First, you need to figure out how many people are actually attending the event. It says that there are 50% more so we are going to have to add 56% of 150 to 150.

150 x 0.56 = 84

150 + 84 = 234

Now, we have to multiply this by 4.25, because this is the cost of the food per person.

234 x 4.25 = 994.5

Tyler used 1 1/2 gallons of paint to paint 5/7 of a fence. How many gallons will it take to paint the whole fence?

Answer:

1) (1 1/2)(7/5) = g

2) (1 1/2)/(5/7) = g

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Tyler has painted 5/7 of the 7/7 of the fence. So the total amount of the fence is (7/7)/(5/7) = 7/5 as much as what was already painted.

The total amount of paint needed is then 7/5 the amount already used:

g = (7/5)(1 1/2) . . . . . gallons of paint needed for the whole fence

2) If g gallons are required for the whole fence, the amount used so far for 5/7 of the fence is 5/7 of the quantity required:

(5/7)g = 1 1/2

g = (1 1/2)/(5/7) . . . . division expression for the paint needed
