Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4. Nicole can make 7 quarts of lemonade with 10 cups of sugar.

If 3/4 cup of sugar is used to make 1 quart of lemonade and 10 cups of sugar are available, then you multiply 3 times 10 (when multiplying fractions, you only multiply with the numerator, not the denominator) which will give you 30.

Now, you can write it as 30/4. Using simple division, you find that 30/4 is 7.5 (or 7 and 1/2), and because we're trying to find how many full quarts we can make using 10 cups of sugar, your answer will be 7.

5. Each person will get 0.83 repeating (or 5/6) boxes of raisins.

In this problem, we have 6 people and we have to share 5 boxes of raisins among all of them. We know that each person can't get 1 because there would have to be 6 boxes (1 for each person), so we have a fraction (or decimal, depending on where you're at).

Dividing 5/6, you'll simply get 5/6 because you can't simply this any further, but if you were to write this as a fraction, you'd get 0.83 repeating (over the 3).

6. Each class will receive 30 boxes of cracker jacks.

We know that there are 153 boxes of cracker jacks available, and this needs to then be split among 5 different classes. So, to find the answer, we have to divide 153 by 5. In doing that, we get 30.6, but because we're trying to find the whole number that the classes will receive, as you can't get a fraction of a box (at least, I assume), then each class will get 30 with 3 boxes remaining.
