Answers:
A. 1c/2lb
B. 8 cups of dressing
SOLUTION
Given that a catering company’s recipe for Salad uses a
ratio of 2c of dressing to 4 lb of vegetables
A. Write a ratio of dressing to vegetables as a reduced
fraction
A reduced fraction is the expression of a ratio in its simplest
fractional form
Dressing: Vegetable = 2c : 4 lb
In fractional form,
2c/4lb
2 is a common factor to both numerator and denominator
Therefore, in reduced fractional form,
2c/4lb = 1c/2lb
Therefore, ratio of dressing to vegetables as a reduced
fraction is 1c/2lb
B. How many cups of dressing would they need for 16 lb of
vegetables
1c = 2lb
16lb = ?
Since 1c = 2lb
2lb = 1c
1lb = 1/2 c
16lb = 16(1/2)c
16lb = 8c
Therefore, they would need 8 cups of dressing for 16 lb of
vegetables
Answer: 3 bottles of sunscreen- $22.5,
2 beach towels- $30
and 3 floats- $30.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The lines don't intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
isolate the variable y
Divide by 3 both sides
simplify
-----> equation A
Isolate the variable y
Divide by 6 both sides
simplify
-----> equation B
Compare equation A and equation B
The slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different
Remember that
If two lines has the same slope, then the lines are parallel
therefore
In this problem line A and line B are parallel lines
The system of equations has no solution, because the lines don't intercept
The answer is D because The ordered pairs graphed are (2,3), (6,9), and (8,12). They all have a ratio of 2 to 3. Which means each point is 2 larger on the x-axis and 3 larger on the y-axis than the previous point. The point that is missing is (4,6) since 2 + 2 = 4 and 3 + 3 = 6.
