Rebecca thinks that 7 cups of flour will make 3.5 batches of cookies. Prove whether Rebecca's ratio would align with the situati
on above. A) Rebecca is INCORRECT because 3.5 cups of flour will make 7 batches of cookies.
B) Rebecca is INCORRECT because 7 cups of flour will make 14 batches of cookies.
C) Rebecca is CORRECT because the information follows the constant of proportionality displayed in the graph.
D) Rebecca is CORRECT because 7 divided by 3.5 is 0.5.
Start by finding the LCM of the coefficients of each polynomial:
Next, to find the least common multiple of each of the following terms, we need to take the absolute minimum we can of each term (, , and ). The largest term of is in the first polynomial, so we'll take exactly that for our term in the LCM, absolutely nothing more. Similarly, the largest term of in any of the three polynomials is (also in the first polynomial) and the largest term in any of the three polynomials is in the second polynomial. Thus, the LCM of all our polynomials is:
