Answer:
9/16
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>║Given║:</em></u>
<em>Veronica needs to buy 1 3/4 pounds of cheese.</em>
<em> When the clerk places some cheese in a container and weighs it, the scale shows 1 1/4 pounds. </em>
<em>The container weighs 1/16 pound. </em>
<em />
<u><em>║To Solve║:</em></u>
<em>How many more pounds of cheese should be added to the scale to get the amount that veronica needs? Explain how you solved the problem</em>
<em />
<u><em>║Solving║:</em></u>
<em>Since, the amount of cubed cheese that Veronica wants to buy = 1 3/4 pounds then turn it into improper fractions.</em>
<em>Which:</em>
<em> 1 3/4 = 7/8 pounds</em>
<em />
<em>We also knows that:</em>
<em />
<em>Weight of the container in which Mr. Sand places the cube = 1/16 pounds</em>
<em>Weight of the cubed cheese and container together = 1 1/4 pounds</em>
<em> Turn into improper fraction.</em>
<em>Which:</em>
<em>1 1/4 = 5/4 pounds</em>
<em />
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>The amount of cubed cheese placed by Mr. Sands = (5/4 - 1/16) pounds</em>
<em> = (20 - 1)/16 pounds</em>
<em> = 19/16 pounds</em>
<em>Hence,</em>
<em>The quantity of more cheese that Mr.Sands need to add to the scale is:</em>
<em>(7/4 - 19/16) pounds</em>
<em> = (28 - 19)/16 pounds</em>
<em> = 9/16 pounds.</em>
<em />
<em>Base on the solving above we can conclude that need to add 9/16 pounds of cubed cheese to fullfil the order placed by Veronica.</em>
