Answer:
You aren't supposed to add 3k
Step-by-step explanation:
3k is a positve number. So instead of adding you have to subtract to be able to move on. Correct way shown below. Once you get this step wrong your answer will also be wrong. At the end you also need to divide
19-2k= 3k-1
-3k -3k
19-5k= -1
-19 -19
-5k= -20
-5/-5= -20/-5
k=4
Find a common denominator
7/12 + 1/12
= 7/12 + 4/12
=11/12
Your father will require 14.6 cups of sugar for the larger group
<h3>Ratio and proportions</h3>
From the question, we have that 2.5 cups of sugar can be used to make recipes for 6 people that is;
6 people = 2.5 cups of sugar
In order to calculate for 35 people, we will have;
35 people = x
Taking the ratio of the expressions
6/35 = 2.5/x
6x = 87.5
x = 87.5/6
x = 14.6
Hence your father will require 14.6 cups of sugar for the larger group

In order to find the unit rate of acres per day, or in other words, how many acres can they plant in one day, you must divide 5/8, the number of acres planted, by 4/5, the number of days it took to plant. When you divide the two fractions, first set up an expression:
5/8<span>÷4/5
Then, to make things simpler, turn the division expression into a multiplication statement so that you have 5/8*5/4. Then multiply straight across and you get your answer as 25/32. This means that the workers can plant 25/32 acres per day.</span>
