Question

a recipe for Smoothie coupons for 5 cups of strawberries for every 2 cups of bananas the line represents the relationship between the amount of strawberries and bananas to make a smoothie with recording to this recipe the point (1,2.5)is on the linelabel to act as approximately write an equation that represents a personal relationship that on the graph between strawberries and bananas identity and meaning of each variable explain meaning of point (1,2.5)in terms of the situation

Answer 1

5 cups of strawberries

2 cups of bananas

5/2 = 2.5

2.5 cups of strawberries for every 1 cup of bananas

Where:

Strawberries = y-axis

Bananas = x-axis

Equation:

y= kx

Where k is the constant of proportionality:

Replace x,y by the coordinate point given (1,2.5) and solve for k

2.5 = k(1)

k= 2.5

Replacing:

y= 2.5 x
