The table below shows the amount of flour and eggs you need for making different-sized batches of cookies using the same recipe.
Cups of flour Number of eggs
Batch A 333 222
Batch B 999 666
Batch C 121212 888
Write an equation to describe the relationship between fff, the cups of flour, and eee, the number of eggs.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Let e=eggs

Let f=flour

2/3*f=e

The table is an illustration of a linear function.

The relationship between the number of flour and the number of eggs is [tex]\mathbf{f = \frac 32e }[/tex]

The table is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{\left[\begin{array}{ccc} &Flours&Eggs\\Batch\ A&3&2\\Batch\ B&9&6\\Batch\ C& 12& 8 \end{array}\right] }[/tex]

The table represents a linear function

First, calculate the slope (m)

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{e_2 - e_1}{f_2 - f_1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{9-3}{6-2}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{6}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{3}{2}}[/tex]

The equation is then calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{f = m(e - e_1) + f_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f = \frac 32(e - 2) + 3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f = \frac 32e - 3 + 3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f = \frac 32e }[/tex]

Hence, the relationship between the number of flour and the number of eggs is [tex]\mathbf{f = \frac 32e }[/tex]
