Mrs. jacobs is making several batches of cookies and is using 84 total ounces of chips. the cookies have chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. there are 5 times as many ounces of chocolate chips as peanut butter chips. how many ounces of chocolate chips does mrs. jacobs use?

The ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce

Solution:

Given that Jacob is making several batches of cookies and is using 84 total ounces of chips

Let "c" be the ounces of chocolate chips

Let "p" be the ounces of peanut butter chips

To find: ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob

Given that There are 5 times as many ounces of chocolate chips as peanut butter chips

Thus we can frame a equation as:

ounces of chocolate chips = 5 x ounces of peanut butter chips

c = 5p eqn 1

Jacob used 84 total ounces of chip. Therefore,

ounces of chocolate chips + ounces of peanut butter chips = 84

c + p = 84 eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

5p + p = 84

6p = 84

Substitute p = 14 in eqn 1

c = 5(14) = 70

Thus the ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce

step-by-step explanation: yes

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
