option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>step 1 </u>:
Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff
'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff
<u>step 2</u> :
Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters
(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)
x = 14/34
x = 0.412
1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef
<u>step 3</u> :
To make 6 times the recipe = 6 
0.412
= 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
3/8y = 9/24 since 3*3=9 and 8*3=24
4 = 64/16 since 16*4=64
3z/x = 9z/3x since 3z*3=9z and x*3=3x
Answer:
$11,520
Step-by-step explanation:
4 * 8 * 12 = 384 cu ft.
384 * 7.5 = 2880 gallons
There are 16 cups in a gallon
2880 * 16 = 46,080 cups
46,080/2 * .50 = $11,520
Answer:
15 boys and 20 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Since we cant simplify 3:4 we will leave it just like that.
2. 3x+4x=35
3. We add them both to give us 7x=35
4. We divide by 7 to get x by itself which results in 35/7=5.
x=5
5. Now we found x we can create 2 seperate soulutions:
3(5)=
and 4(5)=
Therefore there are 15 boys and 20 girls in the class. This makes sense because 15/20 reduced is 3 over 4.
