Alana has 2 1/4 bags of chocolate chips that she wants to use in 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies. How much of the chocolate chips will she use in each batch of cookies?

1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

If Alana has 2 1/4 bags of chocolate chips that she wants to use in 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, then we can say;

2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips

To determine how much of the chocolate chips will she use in each batch of cookies, we can say;

1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips

Equating both expressions

2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips

1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips

Cross multiply

2 1/4 x = 3

9/4 x = 3

9x/4 = 3

9x = 12

x = 12/9

x = 4/3

x = 1 1/3

Hence Alana will need 1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
