The equations that could represent the quantities and constraints in this situation are:
m = 12(15) ⇒ answer a
4n = c ⇒ answer c
b = 2(3) + 3(4.50) ⇒ answer e
Step-by-step explanation:
Jada plans to serve milk and healthy cookies for a book club meeting
- She is preparing 12 ounces of milk and 4 cookies per person
- There are 15 people in the club
- A package of cookies contains 24 cookies and costs $4.50
- A 1-gallon jug of milk contains 128 ounces and costs $3
n represents number of people in the club,
m represents the ounces of milk
c represents the number of cookies
b represents Jada's budget in dollars
∵ m represents the ounces of milk
∵ She is preparing 12 ounces of milk
∵ There are 15 person in the club
∴ m = 12(15)
∵ She is preparing 4 cookies per person
∵ c represents the number of cookies
∵ n represents the number of people in the club
∴ 4n = c
∵ A package of cookies contains 24 cookies
∵ She needs = 15 × 4 = 60 cookies
∵ 60 ÷ 24 = 2.5
∴ She needs to buy 3 packages of cookies
∵ She needs = 15 × 12 = 180 ounces of milk
∵ A 1-gallon jug of milk contains 128 ounces
∵ 180 ÷ 128 = 1.406
∴ She needs to buy 2 A 1-gallon jug of milk
∵ The cost of each jug of milk is $3
∵ The cost of each package of cookies is $4.50
∵ b represents Jada's budget in dollars
∴ b = 2(3) + 3(4.50)
The equations that could represent the quantities and constraints in this situation are:
m = 12(15) ⇒ answer a
4n = c ⇒ answer c
b = 2(3) + 3(4.50) ⇒ answer e
