Hey user!

your answer is here..

ATQ,

Erika bought 20 pieces of candy. three-fourths of them were jelly beans and the rest was gum.

no. of pieces of jelly beans = 3/4 × 20

= 3 × 5

= 15

hence, 15 pieces of jelly beans Erika purchased.

therefore gum she bought = 20 - 15 = 5

she bought 5 pieces gums.

cheers!!

Mashutka [201]

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

3/4 cup for 8 slices of pie

x cup for 48 slices of pie

_______________________

x = ((3/4)*48)/8

x = (3*48)/(4*8)

x = 144/32

x = 4,5

You need  4 1/2 cups of white sugar for 48 slices of pie.

Hope this helps!
