It is to be noted that for this item, we more concern of the pounds of flour. The number of batches is calculated by dividing the total mass of flour used by the amount per batch. That is,
n = 86 lbs / (1 + 5/8 lbs/batch)
n = 52.92 batch
Thus, the chef makes approximately 53 batches of pasta.

P.S. Hello from Russia :^)
Answer: 9/14
Explanation. First, you have to find the least common denominator. The least common denominator is the lowest number you can use on the denominator to create a set of equivalent fractions
7 and 2 can both go into 14
Whatever number you use to multiply to equal 14, you do the same to the top.
It would look like this.
2/14 + 7/14
Then you add.
2/14 + 7/14= 9/14
You can’t simplify this fraction so this is your answer. Hope this helped!
Answer: a. Total cost = 3g+2
b. The total cost of 8 games is $26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Cost to bowl a game = $3
Shoe rental charge = $2 (One -time charge)
Total cost = (Cost to bowl a game) x (Number of games)+ (Shoe rental charge )
Let g= number of games, then the expression to find the total cost will be :
Total cost = 3g+2
To find the total cost of 8 games, put g=8, we get
Total cost = 3(8)+2
= 24+2 = $26
Therefore , the total cost of 8 games is $26.
