Max makes bread that calls for 7/8 cup of raisins per loaf. He has 5 1/4 cups of raisins. How many loaves of bread can he make?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is NOT 6 1/2 loaves it is 6 loaves.

Knowing that there Max has 5 1/4 cups of raisins and each loaf requires 7/8 cup of raisins, we would need to divide.

Let's turn the 5 1/4 into an improper fraction so when we divide the two fractions, it would be easier!

<u>To turn 5 1/4 into an improper fraction we need to...</u>

5 x 4 = 20

20 + 1

21/4

Now we divided 21/4 by 7/8.

When dividing fractions remember the rule: KEEP CHANGE FLIP!

We keep the first fraction...which is 21/4 in this case

Change the sign from division to multiplication

21/4 x 7/8

And flip 7/8 so it becomes 8/7

21/4 x 8/7

= 168/28

  = 6 loaves

So, the answer is not 6 1/2 loaves (false!)

<h3>Answer:   (0, -1)</h3>

Look where the graph crosses the vertical y axis. This point is the y intercept.

In this case, the y intercept is located at (0, -1)

You start at the origin (0,0) and move down 1 unit to get to (0, -1)

Side note: The equation of this line is y = 2x-1
