Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at the total cost of x pounds of something when the cost is per pound, you multiply the two numbers. Because y is the total cost, you want that as the answer that you are looking for, so it will be by itself when looking at the two sides of the equation. This means that answer c is the only one correct. A/B cannot be unless you were looking for the number of pounds, and you were dividing y (total cost) by 2.19 (cost per pound). D does not work because you are just adding how many pounds you have to the cost per pound.

The weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

A greedy hamster hoarded 2 piles of sunflower seeds. Yesterday the ratio of the seeds in these piles was 3:4

Let 3x and 4x are the seeds from the smaller and bigger pile.

= 4x + 2 (greedy hamster placed another 2 pounds of seeds in the bigger pile)

= 3x - 1/4 (ate 1/4 pound from the smaller pile)

4x + 2 = 5x

Because the quantities of seeds in those piles is in the ratio of 5:16

After solving:

x = 2

Smaller pile weight = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bigger pile wieght = 4x = 4(2) = 8

Thus, the weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4
