At the market, Ms. Winn bought 3/4 lb of grapes and 5/8 lb of cherries.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Part a) Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many ounces of grapes did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

$1\ lb=16\ oz$

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 3/4 lb of grapes

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

$\frac{3}{4}\ lb= \frac{3}{4}(16)=12\ oz$

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) How many ounces of cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

$1\ lb=16\ oz$

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 5/8 lb of cherries

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

$\frac{5}{8}\ lb= \frac{5}{8}(16)=10\ oz$

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) How many more ounces of grapes than cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Subtract the ounces of cherries from the ounces of grapes

so

$12\ oz-10\ oz=2\ oz$

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) If Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries, who bought more fruit, Ms. Winn or Mr. Phillips? How many ounces more?

Remember that

$1\ lb=16\ oz$

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{3}{4}\ lb=\frac{1*4+3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ lb$

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

$\frac{7}{4}\ lb= \frac{7}{4}(16)=28\ oz$

Remember that

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes and 10 oz of cherries

In total Ms. Winn bought

12 oz+10 oz=22 oz -----> total ounces of fruit

so

Mr. Phillips bought 28 oz of fruit

Ms. Winn bought 22 oz of fruit

$28\ oz > 22\ oz$

Find the difference

$(28\ oz-22\ oz)=6\ oz$

therefore

Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Jenny is making tie-dyed shirts for her class with her school colors,blue and yellow.she used a total of 8 ounces of fabric pain

Elodia [21]

Question:

Jenny is making tie-dyed shirts for her class with her school colors, blue and yellow. She used a total of 8 ounces of fabric paint. The amount of blue paint is 3 times the amount of yellow paint. Make a diagram to show the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint

Answer:

The ratio of blue paint to yellow paint is 3 : 1

Solution:

Let "x" be the amount of blue paint in ounces

Let "y" be the amount of yellow paint in ounces

She used a total of 8 ounces of fabric paint

Therefore,

x + y = 8 -------- eqn 1

The amount of blue paint is 3 times the amount of yellow paint

Amount of blue paint = 3 times the amount of yellow paint

x = 3y ------- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

3y + y = 8

4y = 8

Divide both sides by 4

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 in eqn 2

x = 3(2)

x = 6

Therefore , the amount of blue paint is 6 ounces and the amount of yellow paint is 2 ounces

Find the ratio

To find out the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint, divide the amount of blue paint by the amount of yellow paint

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{6}{2} = \frac{3}{1}$

Which means, of every 4 parts of paint, three parts are blue and one part is yellow

The diagram is attached below
