You have been asked to analyze the popcorn recipes of three different local theatres in order to figure out which theatre has th
e best popcorn. In this case, the "best" popcorn is the most buttery! In your quest to find the best, you meet with each theatre manager individually and ask for the ratio of oil to popcorn kernels that they use in their recipes. Here are their responses. The manager of Theatre A says that they usually go through about 15 cups of popcorn kernels and about 5 cups of oil each weeknight.
The manager of Theatre B says that they order 18 cups of oil and 72 cups of popcorn kernels each week.
The manager of Theatre C says that their concessions use 6 cups of oil and 32 cups of popcorn kernels on a busy Saturday.
Find the ratio value of oil to popcorn kernels for each theatre. Then, complete the multiplication statements. Type your answers as numbers. Use / for the fraction bar, if necessary. Theatre A's recipe calls for a0 cup oil for every cup of popcorn kernels.
The equation (y + 5) + y = 6 shows the substitution method being used to solve the system of linear equations. So the correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D". For a better explanation, let us first write down the two equations given in the question. x + 5 = 6 and x = y + 5 Now the thing that has been done is that the value of x in the first equation has been replaced by the value of x that is given in the second equation. this is actually the substitution method of solving equations.
