From the table, for every 6 containers of water, you need 8 containers of red dye. So, for every one container of red dye you need 0.75 containers of water (6/8). Then, multiply that by 100 (since you wanted to know water necessary for 100 containers of red dye). For 100 containers of red dye, you would need 75 containers of water.
By my, calculations this means that there is an estimated number of restaurants that receive a Hawaiian pizza order from their menu and that is 7.5. So out of 100 restaurants, there are 7.5 Hawaiian pizza orders.
So we can set up a simple equation for this, where the word “what” is a variable, x. This equation is 3 - x=11. Then we subtract 3 from both sides, giving us -x=8. We can divide both sides by -1, giving us x=-8. The answer would be -8. Hope this helped.
Let’s set this equation up to make this easier.
melanie= 2 1/5 miles walked
cathy= 1 3/4 more times than melanie.
when an equation says the word, more than this means adding. when it says less than this means subtraction. when it says times (in this question) then multiply.
so, if cathy walked 1 3/4 more times than melanie what we would do is multiply 1 3/4 to what melanie was walking. so 2 1/5 times 1 3/4 which equals 3.85.
so overall, cathy walked 3.85 more miles than melanie.
