Mike wants to make meatloaf. His recipe uses a total of 8 lbs of meat. If he uses a 3 to 1 ratio of beef to pork how much pork w
ill he use?
2 answers:
2 pounds of pork, 6 pounds beef
Let x represent the amount of beef and y represent the amount of pork Mike used in recipe.
He used total 8 lbs of meat, so we can write:
x + y = 8
He uses 3:1 ratio of beef to pork, so we can write:
x :y = 3 : 1
x = 3y
Using this value of x in first equation, we get:
3y + y =8
4y = 8
y = 2
x = 3y = 3(2) = 6
This means Mike used 6 lbs of beef and 2 lbs of pork for his recipe

Answer is:
x ≥ -18/5
2+4/9x ≥ 4+x
4/9x-x ≥4-2
4/9x-9/9x ≥2
- 5/9x ≥2 multiple by 9
-5x ≥2•9
-5x ≥18
x ≥ -5/18
X=25 in this equation. But if u divide by 12 it’s -25
