Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! an onion soup recipe calls for 3 2/3 cups of chopped onions. katrina has already chopped 1 1/3 cups of onions. She wants to know how many more cups she needs to chop. (I WILL MARK Brainliest for answers with a great explanation and written down solutions to the problem!)

Answer 1

Answer:

$x+1\frac{1}{3}=3\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cups of onions Katrina still needs to chop = x

She has already chopped the onions = $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups ≈ $\frac{4}{3}$ cups

So total amount of chopped onions = $(x+\frac{4}{3})$ cups

Since, onion soup recipe calls for the chopped onions = $3\frac{2}{3}$ cups ≈ $\frac{11}{3}$ cups

Therefore, equation which shows the number of cups of onions to be chopped more will be,

$x+1\frac{1}{3}=3\frac{2}{3}$

We further solve this equation for the value of x,

x = $\frac{11}{3}-\frac{4}{3}$

x = $\frac{(11-4)}{3}$

  = $\frac{7}{3}$ cups

  ≈ $2\frac{1}{3}$ cups
