Maria and Franco are mixing sports drinks for a track meet. Maria uses 23 cup of powdered mix for every 2 gallons of water. Franco uses 114 cups of powdered mix for every 5 gallons of water.

Maria

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the ratio of powdered mix to water for each drink.

For Maria:

(2/3 cup) / (2 gallon)

= 1/3 cup per gallon

For Franco:

(1 1/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

= (5/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

= 1/4 cup per gallon

Since 1/3 is bigger than 1/4, Maria's sports drink is stronger.

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
