Question

Sal made 8 ft of sausage links on Friday morning. He used 4 ft for dinner service on Friday night. On Saturday morning, he made another 8 ft of sausage links and used 12 ft for dinner service Saturday night. What is the net change in the amount of sausage Sal had from Friday morning until after dinner service Saturday night?

Answer 1

Answer:

Net change in the amount of sausage Sal had from Friday morning until after dinner service Saturday night = 8 - 0 = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of  sausage links made on Friday morning = 8 ft

Amount of  sausage links used on Friday night = 4 ft

Amount of  sausage links remaining = 8 - 4 = 4ft           (i)

Amount of  sausage links made on Saturday morning = 8 ft         (ii)

So,

Total amount of  sausage links = 8 + 4 = 12 ft   (from (i) and (ii) )

Amount of  sausage links used on Saturday night = 12 ft

Amount of sausage links remaining = 12 - 12 = 0 ft

Net change in the amount of sausage Sal had from Friday morning until after dinner service Saturday night = 8 - 0 = 8 ft
