Answer:
part A) [tex]f=2.75p[/tex]
par B) [tex]38.5\ cups\ of\ flour[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
Let
p ----> the number of pounds of cake
f ----> the number of cups of flour
we know that
A relationship between two variables, p, and f, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]k=\frac{f}{p}[/tex] or [tex]f=kp[/tex]
Find the value of k
For p=3, f=8.25 ----> [tex]k=\frac{8.25}{3}=2.75[/tex]
therefore
The linear equation is
[tex]f=2.75p[/tex]
Part B) we have
For p=14
substitute in the equation and solve for f
[tex]f=2.75(14)=38.5\ cups[/tex]
