Answer:
5
This is essentially the third identical question that you posted with the same
type of solution ... if you look at the previous question you asked and the explanation.. you will see that the red line crosses a corner of a box at (4,20)
4 cups = 20 pralines thus the number you are looking for is 20/4 = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
lets try this "story" to explain...
assume that you can walk 3 miles in 1 hour
this means that at 0 hr you go 0 miles , 1 hr you go 3 miles etc
0,0
1,3
2,6
3,9
etc.
if you graph that you will have the red line in you graph, and the x values would be 0,1,2,3 with the y values being 0,3,6,9....
if you DIVIDE any of those points
3/1 ,6/2, 9,3 the result is always a "3" that is the speed that you are walking at
it is a CONSTANT (in this problem) ... note: if the speed is NOT constant then this basically becomes a calculus problem, ant an algebra one.
