The answer is gonna be (4,3) .
Okay, so I would multiply 62*7.5 to get 465.
To check the solution, make sure it follows the rules as in the word problem.
If you divide 465 by 7.5 you do get 62, so the solution is 465.
Mathematically, the equation would be
x
- = 62
7.5
I would multiply x/7.5 by 7.5/1 (to cancel it out) and 62/1 by 7.5 which is basically the same solution as above.
or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Desmond's Desserts made a batch of fresh scones with 2/3 of a pound of butter and 1/2 of a pound of sugar
<em><u>To find: Amount of butter used than sugar</u></em>
From given information,
To find how much butter is used than sugar, find the difference between them
Thus or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar
Linear function is the other equation
