Mindy is the head cheerleader on her suad. She is making banners to place throughout the school for the first football game of the season. She used ⅔ cup of glitter to make 1 cup of glittery paint. Using this same proportion, how many cups of glitter will Mindy use to make 9 cups of glittery paint?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the proportion is maintained, we can set up the following proportion:

, where is the amount of glitter, in cups, Mindy will use to make 9 cups of glittery paint.

Cross-multiply to get:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
