Mathematics

Answer: 1.0625\ pounds or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "A chicken salad recipe calls for \frac{1}{8} pound of chicken per serving . How many pounds of chicken are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving".

You can convert the Mixed number to a Decimal number. Divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 2 and then add the quotient to the Whole number. Then, you get:

8+0.5=8.5

Now divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 8 to write the fraction to a Decimal number. Then:

\frac{1}{8}= 0.125

Let be "x" the amount of pounds are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving.

Then, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}

Solving for "x", you get:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}\\\\x(\frac{1}{0.125})=8.5\\\\x=8.5*0.125\\\\x=1.0625

or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds

Farmer brown picked some oranges ,he gave 3/8 to John and 2/3 of the remainder to steve if steve received 75 oranges how many or
Wittaler [7]
We know that 75 equals 2/3 of the remainder
which means 1/3 of the remainder is equal to 75/2 (37.5)
if 1/3 equals 37.5 then 3/3 (or all of the remainder) is equal to 3*37.5 (112.5)
We know that the remainder equals 5/8 of the oranges since
8/8-3/8= 5/8
We know that 112.5= 5/8, which mean 1/8 is equal to 112.5/5 (22.5) and that 8/8 or the total number of oranger equals 22.5*8 (180)

RESULT:
180 oranges
