F ( x ) = k * x²
f ( 4 ) = 96
96 = k * 4²
96 = 16 k
k = 96 : 16
k = 6
f ( 2 ) = 6 * 2² = 6 * 4 = 24
Answer: D ) 24
Answer:3 cups of seeds and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
-OR-
6 cups of seeds and 4 tablespoons of maple syrup
Step-by-step explanation:
As this is a ratio of 9:6: "for every 9 cups of seeds, there is 6 tablespoons of maple syrup"
The original ratio is 3:2 "for every 3 cups of seeds, there is 2 tablespoons of maple syrup"
Using this ratio, we can infer that 3:2 or 6:4 would be a simpler answer for this problem. If there is doubt, it would be better to use 3:2 as it is the smallest ratio.
