.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Correct Question: A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes. The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes. Which proportion represents the situation?
We have , A recipe for beef stew calls for 1 pound of beef and 3 potatoes , i.e.
Number of beef stew calls = 1
Number of potatoes = 3
Now , The recipe is doubled to include 2 pounds of beef and 6 potatoes i.e. for every 2 pounds of beef we have 6 potatoes
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒
Therefore , Pounds of beef and potatoes are in ratio or proportion of .
Only cabinet with two silver coins is cabinet B.
The chance of choosing cabinet B is 1/3.

Answer:
Number of heavy equipment operators hired were 22
Number of general laborers hired were 11
Explanation:
Assume that number of heavy equipment operators hired is x and that number of general laborers is y.
We are given that:
1- Total number of hired people is 33. This means that:
x + y = 33
This can be rewritten as:
x = 33 - y ...........> equation I
2- heavy equipment operators are paid $135, general laborers are paid $89 and that the total payment was $3949. This means that:
135x + 89y = 3949 ............> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
135x + 89y = 3949
135(33-y) + 89y = 3949
4455 - 135y + 89y = 3949
506 = 46y
y = 506 / 46
y = 11
Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 33 - y
x = 33 - 11
x = 22
