a chef uses 4 3/4 cups of broth for 10 servings of soup. How much broth is used in one serving of soup?
1 answer:
Set up a proportion. 4 3/4 cup broth is to 10 servings as x cups broth is to 1 serving soup.
x= amount of broth in one serving
(4 3/4)/10= x/1
cross multiply
(4 3/4)(1)= 10x
convert 4 3/4 to improper fraction
(19/4)(1)= 10x
19/4= 10x
divide both sides by 10
19/4 ÷ 10= x
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal of 10
19/4 * 1/10= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(19*1)/(4*10)= x
19/40 cup= x
ANSWER: 19/40 cup in one serving

Answer:
40+8X=50+23X
8X-23X=50-140
-15X=-90
X=-90/-15
X=7 TRIPS IS THE ANSWER.
PROOF:
140+8*6=50+23*6
140+48=50+138
188=188
4.8y - 6.9 = 3.18
4.8y= 3.18 + 6.9 (I added 6.9 to both sides)
4.8 y = 10.08 (I added 3.18 by 6.9)
y = 2.1 (I divided 4.8)
