Answer:
You will need 3 6/13 quarts of peanuts to make 3 jars of peanuts butter
Step-by-step explanation:
To make this answering seamless, we make the mixed fractions into improper fractions
Hence 2 1/2 becomes 5/2
while 2 1/6 becomes 13/6
Here we are told that a bag with 5/2 quarts of peanuts can make 13/6 jars of peanuts butter
Hence, x quarts of peanuts will make 3 jars of peanuts butter
To get the value of x, what we simply need to do is to cross multiply.
Thus, we have
5/2 - 13/6
x - 3
3 * 5/2 = 13/6 * x
15/2 = 13x/6
26x = 90
x = 90/26
x = 45/13
x = 3 6/13
(the scale shows that 1 inch = 8 ft)
a) 56 ft [ (7 ×8) ft ]
b) 3 inches [ (24/8) inches]
