15 A manufacturer needs 51 pounds of plums to make 27 quarts of prune juice. How many pounds of plums
would the manufacturer need to make 18 quarts of prune
juice?

34 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

51 pounds of plum = 27 quarts

x pounds of plum   = 18 quarts

(cross multiply)

27x = 918

divide both sides by 27

x=34 pounds

c is the final : )

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
