Answer:
4 3/8 cups of baking soda
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 cups of baking soda are needed to make 1 batch of a homemade cleaning product,
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch
How many total cups of baking soda I needed to make 2 1/2 batches of the cleaning product?
Let x = total cups of baking soda needed
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
x cups : 2 1/2 batches
Equate the ratios
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch = x cups : 2 1/2 batches
7/4 ÷ 1 = x ÷ 5/2
7/4 × 1/1 = x * 2/5
7/4 = 2/5x
Divide both sides by 2/5
x = 7/4 ÷ 2/5
= 7/4 × 5/2
Cross product
x = 35/8
= 4 3/8 cups of baking soda
Answer: 21 1/8 kilogram
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Chef bought 3 3/4 kilograms of apples 7 1/4 kilograms of pears and 10 1/8 kilograms of oranges. The total kilogram of fruits bought would be:
= 3 3/4 + 7 1/4 + 10 1/8
Note that the Lowest Common Multiple is 8.
= 3 6/8 + 7 2/8 + 10 1/8
= 20 9/8
= 21 1/8 kilogram
