1 5/8 = 13/8
(13/8)/14 = .116 or 13/112
.116 (26) = 3.016 or 169/56

Answer:

  3 1/56 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're to assume that the amount of food is supposed to be proportional to weight. If x is the amount of food for the 26-pound dog, then ...

  cups/weight = (1 5/8)/14 = x/26

Multiplying by 26 we have ...

  x = (26)(13/8)/14 = 338/112 . . . cups

  x = 3 1/56 cups ≈ 3.02 cups

About 3.02 cups of the same type of food should be fed to a 26-pound dog.

1. The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75
ryzh [129]
If this were to be graphed, the independent variable would be the price of the ticket for the rides. The dependent variable would be the total cost.

The fair admission is not a variable because it is a constant price for every single person who goes into the fair.

The problem asks to use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. In order to fully write out the equation, we have to figure out what the fair admission costs.

43.75 = 1.25(25) + b

*b represents the fair admission

Multiply 1.25 by 25

43.75 = 31.25 + b

Subtract 31.25 to find what b costs.

12.50 = b

The fair admission costs $12.50.

Solution: y = 1.25x + 12.50
