Rona mixes 2 pounds of meat with some chopped vegetables to make a mixture. She divides the mixture into 4 equal portions. Each portion weighs 3 pounds. Which equation and solution shows the total amount of chopped vegetables she used in the mixture? One-fourth (2 + v) = 3; v = 10 pounds of chopped vegetables
One-fourth (2 + v) = 3; v = 4 pounds of chopped vegetables
4 (2 + v) = 3; v = 1 pound of chopped vegetables
4 (2 + v) = 3; v = 5 pounds of chopped vegetables

First choice: (1/4)(2 + v) = 3; v = 10 pounds of chopped vegetables

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 pounds of meat with some chopped vegetables"

2 + v

"She divides the mixture into 4 equal portions."

(1/4)(2 + v)

"Each portion weighs 3 pounds."

(1/4)(2 + v) = 3

2 + v = 12

v = 10

(1/4)(2 + v) = 3; v = 10 pounds of chopped vegetables

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
