Answer:

A. 15 cups

B. Diagram below

We are given that,

The ratio of dressing to the vegetables is 2 cups : 4 pounds.

A. It is given that the vegetables are of 30 pounds.

Let the number of cups be x.

Since, the ratio of dressings and vegetables will remain same.

We have,

\frac{2}{4}=\frac{x}{30}

i.e. x=\frac{2\times 30}{4}

i.e. x= 15

Thus, we will need 15 cups of dressings for 30 pounds of vegetables.

B. As we have obtained the fractions,

2 cups : 4 pounds and 15 cups : 30 pounds

Using the butterfly method, we see from the diagram that these fractions are equivalent because the product of the numbers is equal to 60.

Answer:

(0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look carefully at the y-axis.  What is the y-coordinate where the curve crosses the y-axis?  It's y = 4.  Thus, the y-intercept is (0, 4).

It just so happens that (0, 4) is also the maximum of the function represented here.
