Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function switch variables out and solve for y

y=(x+3)/x swap variables to get

(y+3)/y=x then solve for y

y+3=yx

y-yx+3=0

y-yx=-3

y(1-x)=-3

y=-3/(1-x)

y=3/(x-1)

Total in pints=2 pints+1 pint+0.56 pints
Total in pints=3.56 pints

2. Amount of lemonade in cups:

Total in cups=(3.56 pints)(2 cups/1 pint)
Total in cups=7.12 cups

3. Amount of lemonade in ounces:

Total in ounces=(7.12 cups)(8 ounces/1 cup)
Total in ounces=56.96 ounces

The first blank is proportional because two quantities is one in which the two quantities vary directly with one and other. If one item is doubled, the other, related item is also doubled. Because of this, it is also called a direct variation.
