A bar of soap weighs as much as 3/4 of an identical bar plus 3/4 of a pound. How much does the bar of soap weigh?

1 answer:

5 0

3/4=0.75
Since 3/4 (of the bar) + 1/4 (of the bar) equals a whole bar (1), and 3/4 (of the bar) + 0.75 equals the whole weight of the bar, 0.75 is 1/4 of the bar. 1/4 times 4 equals 1, and 0.75 times 4 equals 3, so the bar of soap weighs 3 pounds.
