Answer:
1 69/145 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratio's to solve this problem. We will put water over time
214 cups x cups
--------------- = --------------
145 hours 1 hours
Using cross products
214 *1 =145 x
Divide both sides by 125
214/145 = 145x/145
214/145 = x
145 goes into 215 1 time with 69 left over
1 69/145
Answer:
202.3 ounces of real silver
Step-by-step explanation:
Another example would be like pizza. If there are 6 slices of pizza in each box, then 2 boxes of pizza would have 6 + 6 slices = 12 slices. It is 6 slices each * 2 boxes = 12 slices total. The same applies to the coin situation, for every additional coin, multiply 0.85 by the number of coins to get the total weight of real silver.
If there are 238 silver coins, then you have 238 0.85 ounces of real silver. Multiplying 238 by 0.85 to simplify gives you 202.3 ounces of real silver.
