To get the answer we can use proportion
8 ginger ----------------- 3 fruit
12 ginger ----------------x
Crossmultiply now
8x=12*3 /:8
x=

x=<u />

To not change ratio we have to have 4.5 cups of fruilt juice. We initialy had 3, so we have to add 1.5 cup of fruit juice.
#3)answer is choice D.77+W<_95;W<_18
#4)answer is choice A. t<7
Well, following the order of PEMDAS, I got choice B. 52
For instance, when you plug in 5 for x, you get F(5)=2(5)^2+2.
Moreover, following PEMDAS, you're supposed to solve what's inside the parenthesis, but since there is no operation going on inside the parenthesis, then you simple move on to the exponent.
In this case, you square the number 5, which gives you F(5)=2(25)+2
After that, you Multiply (letter M in PEMDAS). This results in F(5)=50+2.
Finally, you add them, which results in F=52.
By the way, I noticed a mistake in your work. When multiplying 2 by 5, the answer is 10, not 20.
Anyway, hope this helped! :-)
