Answer:
division equation
x/6 = 12
The size he should buy = 72 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr Ortega bought a ham. He wants to divide it into 6 ounce serving for 12 people . The division equation to find what size of ham Mr Ortega should buy is represented below.
Mr Ortega wants to share for each person 6 ounce serving for 12 people.
Let the amount of ounce he will buy = x ounces
Therefore, the division equation to find what size of hams Mr Ortega should buy will be
x/6 = 12
To find x we cross multiply
x = 12 × 6
x = 72 ounces
So he started with 3/4 lb and ended up with 2/3 of that so 2/3 of 3/4 'of' can be roughly translated as multiply so 2/3 times 3/4 =6/12=1/2 lb left or you know that there are 3 out of 4 parts pound left so 2 out of 3 parts of nuts is = 2/4 or 1/2 lb
The answer would be 20 or 9

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let J and M represent the current ages of Jacob and his Mother.
<u>currently</u>:
M = 3 +9J
<u>in 11 years</u>:
M+11 = 5 +3(J+11)
Using the first equation to substitute for M in the second, we have ...
(3 +9J) +11 = 5 +3(J +11) . . . . . substitute for M
9J +14 = 3J +38 . . . . . . simplify
6J + 24 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3J+14
J = 4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
M = 3 +9(4) = 39
Jacob is 4 and his mother is 39.
