Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of green beans (g) to pumpkin (p) is ...

... g : p = 1 : 5

Then the ratio of green beans to the total is ...

... g : (g+p) = 1 : (1+5) = 1 : 6

Since you have

... g/total = (1/6)

... g = total · 1/6

you can substitute 114 for the total to find ...

... g = 114 · 1/6 = 19

A restaurant has 20 and 1/2 pounds of bananas to make smoothies a check uses 1/8 lb of bananas per smoothie. how many smoothies
torisob [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you meant :

the restaurant has 20 1/2 pounds of bananas.

one smoothie uses 1/8 pound of bananas.

how many smoothies can be made with the amount of available bananas ?

the answer is as many as the times 1/8 fit into 20 1/2.

so, we actually calculate

(20 1/2) / (1/8)

first we will convert the mixed number into a true fraction :

20 1/2 = 40/2 + 1/2 = 41/2

so we have

41/2 / 1/8

and then, when dividing fractions we have 2 choices (they do both the same, of course, but start looking differently) :

a/b / c/d = a×d / b×c

a/b / c/d = a/b × d/c = a×d / b×c

so,

41/2 / 1/8 = 41×8 / 2×1 = 41×4 = 164

they can make 164 smoothies.
