1 answer:

6 0

This is a Multiple Step problem.Which means that you have to do a few steps before you get the answer.First,you do,30x35,then the answer,(product)to that,you multiply that answer to 50,then find out the answer to that,then divide 1 million by that answer,then you will get the year.

<h3>What is the general equation of a Straight line? How it represents a proportional relationship?</h3>

The general equation of a straight line is -

[y] = [m]x + [c]

where -

[m] is slope of line which tells the unit rate of change of [y] with respect to [x].

[c] is the y - intercept i.e. the point where the graph cuts the [y] axis.

y = mx also represents direct proportionality. We can write [m] as -

m = y/x

y₁/x₁ = y₂/x₂

We have a cafeteria serves lemonade that is made from a powdered drink mix. There is a proportional relationship between the number of scoops of powdered drink mix and the amount of water needed to make it. For every 2 scoops of mix, one-half gallon of water is needed, and for every 6 scoops of mix, one and one-half gallons of water are needed.

We can write the proportional relationship as -

y = kx

Now, from the given information, we can write -

2 scoops need 0.5 gallon of water

6 scoops need 1.5 gallon of water

So -

k = 2/0.5

k = 2/(1/2)

k = 2 x 2 = 4

Equations that represents the relationship can be written as -

y = 4x + c

Now, 2 scoops need 0.5 gallon of water.
