Answer:
one fraction 17/5
mixed number: 3 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to find the unit rate, which in this case means the amount of fish you need per serving of soup.
If 16 oz of fish makes 24 servings, then 16/24 oz = 2/3 oz makes 1 serving.
Now multiply both quantities by 10, so that 10 servings require 20/3 oz ≈ 6.67 oz of fish.
A more direct way to do this is to solve for <em>x</em> in the following equation:
(16 oz fish) / (24 servings) = (<em>x</em> oz fish) / (10 servings)
Then (omitting units)
<em>x</em> = 10 • 16 / 24 = 20/3
Assuming they start saving at 0 dollars
45=total=duanesavings+micksavings
duanesavings=confusing, I will explain
mick savings =amount saves per week times number of weeks
duane saves 5 dollars every other week, aka 2.5 dollars per 1 week
DS=2.5w
MS=2w
since they save at same time and at that week, when the weeks are equal (w=w), 45 it total
DS+MS=45
2.5w+2w=45
4.5w=45
divide by 4.5 both sides
w=10
10 weeks
We already know from the given data that 6 pencils can be bought for 59 cents. We have to determine the number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95.
So
Price of 6 pencils = 59 cents.
Price of 1 pencil = (59/6) cents
= 9.83 cents
Now total amount in hand for buying pencils = $2.95
= 295 cents
Then the number of pencils that can be bought for 295 cents = (295/9.83)
= 30.01
So the maximum number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95 is 30 pencils.
