You need to make a series of equations from what you are given first. I am going to use the first letter of each of the names to represent the length of that persons wire.
1/2s=2/5d
3c=s
s+d+c=6 ft
Okay. Now you can combine the first two equations knowing what s equals:
1/2(3c)=2/5d
d=15c/4
Now you have d=15c/4 and s=3c, so you can replace d and s in the third equation.
3c+15c/4+c=6
Then solve for c and plug it into the equation 3c=s to find the length of sarah's wire.
The answer is 6 pints equal to more than 60 fluid ounces
1 pint = 16 ounces.
6 pints = x
Use the proportion:
1 pint : 16 ounces = 6 pints : x
x = 16 ounces * 6 pints : 1 pint
x = 96 ounces
6 pints = 96 ounces > 60 ounces
Therefore, 6 pints equal to more than 60 fluid ounces
If the six appetizer recipes are distributed evenly between the three weeks, that would mean that Becky learned two recipes per week.
The answer is 10 weeks, every week Becky learns two recipes.
2 x 10=20
-converting to a common denominator
The terms -c of the left side was converted to -4ac/4a to have the same denominator of b^2/4a.
Answer:
1 and a half inches long
Because that 3 divided by 2 is 1.5.
