The correct question is <span>Mama Mia restaurant used start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction of their mozzarella cheese making pizza and the remaining 64 ounces making pasta. How many pounds of mozzarella cheese did Mama Mia start with?
Let x---------------> total </span>ounces of mozzarella <span> we know that
making pizza-----------> (1/2)*x------> x/2 therefore making pasta-------> [x-x/2]--------> (2x-x)/2-----> x/2 making pizza=making pasta=x/2 (x/2)=64---------------> x=64*2-----------> x=128 ounces
remember that 1 ounces----------------> 0.0625 pounds then 128 ounces*0.0625=8 pounds
2500 divided by 100 is 25. If you multiply 25 times 3 you'll get 75. Repeat those steps (answers will be different each time) five times. You will get the answer.
