The weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4
<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>
It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.
We have:
A greedy hamster hoarded 2 piles of sunflower seeds. Yesterday the ratio of the seeds in these piles was 3:4
Let 3x and 4x are the seeds from the smaller and bigger pile.
= 4x + 2 (greedy hamster placed another 2 pounds of seeds in the bigger pile)
= 3x - 1/4 (ate 1/4 pound from the smaller pile)
4x + 2 = 5x
Because the quantities of seeds in those piles is in the ratio of 5:16
After solving:
x = 2
Smaller pile weight = 3x = 3(2) = 6
Bigger pile wieght = 4x = 4(2) = 8
Thus, the weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4

Hint to start out the problem:
eg. For f(4), use the first expression, (x-3)^2 because 4 is greater than 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2b + 2c
7(-6) - 3
-42 -3
-45
Your answer is -45
1. If the line that we are searching for is perpendicular to the line y = -4x, this means that the gradient of our line and the gradient of the perpendicular line will multiply to give -1. Thus if we call the gradient of our line m, then:
m*(-4) = -1
-4m = -1
m = 1/4
2. Since we know that m = 1/4 and we have a point (2,6) on our line, we can use the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) to find the equation of our line, where (x1, y1) is the coordinates of a point on the line. Thus:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 6 = (1/4)(x - 2)
y - 6 = (1/4)x - 2/4 (Expand (1/4)(x - 2))
y = (1/4)x - 1/2 + 6 (Simplify 2/4 and add 6 to each side)
y = (1/4)x + 11/2 (Evaluate -1/2 + 6)
Slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c. As our equation is already in this form, there is nothing more to do. Thus, the answer is y = (1/4)x + 11/2
