Arecipe for fruit punch calls for 2 cups of pineapple juice for every 3 cups of orange juice. if you are going to use 16.5 cups of orange juice how much pineapple juice would you need?

11 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A recipe for fruit punch calls for 2 cups of pineapple juice for every 3 cups of orange juice.

Let x be the number of cups of pineapple juice would be needed for 16.5 cups of orange juice.

Since the quantity of pineapple juice is proportional to the quantity of orange juice to make fruit punch , so we have the following equation:-

Hence, the 11 cups of pineapple would be needed.

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.
