Usually when you do expressions involving subtraction you can do Keep, Change ,Change
That means you keep the sign of the first number and change the other two signs.
It is best you rewrite the expression to addition because a lot of people don't do well with subtracting .
Ryan will need 6 pounds of meatloaf. If you want to know how I got my answer, my work along with the answer will be shown below:
3/4 pound=1 small meatloaf
*Multiply 3/4 pound by 8 because he wants to make 8 small meat loaves, or just add 3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4*.
#1 way (recommended): 3/4*8/1=24/4....=6 pounds
#2 way: 3/4+3/4=6/4+3/4=9/4+3/4=12/4+3/4=15/4+3/4=18/4+3/4=21/4+3/4=24/4=6 pounds
I hope this helps! Let me know if you still need help!
