Answer:
Megan needs 1 and 1/3 cup of almonds to make 9 cups pf trail mix.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not good with ratios and fractions so I drew an illustration.
I found out that 1/6 of almond cup is equivalent to 1 cup of trail mix.
So I add 2/3+2/3+1/6
I changed the denominator of 2/3 to 6 and divided 6 by 3 then multiply the answer by 2, then the product will be the numerator.
(6÷3) = 2 (2x2) =4
So, 4/6+4/6+1/6= 9/6
Simply the sum and it will be 1 and 1/3.

Solution:
We can graph using the intercepts:
(1) y-intercept, when x=0
y=4x-3→y=4(0)-3→y=0-3→y=-3
Point=(x,y)=(0,-3)
(2) x-intercept, when y=0
y=4x-3→0=4x-3
Solving for x: Adding 3 both sides of the equation:
0+3=4x-3+3
3=4x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
3/4=4x/4
3/4=x
x=3/4=0.75
Point=(x,y)=(3/4,0)=(0.75,0)
With these pair of points (0, -3) and (0.75,0) we can draw the right line
Answer:
x = /13 ≈ 0.48
Step-by-step explanation:
13x² = 3
x² = 3/13
rationalize the denominator
x = /13
