Answer:

  less than 1 1/2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.

__

A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...

  1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2

  = 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30

  = 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2

In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...

  0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033

which is less than 1.5.

morpeh [17]
DE/2 = 30.5
CE=30.5
DC=30.5

3x + 5 = 30.5
3x = 30.5 - 5

Linn is making cookies. Each batch of cookies
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

4 cups of sugar require 14 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{7}{8}\ cup\ flour = \frac{1}{4}\ cup\ sugar

Required

Determine the cups of flour for 4 cups of sugar

First, we need to determine the unit rate for 1 cup of sugar.

This is done by multiplying both sides by 4

4 * \frac{7}{8}\ cup\ flour = \frac{1}{4}\ cup\ sugar * 4

\frac{7}{2}\ cup\ flour = 1\ cup\ sugar

Next, we determine cup of flour for 4 cups of sugar.

This is done by multiplying both sides by 4

4 * \frac{7}{2}\ cup\ flour = 1\ cup\ sugar * 4

2 * 7\ cup\ flour = 4\ cup\ sugar

14\ cup\ flour = 4\ cup\ sugar

<em>Hence;4 cups of sugar require 14 cups of sugar</em>

Malcom is filling bags with rice . He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each bag with 5/8 pounds of rice . H
timama [110]

Answer:

Malcolm would fill 8 bags of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the container of rice = 5\frac{1}{4} pounds = \frac{21}{4} pounds.

Each bag of rice has a capacity of \frac{5}{8} pounds.

The number of bags of rice that Malcolm fills = \frac{total quantity of rice}{capacity of each bag}

                                          =  \frac{21}{4} ÷ \frac{5}{8}

                                          =  \frac{21}{4} x \frac{8}{5}

                                          = \frac{42}{5}

                                          = 8\frac{2}{5}

Therefore, Malcolm would be able to fill 8 bags of rice.
