Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of lemonade Regan sells is 69/16 gallons and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.
Given :
Mark sold 2 7/8 gallons of lemonade.
Regan sold 2/3 as much lemonade as Mark.
The following steps can be used in order to determine the total amount of lemonade Regan sells:
Step 1 - The arithmetic operations can be used in order to determine the total amount of lemonade Regan sells.
Step 2 - According to the given data, Mark sold 23/8 gallons of lemonade.
Step 3 - Let the total amount of lemonade Regan sells be 'x'.
Step 4 - So, the value of 'x' can be calculated as:
x = 23/8 × 3/2
x = 63/16
The total amount of lemonade Regan sells is 69/16 gallons.
Answer: 500 pieces of wheat
Explanation:
First: set up the proportion
Cookies:wheat = 8:2
Simplify = 4:1
We need to find how much wheat he needs for 2,000 cookies.
We need to assign a variable for wheat
Wheat = W
If Josh needs to make 2,000 cookies he would need W amount of wheat
Original proportion = 4:1
For 2,000 cookies = 2,000:W
To get from 4 to 2,000
2,000/4 = 500
So W/1 = 500
Isolate the variable:
w/1 (1) = 500/1
W = 500
5+3d-1.5=0.5
3d+3.5=0.5
3d=-3
d=-1
The answer is -72. I added an attachment below for the steps.
