the quality of the photo is a bit off here on my end. but look at the grid point. it shows that you can make 2strawberry to 15 chocolate. and as you go up in strawberry you go down in chocolate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is at the intersect point 'B'

mm.. got it... so what about this one? Use this image to answer the following question. The ice cream shop needs 5 pounds of strawberries for every gallon of strawberry ice cream. The shop chose to produce 4 gallons of chocolate ice cream. How many pounds of strawberries should the shop purchase?

hold on im at work atm too. give me a min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the shop already procured 4 gallons of chocolate so looking at that that means that the shop can create a max of 12 gallons of strawberry this is located at the point 'C' so you can say that if it takes 5 pounds of strawberries to make one gallon, then take 12 gallons times 5 to show you how many pounds of strawberries you need to purchase
