Samuel used 1/5 of an ounce of butter to make 1/15 of a pound if jelly, how many ounces of butter are needed to make a pound of jelly?

3 ounces of nuts

(1/4) / (1/12) = x / 1 cross multiply

1/4 = 1/12 x                divide both sides by 1/12

x =1/4 / 1/12

x =1/4 x 12/1

x =12/4

x = 3 ounces of nuts.  

option: d is correct

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
