Respuesta :

We know that c represents the number of chocolate chips and g represents the granola. We also know that the equation that represents this relation is:

[tex]c=kg[/tex]

Plugging the values we know into the equation we have:

[tex]6=8k[/tex]

solving for k we have:

[tex]k=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Therefore the number in the box is 3/4 (.75 in decimal form).
