Question

1) Jaiden mixed 6 cups chocolate chips with 8 cups of granola to make trail mix. To represent the relationship between chocolate chips, c, and granola, g, needed to keep the makeup of the trail mix the same, Jaiden wrote the equation c= ly What number should be placed in the box?

Answer 1

We know that c represents the number of chocolate chips and g represents the granola. We also know that the equation that represents this relation is:

`c=kg`

Plugging the values we know into the equation we have:

`6=8k`

solving for k we have:

`k=(6)/(8)=(3)/(4)`

Therefore the number in the box is 3/4 (.75 in decimal form).
