2 and 2/4 = 10/4
10/4 ÷ 1/4 = 10/4 × 4/1 = 10 cups
Answer:
2 1/4
How?
Set up a proportion. The proportion will be teaspoons of chili powder over pound of vegetables.
Because of the above, the first proportion will be:
x is 3/4 and y is 1/2. Across from that proportion make another one
x is "n" because you're trying to figure out how much chili powder you need. y is 1 3/4.
Multiply 3/4 and 1 3/4, which is 9/16. Then, divide 9/16 and 1/2, which is 9/8. Simplify it to 1 1/8, and Maxwell will need 1 1/8 teaspoons of chili powder.
Let's plug in the variables one by one.
6g - 2h
plug in 5 for g and 4 for h
6(5) - 2(4)
multiply
30 - 8
subtract
→ 22
20g
plug in 2 for g
20(2)
multiply
40
2(g + 1)
plug in 10 for g
2(10 + 1)
add
2(11)
multiply
→ 22
4g + 5h
plug in 1 for g and 4 for h
4(1) + 5(4)
multiply
4 + 20
add
24
Therefore, the answers that have a value of 22 are 6g - 2h and 2(g + 1)
The answer will be 3 yards
6 and 7 because it is 6.32
