option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>step 1 </u>:
Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff
'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff
<u>step 2</u> :
Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters
(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)
x = 14/34
x = 0.412
1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef
<u>step 3</u> :
To make 6 times the recipe = 6 0.412
= 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
Answer:
Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to transform one of the equations into its slope-intercept form:
y + 2/5x = 8
Subtract 2/5x from both sides:
y = -2/5x + 8
y = -5/2x - 7
Graphing both lines, they do intersect at point (-7.14, 10.86), but they are not parallel, nor are they perpendicular from each other. By definition, perpendicular lines must appear to be perpendicular (that is, they intersect at a 90° angle).
Looking at the attached graph (where the purple line is y = -2/5x + 8), their lines do not form a 90° angle.
Therefore, the correct answer is neither.
