Question

Mr.Neville Iceguy mixed up 12 3/5 gallons of chili for a party. If 7 3/4 gallons of chili was mild,and the rest was extra spicy, how much extra spicy chili did Mr.Iceguy make?

Answer 1

$4\frac{17}{20}$ gallons of chilli were extra spicy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total gallons of chilli made = $12\frac{3}{5}$

Quantity of mild chilli = $7\frac{3}{4}$

Let,

x be the amount of extra spicy chilli.

Mild chilli + extra spicy chilli = total gallons

$7\frac{3}{4}+x=12\frac{3}{5}\\\\\frac{31}{4}+x=\frac{63}{5}\\\\x=\frac{63}{5}-\frac{31}{4}\\\\x=\frac{252-155}{20}\\\\x=\frac{97}{20}\\\\x=4\frac{17}{20}$

$4\frac{17}{20}$ gallons of chilli were extra spicy.
