So here’s a example and formula
Answer:
Total pints of cream will they need for the pasta = 7 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - Pasta Place needs to make pasta with garlic cream sauce for 80 guests at a party. One batch of pasta calls for 3 cups of cream and feeds 10 people. The restaurant already has 5 pints of cream in the fridge.
To find - How many more pints of cream will they need for the pasta?
Solution -
10 people = 3 cups of cream
⇒80 people = 8×3 = 24 cups of cream
Now,
We know that,
1 cup = 0.5 pints
⇒24 cup = 24×0.5 = 12 pints.
Now,
Given that, The restaurant already has 5 pints of cream in the fridge.
So,
Total pints more needed = 12 - 5 = 7 pints.
∴ we get
Total pints of cream will they need for the pasta = 7 pints

Answer: 1/2 (choice A)</h3>
===========================================
Explanation:
The two equations given to us are
Divide the second equation over the first equation and that would lead to b = 6
Notice how the 'a' terms divide to 1 and go away, i.e. cancel out.
The b terms divide to (b^2)/b = b
The right hand side values divide to 18/3 = 6
So that's how we end up with b = 6
-------------------------
Now if b = 6, then we can say,
ab = 3
a*6 = 3
a = 3/6
a = 1/2
Or we could say
ab^2 = 18
a*6^2 = 18
a*36 = 18
a = 18/36
a = 1/2
True. True. True.Trrrrueee
