Answer:
120 - 14 = 106
Step-by-step explanation:
7 x 2 = 14
10 x 12 = 120 therefore you,
120 - 14 = 106
First, we need to find the total fraction of her raisins she used:
1/4 + 3/8 = 2/8 + 3/8
She used 5/8 of her supply.
Knowing this:
5/8x = 5
We multiply by 8 (the LCD)
5x = 40
x = 8
Her supply was 8 pounds, and after making the food, she now has 3 pounds
18 - 7x = -20.5
Subtract 18 from each side:
-7x = -38.5
Divide both sides by -7:
x = -38.5 / -7
x = -5.5 = 5 1/2
The answer is D.
