Answer 1

the number of pounds of cashews Wayne needs, if he plans to use p pounds of almonds

Explanation:

Ration of Almonds:cashows = 1:2

Almonds/cashows = 1/2

2Almonds = cashows

f() = 2p <--> cashows = 2Almonds

As a result, the function represents the number of pounds of cashews Wayne needs, if he plans to use p pounds of almonds
