Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

Amelia need 1/2 stick of butter to make cornbread he also needs one fourths stick butter to make apple muffins what fraction of
Viktor [21]

Amelia needs \frac{3}{4} stick of butter to make cornbread and apple muffins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Stick of butter needed to make cornbread = \frac{1}{2}

Stick of butter needed to make apple muffins = \frac{1}{4}

Total stick of butter needed = Cornbread + Muffins

Total stick of butter needed = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}

Total stick of butter needed = \frac{2+1}{4}

Total stick of butter needed = \frac{3}{4}

Amelia needs \frac{3}{4} stick of butter to make cornbread and apple muffins.
