Question

Jay ate 2/3 of a pizza. Dan ate 4 times the amount of jay ate . How much did dan eat

Answer 1

Answer:

Dan eat $2\frac{2}{3}$ pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> amount of pizza Jay ate

y-----> amount of pizza Dan ate

we know that

$x=\frac{2}{3}$ ----> equation A

$y=4x$ -----> equation B

substitute equation A in the equation B and solve for y

$y=4(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{8}{3}$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{8}{3}=\frac{6}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}$
