Method 1:

\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&x\ \text{cup of water}\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot x=\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}x=\dfrac{3}{4}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\\boxed{x=3}

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>

Method 2:

\begin{matrix}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&1\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\1\ \text{cup of corn}&-&2\ \text{cup of water}&|\end{matrix}

\begin{matrix}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+1\right)\ \text{cups of corn}&-&(1+2)\ \text{cups of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cups of corn}&-&3\ \text{cups of water}\end{matrix}

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>

The ratio is 0.25:0.5

If he uses 1.5 cups of corn grits, the ratio is multiplied by 6.

So:

1.5 : 3.0

He will need 3 cups of water.

6c - (3 – 3c) = 24<br> Solve equation step by step
kap26 [50]

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{c = 3}

6c - (3 - 3c) = 24

Distribute the negative sign with terms inside the parenthesis;

6c - (3) - (-3c) = 24

6c - 3 + 3c = 24

Combine like terms:

9c - 3 = 24

Add 3 to both sides:

9c = 27

Divide both sides by 9:

c = 3.

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST
nadya68 [22]

OK.  All the work is in the attached drawing.

Please spend enough time with it to understand what was done and how, so that you can do the next problem like this one completely on your own.

Good luck !

==============================

Here's a picky pickypoint to think about concerning the "cost".  I'm not quite sure what to do about this:

The initial, one-time $55 is a "deposit".  If she doesn't smash the bike or steal it, she gets the $55 back when she returns the bike.  

So if she eventually gets the $55 back, <u><em>is it a cost</em></u> ? ?  I don't know how to think about it.

She does need to <em>give</em> them the $55 at the beginning, just to take the bike out.  So she has to have it with her and give it to them temporarily, even though she'll  get it back, and she'll still have it when she returns home.

So here's the story:  

-- While she HAS the bike, the graph correctly shows all the money she needs, in order to get the bike, and keep it for however long she keeps it.

-- Finally, at the end of the week, after she returns the bike and gets her $55 back, the line and everything on the graph will shift down by $55.  The line will start at zero, and the little red ordered pairs will also shift straight down and still be on the line.

To put it one more way:

-- While Jen has the bike, the y-intercept of the graph is $55.

-- After she returns the bike in good condition, the y-intercept is zero.

The constant of proportionality for this relationship is
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: The constant of proportionality is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for constant of proportionality is y=KX. the K stands for the constant of proportionality and since the constant proportionality is 1.5 you will take 1.5 * x and for example x is 2 so you do 1.5 * 2 and you get 3 and 3 is your y. If you plug in the equation you're saying 3 equals 1.5 * 2 which is right.
