1 answer:

6 0

If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:

5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]

To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:

5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9

Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.

A chili recipe calls for 2 pounds of ground pork and 3.5 pounds of ground beef. The cost of ground beef per pound is $0.20 less

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: $\$1.75\ \text{per pound}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The recipe calls for 2 Pounds of ground pork and 3.5 pounds of ground beef

Suppose x is the cost of ground pork

So, the cost of ground beef is $2x-0.2$

The total cost of meat is $\$15.05$

The total cost can also be written as

$\Rightarrow 2\times x+3.5\times (2x-0.2)=15.05\\\Rightarrow 2x+7x-0.7=15.05\\\Rightarrow 9x=15.75\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{15.75}{9}=\$1.75\ \text{per pound}$

So, the cost of ground pork is $\$1.75\ \text{per pound}$

ser-zykov [4K]

This is all middle school stuff.

First do the powers. 3 power plus -5 power equals to -2 power.

2 x 5 is 10. So, it's 10 to the power of -2.
