1 1/9

To figure out how much walnuts to a pound of dried fruit you’d need to do proportions. So we cross multiply:

2/3 = X
—————- —————-
3/5 = 1

You multiply diagnols 2/3 x 1 = 2/3
3/5 times x is 3/5x.

2/3 = 3/5x. Isolate the variable. Divide 3/5 on both sides cancel out 3/5. 2/3 divide by 3/5 is 2/3 x 5/3 which is 10/9 which equals 1 1/9.

So for 1 lb of dried fruit you need 1 1/9 lb of walnuts to maintain the same mixture

Put the equation in standard form y=-4/5x+2
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

4x +5y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of an equation is Ax +By = C

y=-4/5x+2

Add 4/5 x to each side

4/5 x +y=-4/5x+ 4/5x+2

4/5 x + y = 2

Now we don't have fractions in A ,B  or C

So Multiply by 5

5(4/5 x + y) = 2*5

Distribute

4x +5y = 10
