Divide 4 1/2 = 4.5 by 4 you would get 4.125. 4.125 cups of flour are needed to make one fruitcake.
Answer:
y = 50x+25
f(x) = 50x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope intercept form of the equation, y = mx+b
where x is the amount per day and b is the flat fee
2 days
125 = 2x+b
5 days
275 = 5x+b
Subtract
275 = 4x+b
125 = 2x+b
---------------------
150 = 3x
Divide by 3
150/3 = 3x/3
50 =x
The cost per day is 50 dollars
y = 50x +b
Using the data for 2 days
125 = 50*2 +b
125 = 100 +b
125-100 = b
b = 25
The equation is y = 50x+25
f(x) = 50x+25
To graph, The x axis is number of days and the y axis is total cost
The number of days starts with 0, which is the y intercept
Let x = 0, y =25
Using the slope, we go 50 up and 1 to the right ( 50 dollars per day)
The next point plotted ins ( 1,50)
Draw a straight line
The cream paint is 3/2 of the red, since there are three parts cream for every two parts red. Similarly, the blue paint is 1/2 of the red. Thus, there are 3/2*4=6 liters cream paint and 1/2*4=2 liters blue paint.
We need to do a system of equations here.
x + y = 275 (if you travel <em>x</em> km by bike and <em>y </em>km by bus, then you travel 275 km as given in the problem)
y = x + 55 (the problem stated that they were bussed (y) the amount they biked plus 55 more km (x + 55))
The second equation is already solved for y. So, we can plug it in to the first equation.
x + (x + 55) = 275
2x + 55 = 275 [combine x terms]
2x = 220 [subtract 55 from both sides]
x = 110 [divide by 2 to isolate x and solve for it]
Now we know that x is 110, the distance they traveled by bike.
And that's what we needed to answer the problem!
