1 gallon cost $15
1 quarts cost $4
1 quarts = 1/4 gallon
15x for number of gallon cans
2 cans at $4 each = $8
15x + 8 = 53
Subtract 8 from both sides:
15x = 53-8
15x = 45
Divide both sides by 15:
x = 45/15
x = 3

Answer:
2. 92 ounces of Sprite
3. 1/6 do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches
4. 6 hours playing volleyball
5. 32 portions
Step-by-step explanation:
2. Sam has 8 cans of Sprite. Each can is 11 2/4 ounces
We can simplify 2/4 to 1/2
Multiply the number of cans by the ounces per can
8 * 11 1/2
8 * 11.5
92 ounces
3. 1/2 of the students want ham. 1/3 of those do not want mustard
We multiply 1/2*1/3 = 1/6
1/6 of the students do not want mustard on their ham sandwiches
4. 8 hours at the beach. 3/4 of the time was spent playing volleyball
Multiply this together
8*3/4 = 8/4*3 = 2*3 = 6 hours
5. We have 4 lbs of wings. We divide it into 1/8 lbs parts
4 ÷ 1/8
Copy dot flip
4 * 8/1
