How many quarter pound burgers can george make out of 3 1/2 pounds of ground beef ?

2 answers:

6 0

Assuming that there is no wastage of beef.

Note that 3 1/2 = 7/2 = 14/4 = 14 * 1/4
This means that we can have 14 sets of quarter pound beef.

This in turn means that George can make 14 quarter pound burgers.

If you take it down to the unit rate George would be able to make 4 quarter pound burgers for every pound (because a quarter is one fourth) you can display this as 4/1 multiply the top and bottom by 3 and get 12/3 meaning George can make 12 out of 3 pounds and the 1/2 pound would be equivalent to 2 fourths or in this case 2 more quarter pound burgers add it to the 12 and the final answer would be 14.

What is the value of b in the equation (y)*

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the exponent rule that $\frac{1}{x^{n}} = x^{-n}$

In this case, $\frac{1}{y^{24}} = y^{-24}$

Set that equal to $(y^{b})^{4}$ :

$(y^{b})^{4} = y^{-24}$

Apply the exponent rule that $(x^{m})^{n} = x^{mn}$ so now you get:

$y^{4b} = y^{-24}$

Since the base is y for both sides of the equation, just set the exponents equal to each other and solve for b.

4b = -24

divide each side by 4 to get:

b = -6

X subtract 9 equals 3 / 5X

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x-9=\frac{3}{5}x$

First, lets get rid of the fraction. I did this by multiplying both sides by $5$ .

$5(x-9)=5(\frac{3}{5}x)\\5x-45=\frac{5}{1} *\frac{3}{5}x\\5x-45=\frac{15}{5}x\\5x-45=3x$

We want to isolate $x$ on one side of this equation. Let's put any values with $x$ on one side of the equation, and normal integers on the other.

$2x=45$

Divide both sides by $2$ .

$x=\frac{45}{2}$

If your teacher wants you to leave your final answer as an improper fraction, your final answer is this. If they want it to be a mixed number or decimal, your final answer will be:

$x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5$
