the amount of rice cake mix to be used varies directly with the number of people who partake of this food. suppose that it takes 7 cups of mix to serve 10 people
a.) write the function expressing the number of cups of cake mix in relation to the number of people
----
m = kn
Solve for "k" using "it takes 7 cups of mix to serve 10 people"
7 = k*10
k = 0.7
---
Equation:
mix = 0.7*people
