than one way in which to answer this question. I will assume that the "equation" is a linear one: f(x) = mx + b.
Then (16/3) = m(1) + b
This is one equation in two unknowns, so it does not have a unique solution. Was there more to this problem than you have shared?
If we assume that the y-intercept (b) is zero, then y = mx, and
16/3 = 1m, so that m = 16/3, and so y = (16/3)x.
