Mr. V's trail mix uses 1/2cup of peanuts, 2 1/4 cups raisins, and he uses 2 times more sunflower seeds than raisins. How many total cups of trail mix can mix can Mr. V make

The total number of cups is 9 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the total cups of trail mix that Mr V can make.

From the question, we are told that he used 1/2 cups of peanuts, 2 1/4 cups of raisins and 2 times more sunflower seeds than raisins.

So basically, we need to find the number of cups of sunflower seeds used.

The information we have here is that he used 2 times more of raisins;

Thus, the number of cups of sunflower would be 2 * 2 1/4 = 2 * 9/4 = 9/2. But practically is 9/2 , two times more than 2 1/4? NO!

What we should do here is to add 9/2 to 2 1/4. In that case, the difference between the two will be 2 times the cups of raisins;

So 9/2 + 9/4 = (18 + 9)/4 = 27/4

So the total number of cups of trail mix that can be made will be;

1/2 + 27/4 + 9/4 = (2 + 27 + 9)/4 = 38/4 = 19/2 = 9 1/2 cups

3.4 pizzas

step-by-step explanation:

given is a scatter plot showing number of pizzas sold during weeks for different issues of coupon

y represents number of pizzas sold and x number of coupons issued

y is marked verticaly and x horizontally

the trend line is given as

y =3.4x+43

this says that even when no coupon is issued pizzas sold will be 43

and rate of change of pizza sold for 1 unit of coupon = slope = 3.4

i.e. when x increases by 1 unit y increases by 3.4 units

hence for each additional coupon issued 3.4 pizzas more will be sold
