Question

Angie makes a spicy salsa by adding red pepper flakes to a chunky tomato mix in proportional amounts. For example she mixes 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to 2 cups of tomato mix. Represent the relationship between red pepper flakes,in teaspoons,to tomato mix,in cups in two different ways (table,graph,or equation) explain the variables

Answer 1

Please read the answer below.

Explanation:

1. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups in a table

Red pepper (teaspoons) 1/2 1 1 1/2 2 2 1/2 3 3 1/2 4 4 1/2 5

Tomato mix (cups) 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

2. Let's represent the relationship between red pepper flakes, in teaspoons, to tomato mix, in cups writing a equation:

t = amount of tomato mix cups

r = amount of red pepper flakes teaspoons

As we can see in the table,

t = 4r
