B. 28
C. 24
D. 20

PLEASE HELP ME IM DAILING MATH

Option C: 24 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Jason used 0.5 cup of kernels to make 16 cups of popcorn

Ratio of cup of kernel to cups of popcorn = 0.5 : 16

Let,

x be the cups of popcorn made from 0.75 cups of kernel

Ratio of cups of kernel to cups of popcorn = 0.75 : x

This is a direct proportion as the cups of kernel is increasing.

0.5 : 16 :: 0.75 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

16*0.75 = 0.5x

12=0.5x

0.5x=12

Dividing both sides by 0.5

Jason can make 24 cups of popcorn from 0.75 cups of kernel.

Hence,

Option C: 24 is the correct answer.

c. 16 units

step-by-step explanation:

mark brainliest and have a great day!

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
