You increase the amounts of ingredients in a recipe to make a proportional recipe. the original recipe uses two avocados and 0.25 cup of minced onions. the new recipe has 1.5 cups of minced onions. write a proportion that gives the number x of avocados in the new recipe. then determine how many avocados are in the new recipe.

12 avocados

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem we are going to use proportions.

The original recipe uses two avocados and 0.25 cup of minced onions, therefore the ratio is 2 : 0.25.

The new recipe has 1.5 cups of minced onions and we need to find the number of avocados x. x : 1.5.

We are going to solve for x

Therefore, there are 12 avocados in the new recipe.

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b

there is no points to select.
