Answer:
Cups of carrot needed for 9 servings = 4.5 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe for sesame chicken calls for cup of chopped carrots
recipe 2 is for 4 servings
That is
2 cups of carrot = 4 servings
2 : 4
= 1 : 2
1 cup of carrot = 2 servings
how many cups of
carrots are needed for 9 servings?
Let x= number of carrot needed for 9 servings
1 : 2 = x : 9
1 /2 = x/ 9
Cross product
1*9 = 2*x
9=2x
Divide both sides by 2
9/2 = x
x= 4.5 Or 4 1/2
Y=5/4x-4
5/4 is the slope but to pass through the point it needs to cross the y axis at -4
You can figure the line for each pair of points, or you can try the points in the equation you have and see which are on the line.
First answer: x=1, y=-5×1 +4 = -1 . . . not 9. (1, 9) is not a point on the line
Second answer: x=2, y=-5×2 +4 = -6 . . . not -14. (2, 14) is not a point on the line
Third answer: (see the calculation for the first answer) . . . -1 ≠ 1. (1, 1) is not a point on the line
Fourth answer: (see the calculation for the second answer) We know that (2, -6) is on the given line. Checking (4, -16), we find it is as well.
The appropriate choice is the 4th answer:
... a line passing through the points (2, -6) and (4, -16)
Answer:
When doing square roots the opposite is squaring so, to find one that is more than 12 and less that 13 would be finding one that is in between √144 and √169
That leaves your answer as √150, because it is more than √144 (which is 12) and less than √169 (which is 13)
B √150
Hope this helps ;)
If you add them all together, you'd get 157. Then you divide by 7 and you'd get 31.4
