Allison can make 4 fruit parfaits.
Since one parfait requires 1/8 cup of yogurt, add:
1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8
They all share a common denominator, so:
1/8 + 1/8 +1/8 + 1/8 = 4/8
Simplify your answer (divide numerator and denominator by the common factor of 2) :
4/8 = 1/2
1/2 represents the total amount of cups of yogurt used. Since it took adding 1/8 four times that represents 4 parfaits.
Yes, because it can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers you
You could set up a proportion to figure out the anwer. 15 hurdles/60%=X hurdles/100%. Cross multiply, 1500=60x. Divide by 60, 25=X=total amount of hurdles. Hope this helps!
First solve one of the two equations (whichever is easier) for either x or y, whichever variable is easier. Let's say you solved for x. Then plug what x equals into the 2nd equation as x. So if you got x = 2y + 1, plug that into your other equation and solve for y (you should get a number value).
Now take whatever y equals and plug that back into what you got when you solved for x (the x = 2y + 1) to get what x equals.
