The answer to Part A is 2 15/32
The answer is <span>She went over by one over six of a cup
</span>
<span>1 cup of that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams: 1c = 128g
</span><span>64 grams of chocolate powder is x cups.
1c = 128g
x = 64g
1c : 128 g = x : 64g
x = </span>1c : 128 g * 64 g
x = 0.5 c
64 grams of chocolate powder is 0.5 cups = 1/2 cups
<span>She added two over three of a cup of chocolate powder: 2/3 cups
She need to add 1/2 cups: 1/2 = 3/6 cups
She added 2/3 cups: 2/3 = 4/6 cups
So she added 4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6 cups more.

Answer: the price of 1 yard of chicken wire is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one yard of landscaping fabric.
Let y represent the cost of one yard of chicken wire.
Charlotte pays $24 for 3 yards of landscaping fabric and 6 yards of chicken wire. This means that
3x + 6y = 24 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Kami pays $30 for 6 yards of landscaping fabric and 3 yards of chicken wire. This means that
6x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
18x + 36y = 144
18x + 9y = 90
Subtracting
27y = 54
y = 54/27 = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
3x + 6×2 = 24
3x = 24 - 12 = 12
x = 12/3 = 4
