Set up a proportion. 1/4 teaspoon to 3 potatoes is equal to ? to 9 potatoes

x= amount of pepper for 9 potatoes

(1/4)/3= x/9
cross multiply

(3 * x)= (1/4 * 9)

3x= 9/4
multiply both sides by 4

12x= 9
divide both sides by 12

x= 9/12
simplify by 3

x= 3/4 teaspoon


ANSWER: 3/4 teaspoon of pepper is needed for 9 potatoes.

Hooe this helps! :)

Answer:

Since 9 is 3 times the denominator of the first ratio, multiply the numerator of the first ratio by 3 to get the numerator of the second ratio. The amount of pepper is 3/4 teaspoon.

2/3x + 6 - 1/3x -4 = -6
1/3x + 2 = -6
1/3x = -6 - 2

Sanjay consulted three electricians about upgrading the wiring in his home. Each electrician uses a linear formula that incorpor
Reptile [31]
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>Each of the equations has two parts:</u>
1- base fee that is independent of any variable (this would be the number that has no variable next to it)
2- an hourly rate depending on the number of hours x (this would be the number that has an x next to it)

<u>For the first electrician:</u>
y = 25x + 30
base fee = $30
hourly rate = $25

<u>For the second electrician:</u>
y = 30x + 25
base fee = $25
hourly rate = $30

<u>For the third electrician:</u>
y = 25x + 20
base fee = $20
hourly rate = $25

<u>Now, let's check the choices:</u>
<span><u>a.Each electrician charges a different hourly rate:</u>
</span>This is incorrect as electricians 1 and 3 charge the same hourly rate ($25)

<span><u>b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:</u>
This is correct as all three base fees are different ($30, $20 and $25)

</span><span><u>c.All three electricians charge the same hourly rate:</u>
This is incorrect as electrician 2 has a different hourly rate

</span><span><u>d. All three electricians charge the same base fee:</u>
This is incorrect as the base fees for the three electricians are different ($30, $25 and $20)

Hope this helps :)</span>
