Answer:

  (a)  306 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sugar to the total is ...

  sugar : (sugar + butter) = (2 1/4) : (2 1/4 + 3/8)

  = (18/8) : (18/8 +3/8) = 18 : 21 = 6 : 7

Then the amount of sugar in the baker's initial is ...

  (6/7) × 357 = 306 . . . . pounds

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you realize that 2 1/4 is much more than 3/8, then you realize most of the mix is sugar. Of the answer choices, the only one that is most of 357 pounds is the first one: 306 pounds. That is the correct choice. In other words, your sense of the quantities involved is sufficient to answer the question, without any math.

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line <br> Y=-5/4x+8
insens350 [35]

Explanation: This is a linear equation because it's written in slope-intercept form or <em>y = mx + b</em> where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x-term represents the slope of the line and the<em> b</em> represents the constant term.

So the slope will be the coefficient of the <em>x-term</em> which means the number that is in front of the <em>x</em> which in this case is -5/4.

The y-intercept is the constant term which is +8

if the value of x varies directly as the value of y , and x = 16 when y = 3/4 , what is the value of x when y = 3/8 ?
Olin [163]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of x varies directly as the value of y we can say they are directly proportional. This implies that when y increases x will increase too, and when y decreases x will also decrease.

If x=16 when y=3/4 we can write their relation as:

x/y = 16/(3/4) = 16*(4/3) = 64/3

So, for every value of y, the ratio x/y must maintain equal to 64/3 because both values are proportional.

Now we can see what happens to x when y varies. If y=3/8:

x/(3/8) = 64/3

Multiply both sides by 3/8 to eliminate the 3/8 in the denominator.

x/(3/8) * (3/8) = (64/3) * (3/8)

See that we have a 3 multiplying and another dividing, we can eliminate them.

x = 64/8

x = 8

So, if y decreases to 3/8 x will decrease to 8. Notice that y is decreasing in a half as 3/8 is the half of 3/4, and x is also decreasing in a half from 16 to 8, what makes sense.
