First, I know that for 2 cups of raisins for every 9 cups of trail mix and I am going to divide, 9÷2 and got 4.5 so for every cup of raisins, I need to multiply it by 4.5 to get how much trail mix I had in total so I need to multiply 12× 4.5. to get my answer so 12×4.5=54 so I had 54 cups of trail mix.



I hope this helped

So ratio si 2 to 9 or 2:9
so 12 cups of rasins to x cups of trail mix
ratio is 12 to x or 12:x

it has to be the same ratio so makek fractions and
2/9=12/x
solve for x
mulitply both sides by x
2x/9=12
multiply both sides by 9
2x=108
divide by 2
x=54
answer is 54 cups of trail mix

What is the rate of change for a linear function that passes through the points (8, -10) and (-6, 14)
Anna71 [15]

Answer: m=-1.714

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

 m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714

Katie is buying souvenir.gifts for her big family back home. She wants to buy everyone either a key chain or a magnet. The magne
NikAS [45]
The total number of gifts = x+y.
The inequality is:
x+y  \geq 24

Key chains cost $1, Magnets $0.50
Total Cost = x + 0.5y
Inequality is:
x+0.5y  \leq 20

Without graphing you can solve system by using substitution:
y = 24 - x  \\  \\ x + 0.5(24-x) = 20   \\  \\ 0.5x +12 = 20  \\  \\ x = 16 \\  \\ y = 24-16 = 8

This is one solution where the maximum x value is given.
So the most keychains that can be purchased is 16. However, because magnets are cheaper, more can be purchased as long as cost remains under 20.

If you solve both inequalities for "y", you get the upper and lower bounds for how many magnets can be purchased given a quantity of keychains.

24-x  \leq y  \leq 40 -2x \\  \\ x \leq 16

This is complete solution which gives all possible combinations.

(x – 3)(4x + 2) using the distributive property. Select the answer choice showing the correct distribution
Nataly [62]

The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

(x - 3)(4x + 2) = (x)(4x + 2) + (-3)(4x + 2)

= (x)(4x) + (x)(2) + (-3)(4x) + (-3)(2) = 4x² + 2x - 12x - 6

<h3>= 4x² - 10x - 6</h3>
