The fence is 26*7=182 square feet. 1 gallon is enough for 350 square feet and x for 182 square feet. => x=182/350=0.52 gallons. I hope I'm right.

Divide the number 480 in a ratio of 3:5

Schach [20]

If it is a ratio of 3:5 you are dividing 480 into 8 parts (3+5).

So divide 480 by 8: 480/8 = 60

Then the ratio is (3x60):(5x60) or 180:300

To check it is correct, add up the two parts to see that they come to 480:

180+300 = 480. All good.

Hope this helps

If there are 6 serving in a 2/3 pound lb package of pound is in each serving

Serhud [2]

Answer:

$\boxed{\math{\frac{1}{9}\text{ lb}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Size of one serving} = \dfrac{\text{Total size}}{\text{No of servings}} = \dfrac{\frac{2}{3}\text{ lb}}{\text{6 servings}}\\\\\text{Change the 6 to a fraction and change divide to multiply}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3} \div 6 = \dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6}$

$\text{Cancel the 2s}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\text{Multiply numerators and denominators}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{9}\\\\\text{Each serving contains }\boxed{\mathbf{\frac{1}{9}\textbf{ lb}}}$
