We have to know divide the total meters that has been traveled by the tortoise which is for 4.8 meters to the time it was completed which is 3 minutes. The formula for speed is: [ speed = distance/time ]. So the equation will be 4.8 meters/3 minutes = 1.6 meters per minute. The speed of the tortoise is 1.6 meters per minute.

A chicken salad recipe calls for 1 8
NARA [144]

Answer: 1.0625\ pounds or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "A chicken salad recipe calls for \frac{1}{8} pound of chicken per serving . How many pounds of chicken are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving".

You can convert the Mixed number to a Decimal number. Divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 2 and then add the quotient to the Whole number. Then, you get:

8+0.5=8.5

Now divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 8 to write the fraction to a Decimal number. Then:

\frac{1}{8}= 0.125

Let be "x" the amount of pounds are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving.

Then, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}

Solving for "x", you get:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}\\\\x(\frac{1}{0.125})=8.5\\\\x=8.5*0.125\\\\x=1.0625

or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds
