You make punch for a party. The ratio og ginger ale to fruit juice is 8 cups to 3 cups. You decide to add 4 more cups of ginger ale. How many more cupsof fruit juice do you need to keep the correct ratio.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: To get the answer we can use proportion
8 ginger ----------------- 3 fruit
12 ginger ----------------x
Crossmultiply now
8x=12*3                /:8
x=(12*3)/(8)
x=(36)/(8)  \n x=4.5
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.

1. Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept. 
It gave you point (8,12) and slope of -2. 
So you already know the value of m, so so far it's y = -2x + b. 
Plug the coordinates as x and y: 8 for x and 12 for y.
12 = -2(8) + b
12 = -16 + b
28 = b

Adding b in, you get y = -2x + 28

2. Find the slope, then use point-slope form.
Slope is change in y over change in x, or (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). 
m = (9-1)/(2-3) = 8/(-1) = -8

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - y1 = -8(x - x1)
Now plug in either of the coordinates as x1 and y1, let's do (3,1). 
y - 1 = -8(x - 3)
y - 1 = -8x + 24
y = -8x + 25

3. Do it the same way as number 2. Choose two points, for example (1,1) and (2,-2). You find m = -3 and get final answer as y=-3x + 4.

4. B = 150 + 80d 
B is account balance, d is number of monthly deposits.
If you rearrange the terms: B = 80d + 150, you see that that is in slope-intercept form y = mx+b, and if you remember from #1 m is the slope. In this case, the variables are changed, so d is the slope here. And the question told you that d, the slope, is the number of monthly deposits. Its coefficient is 80, so Bianca deposits $80/month.

5. 
14a + 16b = 560
16b = 560 - 14a
b = (560 - 14a)/16
b = 560/16 - 14a/16
b = 35 - (7/8)a
b = -(7/8)a + 35

8 kg of potatoes and 5 kg of carrots cost $28 whereas 2 kg of potatoes and 3 kg of arrot cost $11.20.what is the cost of 1 kg of each item

Answers

1 kg of potatoes costs  x, 1 kg of carrots costs y.

8x+5y=28 | :(-4)
2x+3y=11,2

-2x-1,25y=-7
2x+3y=11,2

3y-1,25y=11,2-7
1,75y=4,2
y=2,4

1 kg of carrots costs $2,4.

1 kg of potatoes costs:
2x+3*2,4=11,2
2x+7,2=11,2
2x=11,2-7,2
2x=4
x=2
kg of potatoes costs $2
