If the triangles are similar, then the sides are proportionate and the bases are as well. Set up the proportion like this, with side lengths on top and base lengths on bottom:
. Cross multiply to get 4x = 60. That means that x = 20.
A. 4 cups pineapple juice+8 cups orange juice+12 cups seltzer=24 cups total
108/24=4.5, so you need 4.5*(recipe)=
18 cups pineapple juice, 36 cups orange juice, and 54 cups seltzer
B. each recipe makes 18 servings, so 4.5*(recipe) =4.5*18= 81 servings
C. 8 cups orange juice/12 cups seltzer=2 cups orange juice/3 cups seltzer=2/3 cups orange juice/1 cup seltzer
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that the slope is positive, which means that the x-term must be positive.
If you expand and simply both equations into the form y = mx + b, you will find that m is positive for A and negative for B, hence A is the correct answer.
The answer would be C because they say if 3 new students arrived each year.
