To start, you want to determine the inequality. You can do this by setting the number of buying n fish to be less than or equal to her current amount of money, being as it can't go over or she wouldn't be able to afford the fish. This inequality would be written so her amount of money (20) would be greater than or equal to the cost of n fish (2.5n), which would then look as such: 20≥2.5n. To solve this inequality, just solve for n by dividing both sides by 2.5, giving you 8≥n. This would mean that Becky can afford to buy up to 8 fish.
<span>A) How many cups of flour are there per serving?

= 3/2 x 1/6
= 1/4
answer: 1/4 cups of flour per serving
<span>B) how many total cups of sugar(white and brown) are there per serving?
</span>total white and brown: <span>2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1 cups (combine)

<span> (c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe?
</span>
3/2 cups of flour --------6 servings
? cups of flour -----------9 servings
9 * 3/2
-----------
6
= (13 1/2) / 6
= 2 1/4
2 1/4 ( 9 servings) - 1 1/2(6 servings) = 3/4 cups
answer: you need 3/4 more cups of flour
