Jerome bought C. $4\frac{7}{8}$ pounds of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that we multiply the whole number with the denominator and add with it the numerator while the denominator remains the same.

To convert this fraction $1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(1)(2)+1}{2} =\frac{3}{2} .$

To convert this fraction $2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(2)(4)+3}{4} =\frac{11}{4} .$

So Jerome bought $\frac{3}{2}$ pounds of jelly beans, $\frac{5}{8}$ pounds of gumballs and $\frac{11}{4}$ pounds of chocolate.

Step 2:

We add all the values to determine the total candy bought.

$\frac{3}{2} +\frac{5}{8} + \frac{11}{4} = \frac{(4(3)+1(5)+2(11))}{8} .$

$\frac{(4(3)+1(5)+2(11))}{8} = \frac{39}{8} .$

$\frac{39}{8}$ can also be written as $4\frac{7}{8}$ .

So Jerome bought $4\frac{7}{8}$ pounds of candy which is option C.

A total of 132 potential customers visit 22 vendors at a flea market. What is the ratio of customers to vendors?

babunello [35]

The ratio would be 132:22
since, it is customers to vendors.
The key word is "to" which indicates the order of the ratio.
Hope this helped.

Write 77.5% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The answer is $77\frac{1}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

77.5%.

Now, to write as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.

77.5%

So, we divide by 10 by removing decimal as decimal is at tenth place.

= $\frac{775}{10}$

So, simplifying it:

$=\frac{155}{2}$

Now, we change into mixed fraction:

$=77\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the answer is $77\frac{1}{2}$ .

Wanda makes deliveries for a local store on Saturday.she has a choice of being paid $20.00 per day plus $1.00 per delivery or $3

Degger [83]

First you have to set up the equation which would be 20+1x=30+.50x

You can't have a c variable on both sides so I have to subtract .50x on both sides
20+1x=30+.50x
-.50x. -.50x
-----------------------
20+.50x=30

Now you have to subtract 20 from both sides
20+.50x=30
-20 -20
-------------------
.50x=10

Once you get to this point you divide both the .50x and 10 by .50
.50x=10
.50x/.50=10/.50
-----------------------
X=20

The final answer would be that it takes 20 deliveries for the amount of money to be the same for both pay schedules.

(If you want to check the answer you can plug 20 in for x with out starting equation)
