Answer 1

Answer:

1 $\frac{3}{5}$  can of tomatoes are used in each quart

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of tomatoes used in each quarts, we will follow the steps below;

Using proportion to solve, let x be the number of cans needed in each quart

4 cans =  2 $\frac{1}{2}$ quarts

  x       =  1     quart

cross-multiply

2 $\frac{1}{2}$ x = 4

$\frac{5x}{2}$   = 4

cross-multiply

5x = 8

Divide both-side of the edquation by 5

$\frac{5X}{5}$  =  $\frac{8}{5}$

(On the left-hand side of the equation 5 at the numerator will cancel-out  5 at the denominator while at the right-hand side of the equation 8 will be divided by 5)

x = $\frac{8}{5}$

x = 1 $\frac{3}{5}$  can

Therefore 1 $\frac{3}{5}$  can of tomatoes are used in each quart
