Answer:

1 3/4 or 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals

1/4 = 0.25

2/4 = 0.5

3/4 = 0.75

Now, for the numbers for this problem.

2 3/4 would be equal to 2.75

3 1/2 would be equal to 3.5

Add those two numbers together and you get 6.25

Subtract that from 8 and you get 1.75 or 1 3/4

Bryan and Jadyn had barbeque potato chips and soda at a football party. Bryan ate 3 oz of chips and drank 2 cups of soda for a t
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

200 mg sodium is in 1 oz of chips and 50 mg sodium is in 1 cup of soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mg sodium is in 1 oz of chips and and y mg is in 1 cup of soda.

∵ Bryan ate 3 oz of chips and drank 2 cups of soda for a total of 700 mg of sodium.

i.e. 3x + 2y = 700 --------(1),

Jadyn ate 1 oz of chips and drank 3 cups of soda for a total of 350 mg of sodium.

i.e. x + 3y = 350 ---------(2),

Equation (1) - 3 × equation (2),

We get,

2y - 9y = 700 - 1050

-7y = -350

\implies y = \frac{-350}{-7}= 50

From equation (1),

3x + 2(50) = 700

3x + 100 = 700

3x = 700 - 100

3x = 600

\implies x = \frac{600}{3}=200

Hence, 200 mg sodium is in 1 oz of chips and 50 mg sodium is in 1 cup of soda.

Is 6/7 equal to 3/4?
zheka24 [161]
Ok so, when working to find if a fraction is equal to another you must know what it is cut down by. So 6 / 2 = 3. Now let's break down 7 by 2. It is 3.5 that is not four. So no 6/7 so not equal to 3/4.
