Question

Edward’s recipe for salad uses a ratio of 214 cups of lettuce to 12 lb of tomatoes. After reading the written response statement above, using your knowledge of equivalent fractions and decimals, determine the equivalent decimals to the given fractions in the statement above.

Answer 1

a.

(9/4)/(1/2)

b.

For one pound of tomatoes we would end up doubling the recipe.

The equation would look like this  

2((9/4)/(1/2)

You would distribute and get

(18/4)/(2/2)

which when simplified once is

(9/2)/(1)

but once simplified even more you get your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

17.8333 OR 0.056074766

Step-by-step explanation:

If the fraction is 214/12, you divide the denominator by the numerator to find your decimal. 214÷12= 17.8333

If the fraction is 12/214, the decimal would be 0.056074766, or 0.06 if you round up.
