1 marble = 2 chocolate
3 marble = 6 chocolate
They only ate 5 chocolate slices so they ate more marble.
1) Divide 3/4 by 1/2. Remember how to divide fractions. Switch the problem into a multiplication problem.
<span>3/4 x 2/1 = 3/2 (so you could only have 1 and 1/2 servings with 1/2 pound of chicken in each serving. </span>
<span>2) Set up a little algebra problem. Let x = the multiplier of the original 3/4 pounds of chicken needed to make two full servings with 1/2 pound of chicken in each. </span>
<span>(3/4)x = 2(1/2) (Found this online V(0-0)v)</span>
Answer:
9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1 2/7=9/7
2 1/3=7/3
--------------
9/7+7/3x+3/14+x=9
18/14+3/14+7/3x+3/3x=9
21/14+10/3x=9
10/3x=9-21/14
10/3x=9-3/2
10/3x=18/2-3/2
10/3x=15/2
x=(15/2)/(10/3)
x=(15/2)(3/10)
x=45/20
simplify
x=9/4
