Answer: C. 3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In recipe for 5 people, Required Gulf shrimp = 1\dfrac14 cups

Since, 1\dfrac14=\dfrac{5}{4}

Required Gulf shrimp = \dfrac54 cups

Then, for 1 people Gulf shrimp required = \dfrac{5}{4}\div 5

=\dfrac54\times\dfrac{1}{5}

=\dfrac14 cup

For 12 people, it is required = 12\times\dfrac14 = 3\text{ cups}

Hence, 3 cups of gulf shrimp is required for new recipe.

So, correct option is C. 3 cups

Exercise 1:
 
exponential decay:
 The function is given by:
 y = A (b) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 Where,
 A = 600
 We look for b:
 (480/600) * (100) = 80%
 b = 0.8
 Substituting:
 y = 600 * (0.8) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 We check for t = 6
 y = 600 * (0.8) ^ ((1/3) * 6)
 y = 384
 Answer:
 
exponential decay:
 
y = 600 * (0.8) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 Exercise 2:
 
linear:
 The function is given by:
 y = ax + b
 Where,
 a = -60 / 2 = -30
 b = 400
 Substituting we have:
 y = -30 * x + 400
 We check for x = 4
 y = -30 * 4 + 400
 y = 280
 Answer:
 
linear:
 
y = -30 * x + 400
 Exercise 3:
 
exponential growth:
 The function is given by:
 y = A (b) ^ ((1/3) * t)
 Where,
 A = 512
 We look for b:
 (768/512) * (100) = 150%
 b = 1.5
 Substituting:
 y = 512 * (1.5) ^ ((1/2) * t)
 We check for t = 4
 y = 512 * (1.5) ^ ((1/2) * 4)
 y = 1152
 Answer:
 
exponential growth:
 
y = 512 * (1.5) ^ ((1/2) * t)

One large jar and five small jars can hold 26 ounces of jam. One large jar minus one small jar can hold 2 ounces of jam. Use the
Lesechka [4]

Using a system of equations, it is found that one large jar holds 6 ounces and one small jar holds 4 ounces.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable l: Weight that a large jar holds.
  • Variable s: Weight that a small jar holds.

One large jar and five small jars can hold 26 ounces of jam, hence:

l + 5s = 26, which is the first equation in matrix form.

Then:

l = 26 - 5s.

One large jar minus one small jar can hold 2 ounces of jam, hence:

l - s = 2, which is the second equation in matrix form:

Then:

l = 2 + s = 26 - 5s

2 + s = 26 - 5s

6s = 24

s = 4.

l = 26 - 5s = 6.
