George has $15. He would like to know if he has enough money to see a movie ($9.00) and buy a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35),
and two veggie cups ($1.74 each). George incorrectly used this numerical expression to decide if he had enough money. 15 - 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) Use the order of operations to simplify this expression.
If 1 serving = 1/4 pound, then 4 servings = 1 pound. 6 pounds *4=24 servings. That leaves 1/3 of a pound. 1/4 pound is less than 1/3 pound, so you get one more serving.
That makes 25 servings, and 1/12 of a pound left over.
How do you know it is 1/12? Well, LCD (lowest common denominator) shows that 1/3-1/4= 4/12-3/12=1/12.
