Answer:
If using one pound of pumpkin the baker needs to use 4 pounds of flour mixture
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: I am going to convert the measurements
into decimals
8/5=1.6
2/5=.4
step 2: I will use cross multiplication to find out how much pumpkin for one pound of flour
1.6=.4
1=?
1*.4=.4/1.6=.25
step 3: I will convert .25 into a fraction
.25=1/4
for every 1/4 pound pumpkin, I will use 1 pound of flour
which is why
If using one pound of pumpkin the baker needs to use 4 pounds of flour mixture
7(x + 2) = 6(x + 5)
7x + 14 = 6x + 30 |subtract 14 from both sides
7x = 6x + 16 |subtract 6x from both sides
x = 16
