Answer:
Valentino needs 1 more pounds of chicken for the recipe.
Step-by-step explanation:
You just need to know how to subtract fractions.
Valentino needs 4 and 1/2 pounds of chicken for a recipe, and he already has 2 and 3/4. We want to know how many more pounds of chicken we need, so you subtract.
4 1/2 - 2 3/4 = 4 2/4 - 2 3/4
= 1 3/4
Valentino needs 1 and 3/4 pounds of chicken still.
Answer:
5 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey! So to start you need to create an algebraic expression. You can express this problem through the following equation:
*Note: if x is an odd integer, x + 2 is the next consecutive odd integer.
Expanding, you get:
And moving the 35 to the other side, you get a simple quadratic.
Solving by factoring:
This means two possible solutions for the smaller consecutive number are -7 and 5. However the question asks for two positive odd integers, so one of the numbers must be 5. The next will be 7(as its x + 2).
